A year later and it's still helping new players like me. Thanks a lot for the video series! Figuring all this out on my own qould have been such a major undertaking.
You should add an ONI mid level and Experts guide. Would be a good addition to this series, and give some good advice for noticing issues with later game colonies
Keep the season going! I really love that your introducing people new to ONI. Before this series, my way of playing ONI is to make a world, not even get to mid game, then create a new world. Rinse, recycle, repeat lol
Any of his other playthroughs are basically guides for different parts of the game, including the mid and late game. The problem with continuing a guide series like this is the guides become more specific, he's basically already done a lot of the mid and late game tutorials. That's why he emphasized exploring your planetoid early, you want to find out what you're working with and then you can look up the tutorials for that if you want. Otherwise I recommend his other playthroughs, the one he's doing now on the chaos seed is already very interesting, he just started the early/mid game with his first SPOM.
OMFG the little button "Select crew" or whatever was my problem. I thought that wasn't a button but a reference for the buttons below it and I wondered why no one wanted to fly that rocket.
Echo, I've played this game for hundreds of hours (top played game on Steam) and your Beginner's Guide has been immensely helpful, as well as several other guides of yours. I'd love to see a guide for mid-game play, with similar care and thought applied. Excellent work, good sir!
Recently got back into ONI and decided to finally go for Space after 200+ hours of restarting colonies once I get to the SPOM/Steel/Plastic stage. Your tutorial series has been immensely helpful in getting me back into the game, so thank you!
I don't want to say this, but... I'm pretty sure back when the game released, I was REALLY bad. Thanks to this made me see all the mistakes I made back then. Didn't even know about concepts of rooms, morale, weight of gases, etc. I didn't even know those critter were useful at all. Thanks you for your knowledge, hopefully I will start using it from now on!
Thank you for these videos! I almost gave up on ONI because I was getting so frustrated with trying to figure things out with just the wiki, but I'm enjoying the game so much more now!
Just finished watching the last two episodes. Thanks to this Beginner's guide, and only after 73.1 hours played on steam, am I soon to start exploring space. Thank you for your awesome work!
I consider it an achievement that I finished this series. It was great, learned a lot, was the final reason I bought oni (+sale) even tho I’ve watched other series of yours. Thankyou smsm, and happy travels!
misconception about the 'vacuum' of space is it actually doesn't "suck" and is purely reliant on the outward pressure going into it. if your space shuttle has a leak you can literally stop it with your finger or duct tape.
Learned the hard way that you have to use hydro sensors to close the liquid vents if you want to make a little accessible reservoir of either crude oil or petroleum. Since these two liquids don't naturally max out at 1000kg per tile the vent will never stop letting more in, at least until you have other problems with tiles breaking due to pressure damage.
I remember being very disappointed by the lack of space vacuum early on. My first colony was badly overpressure and I was hoping it would blow out dramatically
I have never used the oxylite in the storage trick, I usually just use the canister emptier and empty the o2 canisters that pile up from the atmo suits. I usually let it get 50-75kg per tile O2, And let them live with the Ears Popped debuff. A nice built module will easily have enough morale bonus and over power the debuff. I did all my Plastic Research machine thingy, And did not have any issues and stress stayed at 0%. The c02 piles up in one tile and cant do much against 70kg per tile etc. And I used the Outhouse the whole time and never used the wall toilet either. It helps rocket height this way because no gas cargo thingy. Also please keep the series going, Even more experienced players like to watch and to relax.
We making it out of The Duplicant Dump with this one 🥶🥶🔥🔥🔥 32:45 also this is very relatable sometimes the dupes decide to drink your waterlock for funsies
I always look foward to play ONI but had a really tough time learning the basics, it is hard to learn anything when there is dupes peeing everywhere and dying of hunger or carbon dioxide or hydrogen or slimelung or almost anything that exists in this game. Now thanks to you i got my first colony to cycle 100+ after about 30 hours of pain and suffering and it is doing fine(for most of it), thanks for the videos and keep up this awesome work
This series has been incredibly helpful and taught me so much I didn't know about ONI that now I am considering the expansion thank you for making these
Excellent series Echo! I've played a fair bit of ONI, but never managed to get through the mid game, never launched a rocket, never done the radiation stuff, never really made full use of the dlc. It's too easy to just restart when you've made a mess or can't see how to do something more technical! At least now I can give it a proper bash! So thank you in advance :)
Very nice! Really enjoyed this beginner series, Thank you! One thing that i missed.... Germs. I thought polluted water was same, but ran a water sieve for bathrooms, and started dumping "clean" water back into main tank, and boom! Germs. apparently room filled with chlorine gas is the solution to sanitize water, but I didn't realize germy water and polluted water were different things. lol
Really love the game but it always got overwhelming and intimidating before I could get too far. This beginner series has been great to give me the right kind of mindset of working with what’s around me and help me have some beginning math figured out (food, SPOM, ranching, etc) now I can establish the basic needs worry free and have fun exploring biomes and etc! Thanks so much, I enjoyed learning the game with your tutorials and I followed along with the same game seed to get a good practice run with what I was learning (with a bit of occasional free styling of course) 😊
It seems I found this series just in time! I watched episode 12 last night. Thanks so much for putting this series together, I feel so much more equipped to have some idea what I'm doing now!
Just finished the series. Great job in covering everything. When I first looked at a few first time playthroughs of the game I was thinking “ what a cute little mining game” then after watching them kill all their colonists in horrible ways in a couple cycles ( still funny) I thought I needed a good starter guide because I real Zed there was a lot of physics in the game. This is definitely a game for science buffs! Thanks for the hard work and great job covering everything. Looking forward to deep diving into your deeper coverage of each subject videos. This was the first video on the game I wasn’t screaming at the screen “No you idiot don’t do that!” Followed by “ why would you do x before you did y?”. Mmmm so much common sense and logic, it feeds my soul.
Honestly what I need is a guide on dealing with meteors. It's changed a lot recently and I'd love to see a setup for reclaiming materials from meteors.
So this is quite interesting up to this point, I liked the game. Then once you hit water into oxygen things get so complicated that becomes more a torture than enjoyment. If you throw on top of that automation systems and more it becomes scary to jump in. My 2 cents, now I remember why I stopped playing the game. Yet I LOVED the guide and I will continue to enjoy the series since I don't have to figure out or suffer it :D
On the liquid vents (can't recall @Echo specifying this); they only stop pouring liquids out of them when the liquid tile covering it is at, or above, 1t / 1000kg, so the example as shown doesn't work on all liquids, e.g crude oil and petrolium forms a new tile below the overpressure measurement (somewhere around 810kg - 920kg). Personally had a number of wet accidents when I first started out with ONI cause of this, and hope others finds this useful 😊
Now, with the final episode complete, I'll be one of (probably) many to say; Great series @EchoRidgeGaming. Highly detailed for newer players, and to the point. Hope it'll track better now that the series is finished. Keep it up ❤
I have been watching the Home Sweet Home series and it was really helpful to keep learning things after these amazing series. Thanks for the content Echo!
Good morning Echo! Thanks for all the helpful information, space is something I have done very little in this game. Also little Echo has a plane that can fly in a vacuum . Can't wait for the next series, keep up the great work!
This series makes me feel better about my ability to manage in this game. I am at cycle 77, trying to work on steel. I'm glad I don't need to have figured out plastic yet
This was great. Thank you. I would enjoy this game. I've been playing Rimworld for years and many of the underlying systems seem similar. This is one I will definitely pick up.
Like everyone I don't want this serie to stop, but I guess the job is done. Thank you so much for guiding us in the mysteries of ONI, what a great game. I'm proud to be part of the University of ONI
Would it be possible to create a series like this called mid dage guide, or somethibg like that. A guide that takes us from this episode and further to the late game? I loved this series and learned so much from it 😁❤️
Thank you for this begginer's guide Echo, I was all hyped by this game when it came out and got it right away, but the unforgiving no-tutorial gameplay of Klei made me drop it after a couple unsuccessful tries of not understanding of how everything works together. Since then it has been gathering dust until I got a suggestion for one of your videos a couple weeks ago, and now I'm almost 80 cycles in and having a blast with my dupes in a non-DLC colony and considering getting the DLC soon. Thanks again for all your guide videos! 👍👍👍
You may have covered this in a past video, but could you teach us about insulated tiles? Layers of tiles? Is it worth doing double insulated layers? One layer with cooling pipes running through them? Should you run pipes through these tiles? Etc etc.
How different is the space stuff compared between someone who has Spaced Out, but not active, to someone (me) who has not gotten SO? If that made any sense at all...
I'm not sure how the new meteors work in Spaced out, but in the base game they had a pattern that lasts about 1000 cycles Something like: A A B A A B C B A A B A A B C D B A, (this isn't the exact pattern, just an example of a pattern close enough to describe what I remember of the pattern) with each letter representing progressively more intense showers. with the most intense showers happening towards the end of the repeating pattern but even towards the end of the pattern most meteor showers are still not very intense. I cannot imagine it is that different in Spaced out, where it's on a very long cycle and the most intense showers happen at the end of the cycle, but overall most showers are still the very weak ones.
Worth mentioning to use "roundtrip" on the rocket. That way you know you have fuel to get back. Also you did not mention the oxylite placed like you did overwrite the carbon dioxide and you had 16kg oxygen in the module and popped eardrums. Nice series, I know its for beginners but a little more in depth explanation wouldn't have hurt

simply the best. I play this game for a while now. And couldn't stop watching all the series. Great work, Superb content.

Best beginner guides I've seen! Thank you I learned a lot!
I've binge watch this guides in last two days they are really great. Thanks for all your effort. It really helps

19:08 Love the fact that pilot echo broke physics in order to fly that plane😂
you're video quality and production level is fantastic. Thank you for providing a superb jumping off point for my newest hyperfixation :)
19:15 weeee airplane echo!!!
Nice job finding the Hidden Echo!

Great video, I appreciate your explanation of this difficult subject!
Almost 300 h and never been to space. This will help.
Man I've been waiting for a guide on this topic, thanks so much
Thank you.
Really great content, learned a good number of things and can't wait to put into practice!
I'll definitely miss this series :')
But it was a blast to see
Thank you!
Sad this series is over. Looking forward to seeing what's in store next!
Absoutely excellent series man. I really enjoyed and learned a lot.
Thank you!

echo the red baron!
Have you always been able to melt a bissell and have it turn into liquid tungsten? Is that a new thing that was added recently ?
How different is the space stuff compared between someone who has Spaced Out, but not active, to someone (me) who has not gotten SO?
If that made any sense at all...
Decently so, but the basics are the same. Rocket go brrr.
Is there any negative effect for Duplicants when they are wearing space suits all the time?
They just run out of oxygen and need a refill, plus the suit wears out and needs to be repaired. That's all.
Thanks Echo!
WAIT ARE YOU SERIOUS? Rower can upack cargo? omg, why why why Klei didn't expalin that in the game!? Thank you

I was wondering if I could have the communities help I'm having real trouble with thermoregulator, It keeps on getting cold damage , Any ideas
oh i think u be using the colony summary in the final
Tickled tutsies
getting there...

outhouse in a rocket! lol that so dupe
Add some special episodes!
Oh for heavens sake. It's for Spaced Out. Put it in the title ffs so we don't waste our time
WTF LOL
