Useful for quick spatial sketches of room layouts and "pipe spaghetti" management.
Draft a "Main Spine" using Heavi-Watt Wire to connect all generators. Use Transformers to step down the power to standard wire for individual rooms to prevent circuit overloads and wire damage.
Use 25x25 pixel cells to represent the game's tile grid. You can color-code cells for different materials or gases. oxygen not included
Use logic gates (AND, OR, NOT) to automate mundane tasks. For example, draft a circuit that turns off coal generators when batteries are full to save fuel. Planning Tools
When creating your blueprint, prioritize these core "early-to-mid-game" modules: Useful for quick spatial sketches of room layouts
To ensure your base is sustainable, factor these rates into your plan: Oxygen Not Included - Tutorial Bites - Rooms
Drafting a layout or "paper" plan for Oxygen Not Included (ONI) is a common strategy to manage its high complexity. Because the game requires managing thermodynamic systems, gas ratios, and power grids simultaneously, players often use external tools like or graph paper to design systems before building them in-game. Essential Systems to Draft Use 25x25 pixel cells to represent the game's tile grid
If you prefer in-game planning, the Blueprints mod on Steam allows you to "copy and paste" successful designs from one area to another. Critical Math for Your Draft
