Tutorial : Newbie start guide Part 1 : Oxygen not included

Have been doing a lot of late game builds recently. No one has done a detailed early game starting video in a long long time. I'm going to put together a couple so newer players can get a good idea of how to get started. Apologies to the more hardcore players, but I want to help out the newbies for a couple of video's.
In this video we cover, dupe selection, early research, rooms, muckroot, toilets, sinks, mess hall, great hall, barrack, rooms, basic priorities and skills. Also a dozen other things I'm most likely not remembering.

Watching this made me realise just how trash I am at this game.

I appreciate how fast you speak. Nothing like tutorials where you get what you need quickly. I can't even speed you up and understand you, beautiful!

the bathroom water to thimbleweed is something i would have come up with in about 1000 years, absolute brilliance

"If you leave the tutorial and video notifications there, it's a sign you've got problems. Or at least bad mental health."

I feel attacked.

Just picked up the game and put 12 hours in in under 2 days, I feel so overwhelmed but so drawn to the game. This video made me realize I need to lose the fear of expansion, I was always scared of expanding because I figured my oxygen wouldn't stretch to the new areas. Good to learn from a tutorial, thanks man!

Played ONI for a long time now, don't need this tutorial... Watched it anyways because it's John, and John is just fun to watch and listen to.

So I just finished the 3-part newbie series. If you're a newbie, just keep in mind that the way Francis designed the starting base is heavily informed by tons of experience and game knowledge. Please don't feel bad if you think "I've been doing everything so inefficiently." Even the carbon dioxide trick to preserve food for free does not come to mind easily. You eventually get this much early and mid game efficiency as you start to look more and more towards space travel.

playing oni for years, still watching

One thing that might have been worth mentioning, is that you don't _have_ to assign skill points as soon as they become available. There's no penalty whatsoever to having a stack of unused skill points on a dupe, and there is merit to keeping your morale needs low until you absolutely _need_ a new skill.
Also, remember that Research consumes water to perform, so don't go so nuts with research that you completely drain your water supply.

Just started playing again after a year+ break, man this game is everything I need :D

[Vitross]

This is an old video but I have to tell you how much I love your tempo, most tutorials for everything is so insanely slow that I start jumping in the video because Im falling asleep. This is a wonderful pace and if for some reason you cant keep up as a viewer you can just pause or rewatch. Thanks for it.

Put the research station near the portal, 10% faster research at no cost.

[James-ojck]

I appreciate seeing your style of beginning the game. It is indeed different from most of the other players I have seen. I appreciate the play through.

[michaelabeard]

I have almost 300 hours locked into this game, just got to the point where I was patient enough to make it too late game. Now, I wanna learn how to improve my early game with tutorials.
Thank you.

Have enjoyed your videos for over a year now and despite being well past "early game" and have been playing for over 3 years, felt the need to watch these intro and tutorials as both an homage to your well done instruction and to boost your view count.

I remember when i started playing a dupe peed on the floor, and since i did not know you can mop it, i filled all the ground where he peed with pumps and pumped the water away before deconstructing the pumps...

[elismaerasmus]

"And we're back", I love the way he starts a video
Thanks for the guide! and I love the way you design the base with every need in mind.

[selensewar]

I like your videos a lot. Generally, but tutorials especially. They are always simple, thorough and very entertaining. I wish education programs in schools and universities could recognize this style as future and learn how to implement it eventually. Keep up the good work!

I have 540 hours in ONI and I learned like 5 new things in the first 15 minutes of this video! Thank you, you are really good at condensing information and giving good tips.

This tutorial is perfection for getting started. I just needed fast examples of what can be done. I'll be happy if I can remember 50% of this on the first go around.
