Utility Supplements Mod

Utility Supplements Mod adds a variety of practical utility items that are not considered medical or social supplements. It focuses on tools like sprayers, foams, gases, shells, and traps that can be used through multiple delivery methods for flexible colony management. (Requires Medical Supplements Mod.)

Utility Supplements Mod Features

For detailed information about all items and content, download the “Utility Supplements Notes” PDF.

Application methods

• Sprayer: Applies toxins directly as foam to small areas with manual control while drafted. Sprayers have limited uses with indicators.
• Mortar shells: Delivers foams and gases via mortars.
• IEDs: Uses shells as IED traps (only Insect Killer, Mind Killer, Tangle and Tear Gas IEDs are provided by default; other types require additional mod support).
• Foam poppers: Can be set up for Blight and Insect foam; insect foam poppers trigger on hive presence.
• Grenades: Insect Killer, Mind Killer, Tangle Killer and Tear Gas can be weaponised.

Applied foam lingers for a while and remains active, but will eventually disperse.

Mod options

• Research cost scaling: Vary base research costs by a percentage.
• Plant gas settings: Choose which plant gases are used and optionally cap maximum radius at full maturity for performance reasons; includes a Tangleroot creep toggle.
• Relative toxicity: Adjust effectiveness of toxins and active chemicals relative to default values (percentage).
