The greatest tutorials ever spend their time explaining WHY, rather than just showing you the finished product. The first quarter of this video has helped me so much already

The small 1 kg or less polluted water packets running between the water tanks in that final 10 electrolyzers monstruosity: "I'm gonna ruin these generators whole carrier"

i was having problems really understanding spoms and this video came at the perfect time. i love how thorough you are never stop what u r doing. ty

Best SPOM tutorial. Building different SPOMs starting with the simplest one helps a lot.

[ladasodaexplains]

I don't know how you did it, but I watched the entire 37 minutes of content without pause because it was just so good. I've honestly never watched an informative YouTube video that is this long without pausing before. This is impressive.

Currently I have 132 hours in oni.

Thank you for the slow, methodical explanations!
I'm bad at the whole math and logistics side of things in this game, even though its one of my favorites. Thank you so much for saying it in a way I can understand.

Was able to get this up and running in my base next to my water plant. Also ran the cooling through an ice biome, currently working on getting some domestic Wheezewort in there to help maintain temp. Thank you so much!

Literally what I just needed and posted a min ago by my favorite oni creator, huge

THANK YOU !!!
I discovered ONI one month ago, and soon enough I've been overheating with all the features. I feel your channel as a gift to enter the real game, understanding the mechanics, the maths, and making my own experiments. You take the time to explain everything, especially what we need to pay attention to, with a touch of ONI humor I think. I might have to watch them several times to get it, but each time I'm able to absorb more info. Thank you so much !

opened youtube with the intention of looking up a SPOM tutorial, and boom, there this was on my recommended page. thank you for the timely assistance! :D

Something I did with my SPOM is I built it close enough to a cold zone and ran my output pipes through that. I had to tinker with it to get it just right, because I was initially getting oxygen at my base at a chilly three degrees Fahrenheit, but once I found the sweet spot I was getting perfectly temped O2 at my base.

as always Echo to the rescue with another ONI tutorial, exceptional as always, even if there was debris in one of the builds LOL

[TheAngryForest]

Good morning Echo! Thanks for another helpful video, and another appearance from Buffer Knight!

[zenraged]

This man goes deep! Love the video, exactly the info I needed!

[chetranqui]

Thanks for taking the time to understand this system so well and share that understanding so clearly! This current run might very well be my first ever with a proper Rodriguez. Appreciate it. o7

[nolan]

I'll just note that input water can generally be used to keep the whole system outputting gasses at reasonable temps. If you snake the input water pipes around the pumps and electrolyzers (even with normal pipes at lower throughputs) you can generally keep the setup and output gasses at temps only moderately higher than the input water temp. Thus, cold input water can equal cold output oxygen.

"So if you're just looking for a basic system to run that you can build fast, yeah, still don't build this one" that killed me

[frankpliszko]

Intresting thing to keep in mind is that in the base version of the game using the neural vaccilator can give you a trait called deep divers lungs which reduces the oxygen intake, basically doubling the max number of dupes these systems can support. And the neural vaccilator can be recharged late game!

[MrKalidascopeEyes]

Running radiant pipes in your spom will convert the temp to the water feed temp. Not necessarily needed but makes the electrolyzer eat the heat for you. Takes the same space as the same spom just a little more resources. Works great with a cool slush/brine/saltwater > refinery> spom poof 15° o2

Since I am 600 hours into ONI now, I figured it was time to watch a SPOM tutorial finally. Putting my new skills to the test tonight! Thanks for another fun and informative video! :)
