I was briefly but effectively gassed with chlorine as a child in a hot tub on accident. It was pretty scary. Someone turned on the jacuzzi while we were in there, and there was either too much heat or way too much chlorine (or probably both) and all the gas came out into the pool at once when the jets started. It hit us like a truck. My four siblings and I had all of our breath stop in our chests almost simultaneously, we suddenly could barely breath and it was difficult to even cough and everything started to burn (eyes, lungs, throat, etc) all at once. We were so confused and scared and didn't know what to do because we just couldn't breath anymore and didn't understand why or what was happening at the time. So we were sloshing around in the water gasping for air and totally panicking, we couldn't even cry out for help. Mom sees this spectacle and starts FREAKING. OUT. and goes into ultimate momma bear this-isn't-even-my-final-form mode and started launching our tiny asses out of the water and laid us out on the concrete face up. Our breath came back pretty quick once we were out of the chlorine and back into the fresh night air, but it was pretty terrifying for those couple of minutes. Tl;Dr Don't fuck around with chlorine gas IRL. Will literally take your breath away. If your mom is there, she will lose her shit and go full super-saiyan.
@@jairusjairus3372 It's chlorine gas that replaces the oxygen you're breathing with chlorine which suffocates you. The chlorine in the pools you won't breath in unless you wanna drown xD
Dude what an amazing series you have going here. I’m literally spending precious free time before work binge watching these and having me buy the game when I get home. You deserve way more subscribers, this has been a very informative, creative, and fun tutorial guide series.. okay now back to watching.
After 7 attempts, my 8th Colony finally made it past Cycle 100! I owe a lot of that to what I have learned from watching your tutorials. Thanks so much!
How's it going now? I actually don't think eight attempts is actually that many, this game is super complicated. I'm watching this so that I can have less anxiety when I play it. I literally am on the edge of a panic attack when I play, so I'm hoping that these videos will show me that I don't have to rush.
A very simple early way to go into a chlorine area to store things is to make sure you dig down into it instead of entering sideways. Since it's heavier than O2 it can't get out then.
It's worth mentioning that upgrading jobs increases how fast dupes stress out if you don't have enough quality of life stuff for morale points. It's actually better to cross train dupes rather than level them early on to keep stress more manageable. You need amenities, such as the room bonuses, to keep the higher level job tier dupes from stressing. This is for two reasons, one is to have a "backup" in case one of your dupes die so you're not stuck with a lvl 1 dupe desperately trying to keep up if one with an important job is lost, and the other is so that they can perform more jobs well because having a dupe for every job is a bad idea early on.
Thank you for the guides. I just started playing this game again so good timing for me :) In the past, I found that using water air locks gave the dups 'soggy feet' and elevated their stress levels significantly. Thanks again.
I also like to make sure that I have enough abyssalite and sieves researched before getting into Lavatories and Sinks so I can create a perpetual source of bathroom water that doesn't leak heat. Anyways, keep up with the great videos!
You have really convinced me into buying this game. I am so excited to play it but I feel I really need to watch your tutorials to keep learning new stuff to keep my colony alive. I don't want to watch too much in advance since I also want to figure out things on my own, but I guess you need some sort of a base knowledge to get started.
So I've realised one of my biggest issues with this game is I've been building a new oxygen source every single time I've been told there's not enough being produced. My record is 14 scattered around a base 2/3 the size of yours at this point. I had no idea those things were so efficient like that
Circulation is the key. Once you get 6 to 8 dupes you probably need a second one to keep up, but one is fine for five or six. The problem is running out of algae after a while, so you really need to move on from the oxydizers fairly quickly.
I like this series so much. You know i noticed you kinda already do a tutorialish style with your most recent playthroughs with the way you describe why and how you do things.
So what do you use chlorine for in this game aside from making a room for sterile food storage? I played until cycle 250+ and thing is that at that point I ran out of water and most of my water needs refinement and other issues such as my base being full of germs and ran out of filtration material to use to clean up pollution and now my people are living in a base that is as polluted as a dump. Those chlorine areas are the only spots in the game that I didn't dig it up and choosing the first option for my base, it was quite distant and past so much of the slime like places that I had to open those up to reach them. The resources do feel quite limited when playing the game and I might have to watch your entire video series if I hope to have a base that can reach outer space in this game as I have done all the research except the research that requires telescope data to be doable. That was my second game as my first game I ended up with most of my people dying, but this second playthrough I opened up much more of the area, but it becomes hard to maintain good oxygen and I also reached a natural gas area and used it for power until it became dormant and not emitting anything and at the same time I found multiple of those places that act as powerful heaters to the point where digging out the entire snow area barely held my base temperature constant as instead of regular room temperature, I reached a base with 40 degrees C (110 degrees F) temperature like hot weather areas in real life. Watching your series will help me find out how to better manage my base so I don't have to not be able to survive after a long time especially when it comes to digging out stuff. Also is there some way to really zoom out and see the whole map at once outside the game to be able to know where stuff are like we have an unofficial map editor for terraria for example?
About the heat / cooling thing at 8:05 - It's understandable, that you want the heat at the top so it doesn't rise through the base... But wouldn't it be smarter to put cooling also higher - just below the heat zone, so it trickles down slowly cooling the whole base? Or is that not feasible?
I just want to say thank you for making these! I look forward to seeing what comes next. I've watched all 3 tutorials. I've watched the game a bit on twitch.tv before buying the game, but without experience or knowledge, I really didn't know what was going on. I've only had one colony so far, and I made it to cycle 50! I think I began expanding, and making things too quickly. I tried making a carbon skimmer with a water sieve which I think is outdated. There are a lot of videos with air skimmer (old name.) My pipes kept saying it was blocked, and I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. Plumbing, and electrical things are a little complicated for a new player. I finally set up my clean water to go somewhere, and my polluted water to go elsewhere. TL;DR.. I took one too many dupes, and didn't realize the air pressure in my food rooms changed enough to where my plants didn't grow... Everyone starved, and died off.
There is quite a bit of stuff to learn to be successful in the game. It's fun to fail and learn though. I've had many bases fail but I learned a new lesson each time. Two notable ones were my entire base overheating and a germ outbreak that had almost everyone sick. I do hope in the coming videos I can go into detail about some of the plumbing concepts and other things I learned. Have fun :)
I'm curious Wintermute.. why do you never use the ceiling light in your bristle blossom farm? I wonder if the ceiling light is better as it allows you to put in more plants.
As long as you plant one in every lit tile it will be efficient either way. I usually use ceiling lights too though. Also, i don't think I've ever planted one in anything except a hydrophonic tile. But people can be different. I don't mind.
Still love watching the tutorials! Still helpful! But hoping you’ll have time to make updated ones??? Like the canvas now for art is not easily available! 😭🥺😅 looking forward to more oxygen not included stuff from you!
I know you made these a while ago, but why dont you use the tiles as walls? like you could put a tile wall 1 block away from the water so if the sand/dirt did break it wouldnt leak.
i have no experience with any of the geysers, but it is well known that if you find at least 1 hydrogen geyser and 1 or 2 decent cool steam geysers, you would be fine, tho do keep temperature in mind :D
Wes Anderson Area around random geysers are always around -40'C when you start the map, then this heat will spread out. So there can even be a volcano.
i think the generation of the world puts cold tiles around buried geysers, so that the type of geyser remains hidden, there could be a hot steam geyser below it, you will never know till you try it out. is it fun to lose a colony to heated steam cause your colony over heats ?
I have some at the bottom. If you pressurize the oxygen near the top the CO2 becomes more pressurized at the bottom. In the next video I think I start destroying it with the carbon skimmer.
Bosses: My employees looks stressed. Better put pictures of myself on the wall, that's make them feel better. Also Bosses: What this? An idle employee? Better assign more jobs to them. I'll make sure they write daily report too, so they know what they're doing every day. I'm sure as hell not gonna read those.
I find cooking anything until you get the grill to be utterly worthless, as it just consumes your water, makes dupes less productive. I just stick with 3 dupes until I have enough of a farm to sustain more.
I can’t watch most most videos on ONI because of the fake shrieking and “cool dude” s##t. Thanks for being real, I’m 75yo but a gamer since gaming began...all text. Haha it was fun then too.
Jack NG i dont like that trick because kind of cheating. I usually make a pit before dig chloorine so the chlorine gas will sink down. And put algae terrarium in front airlock tomake presure and oxygen.
It's not cheating or a trick. it's basic plumbing and how toilets work to prevent gases and foul odors from coming up from the sewer. Also basic physics. Gases can't move through liquids, except if jet powered. Which, you know, they usually aren't. If it wasn't like that the game would be silly. Anyway, not difficult to play without them. I like to play fart colonies for some extra challenge, and then you can't really build them because the dupes fart in the locks and cause flooding. But as long as you remember to never dig up into heavy gases that will sink or down into light gases that will rise, it isn't a problem. The only time I get problems is if I have a chlorine leak AND ng buildup from the farters on top of my basement Co2 early on, before I have had time to set up my skimmers and automated pumps to get rid of all of it. Working down under three layers of toxic gas is slow and stressful. NG also tends to drift a lot more than chlorine does because it is not that much heavier than O2. Bit of a crisis point with 16 flatulent dupes that. But still, it's free power!
The game falls flat for me. It seems unlikely the player could end up caring for any or all dupe(s) as they seem to be merely mobile furniture or machinery, a means to an end with no real character between any of them. No Silent Storm or X-Com emotional investment here. Others may disagree of course.

Yikes. Sounds like a nightmare. Good thing your mom saved you all. It is nasty nasty stuff for sure.
@Francisco It wasnt just more lethal, the stuff they used literally made you cough up chunks of your lungs.
Wait doesn't pools have chlorine?
@@jairusjairus3372 yes, but is less dangerous than the real chlorine (I am not saying it can't be dangerous at all)

Thanks Antonio :) Enjoy the game, it is super fun.
Thanks man, I’m in love with it, so no thank you buddy.
I got it and I decided to look for people who play it and I saw a tutorial and I was like i need that
Same here! So much information that I'm watching the same videos over and over!
After 7 attempts, my 8th Colony finally made it past Cycle 100!
I owe a lot of that to what I have learned from watching your tutorials.
Thanks so much!
I'm glad my videos were able to help :) The game is so darn fun.
congrats my dude, that is such a good feeling i know what its like. It took me way longer lol
...so much death...

half the time i end up restarting cuz ive learned more and realise how inefficient everyhing is hahaa
Might as well say that you can edit game settings
A very simple early way to go into a chlorine area to store things is to make sure you dig down into it instead of entering sideways. Since it's heavier than O2 it can't get out then.
It does come out if the pressure is lower outside.
Your voice reminds me of old Ethos Lab lets plays I used to watch. It's very soothing! :D

Thank you for the guides. I just started playing this game again so good timing for me :) In the past, I found that using water air locks gave the dups 'soggy feet' and elevated their stress levels significantly. Thanks again.
Yeah that is a downside. I think the liquid lock is the only easy way to make a perfect seal though.
I also like to make sure that I have enough abyssalite and sieves researched before getting into Lavatories and Sinks so I can create a perpetual source of bathroom water that doesn't leak heat. Anyways, keep up with the great videos!

@@GrindThisGame yeah. Just a bit less organised cuz they arent formally tutorial vids. ESPECIALLY the 100 dupe base. Lol that base is wild

Thanks!

That would probably work. I try to keep all heat sources outside an insulated base and then it becomes very simple.
24:43 I keep seeing that black area box to the far left, what is that? Everything else is viable.

Hi again Grind This Game. @4:58 "Im a bit worried this wall might break" aka building beside water supply, omg omg, lots of stories on that one haha.
I've had a few floods in the past :P
hahah "PAUSE" button, curse, build emergency mode lol. Gotta love the !! priority
Guide: find a chlorine pocket to store food.
Me: looks at my 3 block chlorine pocket.
I'm curious Wintermute.. why do you never use the ceiling light in your bristle blossom farm? I wonder if the ceiling light is better as it allows you to put in more plants.
I think I tried it a while back but preferred the lamp with 4 on each side.
As long as you plant one in every lit tile it will be efficient either way. I usually use ceiling lights too though. Also, i don't think I've ever planted one in anything except a hydrophonic tile. But people can be different. I don't mind.
Still love watching the tutorials! Still helpful! But hoping you’ll have time to make updated ones??? Like the canvas now for art is not easily available! 😭🥺😅 looking forward to more oxygen not included stuff from you!

I should have :)
After a long time the colony can become self sufficient? Or somethings will just end and there it's nothing we can do?
It is possible to get to a state where the colony can last forever. Or at least 1000s of cycles. I haven't tested past 5000 cycles before.
i have no experience with any of the geysers, but it is well known that if you find at least 1 hydrogen geyser and 1 or 2 decent cool steam geysers, you would be fine, tho do keep temperature in mind :D
Love your vids man, you relieve my stress so much :D
Excellent :)
what mod is that for skills
How can I build blank canvas, it says it requires fiber ? Where can I find that? Can't find anything on google about it.
thimble reed plants. the changed paintings in this recent update.
I used your seed and got the same map until I got to the chlorine!
Do you know why
The game and world generation has changed a lot since this video.
Do you happen to have the seed of your world? I’d like to try a playthrough with your seed so I have identical encounters.
Yup check top comment in episode one of this playlist.
I appreciate it :)
I think they changed the worldgen code recently though so I'm not sure it will be identical.
there is a geyser to the left of your long ladder down to the basement.
Possibly a cold one because the area around it was blue.
Wes Anderson Area around random geysers are always around -40'C when you start the map, then this heat will spread out. So there can even be a volcano.
i think the generation of the world puts cold tiles around buried geysers, so that the type of geyser remains hidden, there could be a hot steam geyser below it, you will never know till you try it out.
is it fun to lose a colony to heated steam cause your colony over heats ?
how did you get fiber for the canvas?
Grow thimble reed plants or find them in the wild and harvest them.
Thank you for this series.
how do i get the hats for the different skills >?
once your dupe levels up you can assign a point to a skill in the skills menu. from there you can assign them a hat. you need the jobs board for this.
Grind This Game cheers man. Can I also say, thanks for this series. It’s really good helping me out loads.
Is this seed still works? cause i can't find any chlorine on mine, just abysallite. :(
Should still work.
Which research gives the jobs? I cannot find it.
They removed that jobs board. now you can click top right menu or the portal to give out skill points.
Love your videos
Why not build a wall so you dont have to leave 3 tiles on water pool?
Did you know? You don't need chlorine gas for the food storage, you just need CO2 (expect if it's a new update thing)
Yes and I mention that a few times. I use chlorine to kill any germs.
How do you have so little Carbon Dioxide? I am right alone with you in my cycle and i have so much of it at the bottom
I have some at the bottom. If you pressurize the oxygen near the top the CO2 becomes more pressurized at the bottom. In the next video I think I start destroying it with the carbon skimmer.
I find water airlocks work better than anything else. Everything that you want to get through can and gases can't
Why a lamp not a light?
Both work fine.
Thankyou
Quick question. Are you gonna do another series when the expressive upgrade gets released? Just asking because I enjoy your ONI videos.
Yes I will be.
Wahoo
Bosses: My employees looks stressed. Better put pictures of myself on the wall, that's make them feel better.
Also Bosses: What this? An idle employee? Better assign more jobs to them. I'll make sure they write daily report too, so they know what they're doing every day. I'm sure as hell not gonna read those.

Hi grind!
Hi! :)
Food poisoning everywhere! In my water in my ice in my air. In my refrigerators 😱
They'll survive. Just make sure you get sinks in for the toilets.
always use water to seal gas in the beginning of game, not a good idea to have chlorine leaked into base

Very strange.
i would not recommend this having people IRL go into chlorine gas it is nasty stuff Luckily this is a game
Yeah that would not be nice air.
