3 years later and only tutorials I can find that actually explains things properly. Thank you!

[miguelpisfil]

No stupid thumbnails, chill voice, entertaining through the entire duration of the video, top notch explanations, useful tips, TWO fucking hours video. Hands down underrated. Take my subscription sir.

Finally after many many blood sacrifices and this YouTube video later, my wires are no longer overloaded.

this is the comprehensive power tutorial that i've been needing for months. thank you so much for making this. your presentation and demonstrations are super clear and easy to understand. i really like that you go over the "basic" stuff that experienced players tend to skip over. you're filling a critical knowledge gap in the oni community. thank you.

By far the best ONI tutorial out there. I appreciate all the work that went into this video. Like the other person said, I think you should release your vids Joe Rogan style - ie - one massive video for people who are nuts, then cut up the segments and release all of them. Hopefully pull in more ad revenue. Keep up the great work.

Out of all the people i have watched over the years since this game has been out, you are by far, in my opinion the most understandable one in explaining the processes of multiple different ways to do things.
1. You dont talk too fast!
2. You explain in pretty good detail the steps that you need to go through with all these videos you put out.
3. You dont show just 10 seconds of something and then skip your video ahead to something else.
4. I REALLY REALLY appreciate the FAHRENHEIT over Celcius, since i dont understand the Celcius side of things when explaining temperatures.
5. The fact that you take the time to explain the differences in all the different building types and there conductivity ext.... that is a major help.
And also the fact that i am not annoyed with your voice LOL... I enjoy the long videos they may be longer then most and have allot of info involved in them, but they are in my opinion the BEST tutorials on You Tube for Oxygen Not Included!
Thank you again for all you do, if i could i would pay you for your time lol 2020 has been a rough year, but thank you for keeping us sane.

I watch your tutorials with 1.5x speed. Your clear voice, pronunciation and logical presentation make it easy.

Really love ur mega tutorial series and it has been a great help to my game. I am a beginner and man this game is just so difficult and there is so much things to do.

[stressley]

massively underrated channel :o. Great tutorial :D

[grayface]

You are the freaking best! I pulled out a notepad and have been taking notes. 1. Hatches produce coal!?! WHAT! second, the efficiency tips are gold... I always either run my power too hot and kill everyone, or I run out of power and starve. This is legit. THANK YOU

For those wondering about power loads on wires:

The normal wire can carry 1000 watts, meaning that in combination, only 1000 watts can be consumed on it. If you hook up three Manuel generators(1200 watts in total) with normal wire to structures that in total need less than 1k watts, nothing will brake and those 200 extra watts will be used to charge batteries which don’t count as consuming. If, however you hook those three generators to structures that in total *consume* 1.2 k watts, the load will be too great and things will start to break.

Oh a good tip with debug mode is you can press ctrl+U to speed up time as fast as the game can handle which could be really useful for the times you're forced to wait.

I've recently gotten into ONI and not only are your series (like hardest start) interesting but ALL your tutorials i've watched are INSANELY helpful. Literally nothing about these videos i'd change and ty for all the help!

[chetranqui]

I really appreciate the detailed overview of power in Oxygen Not Included. It's been my greatest challenge with the game so far. I think that's more due to my lack of appreciation for automation and sticking too much with Tier 1 tech..

If you haven't already, individual tutorials for each specific kind of power would be tight. I'll definitely be searching your channel for them, or coming back to this video when I encounter a potential source to exploit. Well done, man. Thanks for the insight!

[gerardaslisauskas]

Oh my god I just found a gold mine here! I was searching so much for a professional and in depth guide on stuff like this. Gotta love you man...

Hi there!
I JUST got ONI and the DLC on sale and am heavily experimenting with different build options. I have already watched several other videos from your channel (as well as others) and will be sticking to only your channel since the content is always educational and communicated clearly. I also prefer to fully understand all my options for my base, rather than regurgitating someone else's build and not knowing why I'm doing random things a specific way.
I rarely post comments but I wanted to thank you for taking the time to explain why the different methods are more efficient by giving examples and building demonstrations; and not just declaring it (you don't just teach the how but also the why). When I watch your content I know I'll be better understanding the fundamentals of the game versus only absorbing shortcuts on what to duplicate into my game.
Thank you again for taking the time to create all this amazing content! I don't mind that you decided to take a break from making content; what you have already provided is more than I could ask. Take care!

[shaqtaku]

I'm really impressed with how clearly you explain everything. You deserve a lot more subscribers

[nox]

I stumbled upon your channel via the YouTube algorithm a maybe a week or so ago and I cannot thank you enough for your video tutorial series. you make everything easy to understand and have improved my games Thanks again <3

[statiiic]

Thank you for putting this together! They've helped me dramatically with getting my head around this game. You are the best!

Once I got the gist of things, one thing I was struggling with was the power system. This guide has helped a ton, very straight forward and to the point. Thanks!!
