Hello, I am relatively new to modding Rimworld. I was pondering if it was possible to modify the temperature system to simulate oxygen and its flow. I have dug around only a bit but wanted to know from more experienced people if this sounds even remotely possible.

You could create a new layer similar to the temperature one.
And a new need like the rest and hunger.

However, I clearly remembered Tynan said it was far too complex :P (AI behavior when confronted to complex choices) compared to the interest.

Good luck!

I feared the AI part. Basically I wanted to make a complete overhaul and make oxygen a factor. Outside would be considered an oxygen less environment which would be the equivalent of the cold and the interiors filled with air which would be like heat. My only dabbling in modding was re textures so I wanted to know if this was plausible before going in and re doing all the sprites and stuff.

I basically want to make a moon survival overhaul.

It is possible and i think if you look thrugh unifinished forums you should find a mod that did air already, so it might be a good start.
As for the moon part, keep in mind that this are rimworld and they sometimes have wierd anomalies, like bend magnatic field spots on the surface or that damn Ai space ship parts that seems to be abundand on the orbit :D
You dont need to go to the moon to get some no oxygen zones.
It might even be a spec biome with plants that suck oxygen :D
All i do is clutter all around.
