When creating your blueprint, prioritize these core "early-to-mid-game" modules:
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 oxygen not included
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. Draft a design that uses a "gas-sorting" dome:
To ensure your base is sustainable, factor these rates into your plan: Oxygen Not Included - Tutorial Bites - Rooms Drafting a layout or "paper" plan for Oxygen
If you prefer in-game planning, the Blueprints mod on Steam allows you to "copy and paste" successful designs from one area to another. Critical Math for Your Draft
Useful for quick spatial sketches of room layouts and "pipe spaghetti" management.
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.
