Beginner's Gas Guide Tutorial - Oxygen Not Included

This is a beginner's gas guide tutorial for Oyxgen Not Included. I go over the 6 main gasses:

- oxygen
- polluted oxygen
- carbon dioxide (CO2)
- hydrogen
- chlorine
- natural gas

This is part of a playlist with many detailed guides:

I review the properties of the gasses like hydrogen is light and floats to the top left and carbon dioxide is the heaviest and sinks to the bottom right.

I talk about the common sources and sinks for the gasses as well as review specific heat capacity.

I show the tools of managing gasses like the gas pump, gas pipe, gas bridge, mini gas pump, gas vent, high pressure gas vent, gas filter, gas valve, gas shutoff valve.

The only thing I think I might mention is the CO2 is also a "sterile" gas. Meaning early game if you create a pit for it and stick your food box down there, you don't need to worry about food going bad and spreading germs. Everything in the box will be free from rot. I'm brand new to the game, had it for less than 3 days, but I found that is a simple way to avoid food going bad in the first few cycles of the game.

These gasses look so pretty
I love the artstyle of this game

[maddies]

I never realized how complicated this game was. It makes it more intimidating for a casual gamer like me. I guess I'll put the settings on super easy cause I suck. Also your voice is soothing

This is literary liquid science. My god it's good that I was studying that. xD

[BrunoMussoi]

To easily see hydrogen, just press f4 (thermal difference overlay). Because it has good conductivity, it will be blue while the other gases will be gray, when hot it is red. It is a good way to see hydrogen pockets floating in your base.

I don't get how natural gas gets in my colony when I never even found the natural gas geyser in the first place.
19:10 Never mind. Found the source. And yes. Those types of duplicants are a pain in the butt. No pun intended ;)

This is a good tutorial for the next one I would suggest a advanced tutorial explaining all the geysers wheezewarts nullifyers neural vacilators and mabey even the animals too.

As a new player to the game, this guide really helped to understand more about how the gasses travel around and how to deal with them. Thanks for the awesome video.

Love all your guides for this game. Just bought it recently and they have helped a lot. Thank you

"Good to avoid steam, " but how do we get games then? lol

also insulators stop heat from travelling

[jamielawrence]

Love the videos! You've really helped me master the early game, however i am kind of at a loss as to how to expand outside of the "bubble" as you call it. Could you make a mid/late game tutorial once you got all your core systems in place and are ready to invade the slime/hazardous regions of the map? Thanks, and keep the videos coming!

13 kg of CO2 at what I assume is roughly 1m3?

That's so dense you can lean on it.

[WilliamLanceHancock]

Wow I just gave up on my idea of starting over to make the perfect colony. Keeping all these details straight in my head is a nightmare.

Extremely helpful, Add this to your Beginner Series Playlist

0:05 "quick tutorial"
Yeah...

[mikekohary]

Dude, your ONI guides are helping me so much, thanks for making them. What a fascinatingly complex game!

[alexanderthegreat]

Great guide. Ive watched a good amount of other tutorials but nobody mentioned that gases have a direction they like to go besides up or down.

[damienschneider]

This is exactly what I've spent 2 days trying to find. Thanks for the vid, subbed for more.

Great guide!
I bought this game ages ago but i went through 10 cycles and it was so overwhelming i stopped lol
But i recently start picking it up again and it is really fun failing over and over again and learning through your mistakes
I think the longest i have lasted was 88 cycles ? My base was good but i wanted it to be better and i restarted
Now thats all i do, build and then restart again cause theres always something you can do better

[replynator]

Man i sure wish I payed more attention in lessons
