Critter Settings Manager
Configure every critter in Oxygen Not Included. Adjust lifespans, egg lay and incubation times, temperature ranges, calorie burn rates, diet conversion rates, and shearing production — all from a built-in in-game settings screen or directly via JSON config file.
- Covers 50 critters across the base game and all current DLC
- Change lifespan, egg lay time, and incubation time in cycles
- Change temperature ranges in Celsius — both comfortable and lethal ranges
- Change calorie burn rate — how fast the critter gets hungry each cycle
- Diet conversion — for critters that eat something and produce something else, adjust food calories multiplier, output amount multiplier, and food consumption multiplier
- Shearing production — for Drecko, Glossy Drecko, Bammoth, Regal Bammoth, Flox, and Shatter Flox: adjust scale/antler regrowth time and output amount
- Hydrogen atmosphere toggle — disable the Hydrogen atmosphere requirement for Drecko and Glossy Drecko scale growth
- In-game settings screen — click the Config button on the mods screen, select a critter, edit settings, save
- Every field shows the vanilla default value in its tooltip so you always know what you’re changing from
- Also supports direct JSON config file editing
- Install and enable the mod
- Go to the Mods screen and click the Config button on the Critter Settings Manager row
- Select a critter from the list on the left, edit settings on the right
- Click Save & Close when done — you will be prompted to restart
- Restart the game for changes to apply
Diet conversion and shearing production values are configured as multipliers. 1.0 = vanilla. The mod has zero effect on your game until you change a value.
Examples:
- Output amount multiplier 2.0 = critter produces twice as much coal, crude oil, etc.
- Scale regrowth multiplier 0.5 = scales grow back twice as fast
- Food consumption multiplier 0.0 = critter eats nothing (effectively free production)

The Aquatic Planet Pack DLC is currently in public beta and introduces several new critters. Support for these critters will be added once the DLC releases publicly.
- Compatible with the base game and all current DLC (Spaced Out!, Frosty Planet Pack, Bionic Booster Pack, Prehistoric Planet Pack)
- Aquatic Planet Pack support coming after release
- Safe to add to existing saves
- Should be compatible with most other mods
- If a game update breaks something, leave a comment and it will be fixed
Changes apply on game restart — not mid-session. All values default to vanilla so the mod has zero effect until you change something. Saving will prompt you to restart.
All text in this mod is in English only. Localisation is not currently planned. Apologies to non-English speakers — I hope the settings are intuitive enough to navigate regardless.
