Use 25x25 pixel cells to represent the game's tile grid. You can color-code cells for different materials or gases.
A Self-Powered Oxygen Machine (SPOM) typically uses Electrolyzers to split water into oxygen and hydrogen. Draft a design that uses a "gas-sorting" dome: hydrogen rises to the top to power a Hydrogen Generator , while oxygen is cooled and pumped to your base. oxygen not included
When creating your blueprint, prioritize these core "early-to-mid-game" modules: Use 25x25 pixel cells to represent the game's tile grid
To ensure your base is sustainable, factor these rates into your plan: Oxygen Not Included - Tutorial Bites - Rooms Draft a design that uses a "gas-sorting" dome:
Draft a "Main Spine" using Heavi-Watt Wire to connect all generators. Use Transformers to step down the power to standard wire for individual rooms to prevent circuit overloads and wire damage.
Drafting a layout or "paper" plan for Oxygen Not Included (ONI) is a common strategy to manage its high complexity. Because the game requires managing thermodynamic systems, gas ratios, and power grids simultaneously, players often use external tools like or graph paper to design systems before building them in-game. Essential Systems to Draft
Use logic gates (AND, OR, NOT) to automate mundane tasks. For example, draft a circuit that turns off coal generators when batteries are full to save fuel. Planning Tools
