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.
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
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. For example, draft a circuit that turns off
Use 25x25 pixel cells to represent the game's tile grid. You can color-code cells for different materials or gases. Use 25x25 pixel cells to represent the game's tile grid
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
When creating your blueprint, prioritize these core "early-to-mid-game" modules:
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
