It's nice to have fresh tutorials for ONI. One of the problems I find is that there's too many outdated videos for this game, so your content is greatly appreciated!
I made a petroleum boiler in a debug world, and I did another step on saving petroleum, once the reservoir (a petroleum pool) was low enough, it would sense it and turn off the boiler's secondary sistems (like lighting, steam turbine cooling, etc...) i also put a sensor inside the boiler that detects if there is an overflow problem which shuts off the liquid vent to prevent further overflowing... Some not too complex automation. 👍🏻
I can't believe i found the oni tutorial series i've been looking for all this time. You explain basics and then move on to complex examples, you steer away from exploits or you at least mark them, and you show the examples in action AND in a base, just A+ video, well done
I make it to the end of every one of your videos. I waste long times over some stuff but when you say "meh, don't bother" it gives a fresh view, useful insight!
Honestly best video I've found on automation so far. Thank you so much for taking the time to go through all of this! The isolated examples for each and the "human translations" really helped.
Great summary of things to do! Some things that may be handy to know: Most generators have a slider, that 'switches on their fuel demand' based on battery status. If you have a ton of coal generators (or anything that is manually fed!), it can be used to 'cascade' the generators. Like you set the first one to 55%, second to 50%, 45% and so on, evenly spaced out between like 60 - 10%. Now, have a battery that controls all of them, and its set to like 65-90% to switch the generators. If the battery enables the generators AND it does only drop slowly, only one generator will demand fuel and start to charge. Over some charge/discharge cycles, it will only fuel the generators that need to be running to keep the battery fed. (Works especially well if you have auto-sweepers feeding the generators!) This way you do not turn on the whole batch of like 20 generators if only 4-5 are needed. (It does not waste any fuel if you fuel all of them and turn them on for only 1 second only, but it feels better if they do not just flicker on/off to push the batteries up.) The slider can also be used as an automatic backup system. Have a few manual generators set to 5% around your base, and if your power grid fails and batteries get depleted it will call dupes to help out. A similar use case comes up if you have many large consumers on a big wire, you can enable generators based on consumption to smooth the battery level a bit.
Very good points! I'll usually add a pretty big buffer between when I'm asking generators to turn on, and when my batteries totally deplete. But yeah, using automation and those sliders, you can do a lot of elegant stuff!
Using several of your tutorial vids as I'm getting hooked back into the game, they're super helpful and I've survived longer than ever before after having watched them, thanks a lot for the info and tips
Best Automation Tutorial, thank you for the all explanation, Automation is so confusing the first time because there is no context in game but this puts it into perspective, i can see how this will make the colony more streamlined and efficient.
I just started playing this game a few weeks ago. Thank you for the builds that you use. I have been just building random things and they front work. Now my dups can stop dying.
Dude, these videos are amazing. Played for about 100 hours and am just running up against all the secondary sort of systems and in 2 videos I've totally changed how I play!
This was the best video for automation I have seen! So glad I came across this. It was super informative and you finally made it "click" haha! Probably going to binge all of your other ones and most definitely subscribed. :)
After encountering issues with elements still not being sorted correctly I just wanted to add that, for me, it was necessary to use bridges to direct gas flow. I couldn't figure out why I was still getting elements not being sorted correctly. Adding a bride following my outputs fixed it. Thx for this series, very well organized and explained!
Thank you for these videos, I just watched the water management and this one about automation and I feel confident I won't keep restarting the world over and over again. Thanks to you I've what I need to keep having fun with the game instead of being frustrated of why I keep failing to survive
This is really useful, thanks. I started playing recently and with 2 worlds got to cycle 100 and reached a brick wall and couldn’t overcome it, and power usage was always the first thing to go wrong. I had no clue what I am doing (and still don’t, but that’s why I’m watching this) so never touched or even researched automation. Only 15 minutes in and finding loads of issues I had, especially with gas, solved relatively simply. I’m gonna give another world a try, so ty for the help :D
Oh man this really helped me understand how to work automation and how to use it for my bases moving forward! It's one of the things I struggled with understanding and making it work right. I love playing the game but never been able to get past certain parts. You're videos are very helpful! ^ - ^
This video along with all the others in your tutorial series are soo incredibly informative and concise (even though most are close to an hour... wouldnt want it any other way) ... you have been such a huge help. Thank you soo much and keep it up!!!
Merci pour ces tutos! I'm really happy to be able to deal with automation thanks to your clear explanation Can't wait to watch your New vidéos as soon as the 2021 DLC will comes out!!
THIS VIDEO IS EVERYTHING I WANTED THANK YOU SO MUCH I AM SO HAPPY I've been struggling with automation for a while because experimenting with it was too costly (dupe time, energy, mistakes...) so I never really used it and I couldn't find any good visual, problem-solving, practical tutorial on it and you just made it!!
I know this video is old now but its really cool to watch! I play oxygen not included very casually, but I want to actually complete a playthrough soon so I've been looking up tips for what to do :)
hey man idk if you're still doing youtube, but thanks regardless, these tutorials helped me a lot in my bases and hopefully will keep helping me up until my first win. i'd love to see some more content but i hope you're doing good wherever you are.
Didn't know or maybe forgot that vents themselves could be automated to open and close. That's handy for a lot of things, such as keeping dupe eardrums from popping lol. Using just the first half of the video, one can set up a full HVAC system to keep the air inside the habitat germ-free pure oxygen at just the right temperature and pressure which I think should be the next objective after securing food, water, and power. With a good HVAC, you don't need to stress so much about creating perfect airlocks to the hazardous biomes or having to avoid taking flatulent dupes.
Thanks *so* much for the time you put into these videos. I don't know that I'll ever take the time to actually finish this game (I've made it only to about cycle 150), but it's still nice to see it being done regardless!
I know from your playthrough that you don't favour it, but a tutorial on how to safely handle slime both in terms of using it to make algae and dirt would be greatly appreciated.
I did talk about it just a little bit in my oxygen tutorial, but yeah, not in depth or anything. I'll make a tutorial that covers mining and some stuff about general resource production, but not sure when I'll be able to get to it. What specific things did you have questions about?
U can use timer/cycle sensors with OR gate to lock the dupe in a workstation! Open momentarily before breaks and a short while after breaks. I put all the mateirals for the researching/operating dupe in his station so he doesn't run around doing random stuff.
35:40 That is the saddest thing I've ever seen! You monster! (But in regards to the information, that was all really super useful and easy to understand, so thanks for making this, man.)
Great video! You helped me go from incredibly confused to slightly confused but I am excited to take this knowledge and test it all out. By the way, a human explanation to something is just an explanation. Lol
Firstly this is an amazing tutorial and great exercise for people that improve in English. Thank you. But secondly, I want to see advanced automation and ribbon system but that's fine for me. Thanks a lot
Awww, sorry, I haven't had a need for them in my own games yet because my automation systems and setups are generally pretty simplified. I will be going back and making more/new tutorials in the future, so I will make some about the more advanced automation/cables someday!
the memory gate is just a signal counter with a max count of 1 use it if it fits space needs better. also wattage sensors can be used to make a scaling powergrid instead of a storage power grid allowing you to run in time power demand using a single smart battery as a buffer and wattage usage to determine when extra engines turn on based on the grids usage this lets you blow a lot more power if you wanted to at the cost of very low tolerance to resource disruption since you would only have 20kj on reserve but you would be able to push a boat load of power assuming your resources were in order since you would have much more space for generators due to the lack of batteries
Thank you for this video once again :). I understand now properly the drowning process of the critters and the meat pick up by the shipping system. But for the eggs, themselves, my conclusion is that you simply drop them in the room above it and let them incubate on the floor ? then how do you automate the process for the grown critters to go the drowning room ? (but not the eggs yet).
Isn't the Or-Gate an XOR-Gate? If you want "either or both", a regular wire does the trick. It will always be "off" unless at least one sensor in the system is telling it to be "on". Might be an important information for beginners.
I don't think I've ever made an XOR gate in ONI, but the basic breakdown of XOR in general is that a green signal is sent if the two inputs are different. This is different from an OR gate because OR will still send green if both inputs are green, whereas XOR will not. I didn't mention the thing you're talking about (running a single wire through multiple inputs and getting the same effects as an OR gate), only because if you need a single input to trigger two different things (which is semi-common in a lot of setups), it can be confusing for players to deconstruct it and rebuild it correctly. I was considering mentioning it when I put this video together, but I figured there was already a ton of information already, and making an OR gate isn't very expensive (plus it's easier to read), so I just decided not to.
Awesome as always. I've watched all your tutorials now and I feel much more prepared to tackle problems I've had in previous playthroughs. I'm still not totally sure how you seal off rooms forever and are just fine with that but I guess you know what you're doing! That base at the end made my eyebrows go up a couple of notches. I'm nowhere near that level, impressive stuff.
Thanks for the tutorial. This game is quite challenging. I switched to the petroleum energy when my coal supply dropped below 2t. (cycle 70+) After that, I faced the oxygen problem and needed to switched to Electrolyzer. I barely finished the transition as the algae was less than 200kg. (cycle 90+) Since I reached maximum air pressure and my base was airlocked, I had to use two carbon skimmers (one inside the base, one outside. The outside air pressure also reached maximum) to get rid of the CO2. (cycle 110+) After that, I started to dig upward to space and maybe 30+ cycle later I found there were huge amount of hydrogen accumulated in the top of my base which prevented the growth of the meatwood. (And hydrogen all the way in the upward tunnel too.) This game really made me headache...
Update1: After trying several methods, I finally managed the H2 problem by building airlock doors on the farming region and using a gas pump and filter at the bottom of the base (near the electrolyzer) to pump O2 into the farming region. In that case, the H2 was pushed to the ceiling due to density and my plants would not be affected. Since 2H2O 2H2 + O2, if the base is completely sealed, the H2 will occupy 2/3 of the space. (In real world the gases just mix, but in ONI the H2 will occupy the upper 2/3 space of the base.) Therefore I continued to dig up to space to building a tunnel to release the gas. As I dug further, the base gradually filled with oxygen. Finally I stopped at just reaching the space and build an airlock door near it. Right now there won't be emergency issues for a while since my crude oil supply can last quite some time and my base sits above a steam geyser. I think it's time to deal with the power cable design. It seems this game uses the most vulnerable cable as reference to determine whether you reach the maximum wattage, and if overload happens, any portion connected to the same generator built by this cable can break, which doesn't make sense. (Imaging someone in your building tries to use 1 megawatt equipment, the cable that should break is the one in his room, not the one in your room. Hope this is easy to understand.) Another topic to deal with...
Great video. I was just wondering, one of the first things I usually do after unlocking automation is set up a dupe sensor and a light above the research station and super computer to get the 15% speed increase, this has saved me a lot of time researching, but I haven't heard anyone talk about it. Is there any reason why I shouldn't do this?
I've found the gas shutoff/element sensor to be quite... inaccurate, especially if you get blocking downstream, while the gas filter is flawless in its filtering. Having said that, there is a mod that'll reduce the required power for the filters. But great video!
I don't have very specific use cases for a lot of the other things, so it's hard for me to put it into context. You can always play around with them in the sandbox in the meantime.
@@Magnet_MD ok well thank you for the video it was great and does the k cut power generator the wiki saids it's still there but I can't find it in my game at all
are there any other survival/sim/colony games that use logic systems like this? I recently 100% ONI on steam and realized what made it so addictive was managing your resources and environment. It was like a puzzle in a puzzle that kept my interest for 700+ hours.
Before I go on a binge, I have to ask. Do you have any videos on how to move exact measurements of liquids or gases? For example, I’m trying to move 19kg of Crude to a Nat Gas tank, but each packet of liquid travels at 10kg/s. Thanks! Edit: I think I have an idea! Hydrosensor under a liquid vent set to 19kg, and somewhere along the pipe is a reducer set to 1kg/s. Once the liquid vent closes, deconstruct/reroute the Crude somewhere else to deconstruct the vent without any unwanted liquids.
It's nice to have fresh tutorials for ONI. One of the problems I find is that there's too many outdated videos for this game, so your content is greatly appreciated!
No worries, glad you are enjoying it!
I watched till the end. I would like to redeem my “thumbs up”
I made a petroleum boiler in a debug world, and I did another step on saving petroleum, once the reservoir (a petroleum pool) was low enough, it would sense it and turn off the boiler's secondary sistems (like lighting, steam turbine cooling, etc...) i also put a sensor inside the boiler that detects if there is an overflow problem which shuts off the liquid vent to prevent further overflowing... Some not too complex automation. 👍🏻
Totally! As long as you understand each part, putting a few parts together to get something complex isn't too bad.
I'm definitely going to have to watch this again, but really great.
I can't believe i found the oni tutorial series i've been looking for all this time. You explain basics and then move on to complex examples, you steer away from exploits or you at least mark them, and you show the examples in action AND in a base, just A+ video, well done
This video is extremely helpful. You do a really good job explaining the automation system and I learned so much. Thank you !
You're welcome! Thanks for letting me know :)
I make it to the end of every one of your videos.
I waste long times over some stuff but when you say "meh, don't bother" it gives a fresh view, useful insight!
With this knowledge, I cant wait to start over engineering and over automating everything possible just for the hell of it. Thanks for the vid
Time for dupe sensors and pressure plates all over the place!
Honestly best video I've found on automation so far. Thank you so much for taking the time to go through all of this! The isolated examples for each and the "human translations" really helped.
No problem! Thanks for letting me know that you got good use out of it :)

I learnt a whole lot from this video, the main thing though is that we both have VERY different definitions of basic XD
Using several of your tutorial vids as I'm getting hooked back into the game, they're super helpful and I've survived longer than ever before after having watched them, thanks a lot for the info and tips
You're welcome, welcome back!
ONI is a complicated game, so up-to-date tutorials like this is much appreciated. Well-earned subscribe from me, cheer !
Thanks. Learnt more from this tut than any other ONI video I've previously watched.
Best Automation Tutorial, thank you for the all explanation, Automation is so confusing the first time because there is no context in game but this puts it into perspective, i can see how this will make the colony more streamlined and efficient.
I finally understood what the filter and the buffer gates do. Thank you!
I just started playing this game a few weeks ago. Thank you for the builds that you use. I have been just building random things and they front work. Now my dups can stop dying.
Dude, these videos are amazing. Played for about 100 hours and am just running up against all the secondary sort of systems and in 2 videos I've totally changed how I play!
Thank you for this! It is so thorough and overall informative that it gets me excited to play Oni again after i feel like a failure with broken base!
You don't know much this helped me understand this game's automation mechanics. Bought the game during Steam's Sale and I've been loving it!
This was the best video for automation I have seen! So glad I came across this. It was super informative and you finally made it "click" haha! Probably going to binge all of your other ones and most definitely subscribed. :)
Woohoo! Yeah, automation can be confusing, and that's why I decided to take on that beast first, haha
Just started playing ONI and i am loving this tutorial, thanks for this man!
I watched the entirety of this video. Your tutorials are awesome.
Everytime I see your video, I learn something new. Thanks!
Wow man, thanks for setting this up. It really answered a ton of questions for me. The power cost of the gas filters was driving me crazy until now.
After encountering issues with elements still not being sorted correctly I just wanted to add that, for me, it was necessary to use bridges to direct gas flow. I couldn't figure out why I was still getting elements not being sorted correctly. Adding a bride following my outputs fixed it.
Thx for this series, very well organized and explained!
I love you man. I might actually try to beat this game now after watching this
You can do it!
Fantastic guide. I've been looking for simple solutions all over the place, and this is perfect.
Good to hear, thanks!
Watching this as I'm building.. Probably watched this at least 10 times. You made it easy to follow. Nice!
by far the only video on automation that i can understand! Thanks for making this. Can't wait to try it all out.
You're welcome, hope you have fun with it!
Thank you for these videos, I just watched the water management and this one about automation and I feel confident I won't keep restarting the world over and over again. Thanks to you I've what I need to keep having fun with the game instead of being frustrated of why I keep failing to survive

Been playing for a couple of weeks just, and your tutorials have been SO useful - thanks for all your efforts, very much appreciated!
Not gonna lie, this video got me excited about automation when i was literally that guy like "woah there's way too many pieces, peaceee"
This video is super helpful since I just got back into ONI. Thank you so much!
I literally stopped playing ONI because I couldn't figure this out. Thanks for the basics. :)
Oh man this really helped me understand how to work automation and how to use it for my bases moving forward! It's one of the things I struggled with understanding and making it work right. I love playing the game but never been able to get past certain parts. You're videos are very helpful! ^ - ^
This was a long video. And i appreciate it.
It was worth watching.
Thank you, I'm off to apply this.
Thanks for sharing clean and efficient logic use. Or circuit wiring. This was a few of the things I was having a lot of trouble with.
Well, I don’t expect this game to be reminding about my college stuff. Great video btw, gonna dig the remaining automation stuff.
This video along with all the others in your tutorial series are soo incredibly informative and concise (even though most are close to an hour... wouldnt want it any other way) ... you have been such a huge help. Thank you soo much and keep it up!!!
Merci pour ces tutos! I'm really happy to be able to deal with automation thanks to your clear explanation
Can't wait to watch your New vidéos as soon as the 2021 DLC will comes out!!
THIS VIDEO IS EVERYTHING I WANTED THANK YOU SO MUCH I AM SO HAPPY I've been struggling with automation for a while because experimenting with it was too costly (dupe time, energy, mistakes...) so I never really used it and I couldn't find any good visual, problem-solving, practical tutorial on it and you just made it!!
You explain yourself so clearly. This is so helpful. Thank you!!
Love the shutoff for gases! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for the video! Automation seemed so complex and unapproachable but you break it down into really easy to understand pieces :)
I know this video is old now but its really cool to watch! I play oxygen not included very casually, but I want to actually complete a playthrough soon so I've been looking up tips for what to do :)
It's only a few months old!
Yeah! I made it!
I'm three hours into a new map, so.. Definitely needed to watch this all
hey man idk if you're still doing youtube, but thanks regardless, these tutorials helped me a lot in my bases and hopefully will keep helping me up until my first win. i'd love to see some more content but i hope you're doing good wherever you are.

I would have thought the most obvious use of a duplicant motion sensor was to turn on the lights when they are passing through a room.
Can't forget the auto doors as well
Nice video! Please show pluming sistems for cooling loops!
I'll prioritize this for my next tutorial!
This video is a savior , which help my little brain a lot .
This was super helpful it was a little intimidating when i first got into automating my base thank for taking the time to put this together
Watched to the end whew! Very good and actually made me understand it a bit more
Thanks *so* much for the time you put into these videos. I don't know that I'll ever take the time to actually finish this game (I've made it only to about cycle 150), but it's still nice to see it being done regardless!
Just finished watching this. Great video I'm new to the game so I'm going to try and use these in my own world.
Awesome, good luck!
Oh my goodness this was such an excellent video! I will definitely be taking this information and applying it to my base! Thank you!
There's so much satisfaction in this it's crazy
I know from your playthrough that you don't favour it, but a tutorial on how to safely handle slime both in terms of using it to make algae and dirt would be greatly appreciated.
I did talk about it just a little bit in my oxygen tutorial, but yeah, not in depth or anything. I'll make a tutorial that covers mining and some stuff about general resource production, but not sure when I'll be able to get to it. What specific things did you have questions about?
Man, thank you for your videos. They are all well prepared and explained well!
Practically ready for coding thanks so much this was really helpfu
U can use timer/cycle sensors with OR gate to lock the dupe in a workstation! Open momentarily before breaks and a short while after breaks. I put all the mateirals for the researching/operating dupe in his station so he doesn't run around doing random stuff.
Hahaha, I'll have to give this a try and see if it's more efficient :D
35:40 That is the saddest thing I've ever seen! You monster!
(But in regards to the information, that was all really super useful and easy to understand, so thanks for making this, man.)
Great video! You helped me go from incredibly confused to slightly confused but I am excited to take this knowledge and test it all out. By the way, a human explanation to something is just an explanation. Lol
I love watching on the second monitor, as I might not play ONI regularly. Does not mean I don't love automation ;)
what an amazing demonstration, it really seemed complicated but you showed everything step by step, thank you :>
Your tutorials are great and you are good at teaching stuff. I have subscribed your channel and hope you keep creating educational videos :)
Firstly this is an amazing tutorial and great exercise for people that improve in English. Thank you. But secondly, I want to see advanced automation and ribbon system but that's fine for me. Thanks a lot
Awww, sorry, I haven't had a need for them in my own games yet because my automation systems and setups are generally pretty simplified. I will be going back and making more/new tutorials in the future, so I will make some about the more advanced automation/cables someday!

Long but usefull, gonna watch this again and come back for other stuff
thx
Great job, thank you Brandon for this video :)
Greatly appreciated the explanations!
your tutorial videos are the best thanks bro
Thank you for this video once again :). I understand now properly the drowning process of the critters and the meat pick up by the shipping system. But for the eggs, themselves, my conclusion is that you simply drop them in the room above it and let them incubate on the floor ? then how do you automate the process for the grown critters to go the drowning room ? (but not the eggs yet).
Made it to the end, thanks for the through explanations
You're welcome!
yes, I watched the whole thing. Yes, I would watch it again :D thanks!
This is gold!
Copper or Iron also works! ;)

(Imaging someone in your building tries to use 1 megawatt equipment, the cable that should break is the one in his room, not the one in your room. Hope this is easy to understand.) Another topic to deal with...
Great video. I was just wondering, one of the first things I usually do after unlocking automation is set up a dupe sensor and a light above the research station and super computer to get the 15% speed increase, this has saved me a lot of time researching, but I haven't heard anyone talk about it. Is there any reason why I shouldn't do this?
Hm, that's interesting, I've actually never thought about this before. I mean, if it works, then it sounds like a good idea!
Yeah it's super simple but it seems like everyone overlooks it
Also I must say it is refreshing to see such a high level of quality with such great community interaction
@@sigor5321 Glad you think so! I'm just happy people are getting use out of it :)
Congrats on your video, bud. Thanks
This is an amazing tutorial. I am struggling witht he automation. This really help to ease the pain of it. haha
Nice video. I'm going to have to watch it a few times! Lol
Thank you for unburdoning my brain from figuring it all out myself. Just a quick question after all these years is anything different?
Great video!
35:39 The moment I see Puft Princ's face when it submerged I can't stop laughing. 😂🤣
Wow... I made it to the end =D I can see this game will probably take me a year or so to 'win' with the amount of free time I have lol
Really informative, thanks!
thanks for the in depth video
I've found the gas shutoff/element sensor to be quite... inaccurate, especially if you get blocking downstream, while the gas filter is flawless in its filtering. Having said that, there is a mod that'll reduce the required power for the filters. But great video!
i made it though the whole video and leaned a lot thank you vary much.
i would like to lean how to use some of the other logic stuff you didnt use.
I don't have very specific use cases for a lot of the other things, so it's hard for me to put it into context. You can always play around with them in the sandbox in the meantime.
@@Magnet_MD ok well thank you for the video it was great and does the k cut power generator the wiki saids it's still there but I can't find it in my game at all
Thank you so much really needed this
are there any other survival/sim/colony games that use logic systems like this? I recently 100% ONI on steam and realized what made it so addictive was managing your resources and environment. It was like a puzzle in a puzzle that kept my interest for 700+ hours.
Also you need more comments to make you more popular so here is another comment. Kudos!
Just here for my thumbs up 😊
Before I go on a binge, I have to ask.
Do you have any videos on how to move exact measurements of liquids or gases?
For example, I’m trying to move 19kg of Crude to a Nat Gas tank, but each packet of liquid travels at 10kg/s.
Thanks!
Edit: I think I have an idea! Hydrosensor under a liquid vent set to 19kg, and somewhere along the pipe is a reducer set to 1kg/s. Once the liquid vent closes, deconstruct/reroute the Crude somewhere else to deconstruct the vent without any unwanted liquids.
