"Why are you sleeping in the no-oxygen-area?" Well, to be fair, it must be easier to fall asleep in there

RCE playing ONI: YES!!!! RCE not having the faintest idea how to play: "Oh dear god poor dupes!"

Omg, RCE playing ONI is a combination I didn't know I needed. PLEASE MAKE THIS A SERIES!!!!!!!

Love that he's scratching his head over the outhouse meter while hovering over it while the tooltip clearly shows what it's tracking.

RCE casually placing the washbasin on the opposite side from where dupes enter and exit the outhouse, therefore resulting in them never washing their hands

Useful tidbits if you keep playing: * Research is your friend. * Batteries are your friend * Owing to quirks of the physics, gases spread much more easily through spaces two or preferably three cells wide. * That security door can be opened by any duplicant (from the outside) but you have to send them specifically on an errand to do it with the "submit bioscan" button * Most gases other than hydrogen are heavier than oxygen * If you put a storage bin underwater, things that would offgas (oxylite, bleach stone, polluted dirt) won't while kept in there * Toilet stink isn't a thing directly but the polluted dirt your dupes pull out when they empty it will release polluted oxygen

The ammounts of views and likes this series would garner, it would be a shame if it was patreon exclusive.

Having watched the video I have some minor, hopefully helpful tips: • skills points lets you give your dupes hats depending on the skill. • Adding a battery to your electricity system allows for the running of machines without a duplicate constantly having to treadmill • the duplicants have to run past the washbasin to wash their hands, so for them to not eat their food with pee on their hands you need to place it on the other side of your outhouse • rooms make duplicants happy, looking at the room overlay legend will tell you what each one needs and does. • If you are unsure about a gas or material the little book icon has tons of info on each thing in the game. • Getting to many duplicants through the printing pod will get you into trouble quick. And most importantly, they will always find creative ways to get themselves killed. Do not let your eye of them. I am terribly disappointed this will not be a main channel series, I can't afford patreon right now :(

I WISHED FOR YOU TO PLAY THIS FOR YEARS

This is literally one of the best games in existence. Its super complex and theres a ton to learn.. please please make this a series. So many of us would watch it.

the day has finally come fellow engineers, Matt's playing ONI and everything is finally alright

This made me remember when i started in this game, im now watching this while thinking "oh yes, that painful learning curve dying for every single thing until you realize how to solve the problem" Good luck on your ONI journey. Also that single sandstone tile at 19:13 saved your water supply lol

Hey awesome I'm thrilled you're playing ONI Here's a list of tips. Don't get discouraged if your first five or more colonies die horribly. What is going to kill you -running out of food -running out of oxygen -too much carbon dioxide -not enough power -running out of water -overheating

Can't believe you finally played this game. It's one of my all time favourites

I played this game for hundreds of hours, only made it to the first few asteroids. It's a very underrated game imo

More please! Make it a series like Timberborners please.

So cute to see a total beginner play ONI ❤ I wish I could go back and discover this game again.

Far and away the shortest and best "Storytime with Matt" :)

BEEN wanting him forever to play this game. I love it. It also has wheels of shame. I hope he makes it a long term series!!!

Finally.... I'm addicted to this game. So good!... Looking forward to RCE shenanigans

I have been playing this game for soo long! I will watch any video you make on this. Late game engineering is ridiculous

Early and even mid game is pretty fun, but the late game is pretty hard. Having geysers that don't work all the time and certain resources being so rare you have to mine MASSIVE areas. I usually get all the water and plumbing fine but getting power generation is pretty heard and getting to the surface is crazy hard no matter what difficulty you run. You start running out of water and have to prosses the dirty water. The geysers will turn off, the oil pockets will dry up... You have to keep digging more and more areas and it gets harder and harder. Travel times are harsh. Just so you know air does not flow well through ladders but the replicants can step over one block so leave a gap on either side of the ladders and run the ladders straight up and down. I usually have one ladder on each side of where I work. Also certain things work better if they fit the "room" requirements. This means like a bedroom needs to have a door and be so big and have a bed and you can add plants, decorative trim, carpeting and wall covers, paintings... to make them happy. You want one bed per bedroom too. I tend to do a door to a bathroom with a sink, toilet, and shower attached to each bedroom. Put the main work areas near by the bedrooms so they do not have to travel far. Storage lets you clean up stuff and also makes them happy. A good kitchen later on will help. You will find the farther you go the more electricity you will need. You will also find you need oil... lots of oil. You need it for plastics and likely for fuel. Fire polls next to the ladders will speed up travel and will better ladders. There are higher technologies that will automate stuff but I never managed to reach that level.

Finally! Please make this a series~ Been a while since I saw someone I follow play this game!

Make this a series, I love seeing people play this blind. Such a great game.

He is going to be mind-blown when he finaly sees the research three :)

I hope this becomes a series and Not just a one-off

PLEASE make this a series!! I can't wait to see you unlock all the mid-endgame stuff!

I used to love this game. Then it became stressful when I realized something very important that isn't apparent when you first start this game. The game is a race against the clock to figure out how to make yourself self sustaining because resources are limited. Not allowing the wildlife to die and using them to help supplement your resources goes a long way but doing this adds complexity to your bases build. Being lucky enough to get a good variety of geysers is a huge help also. And you need to go online to look up the clever contraptions others have made to make their setups automated. It's disheartening to build everything out not knowing this and seeing your base slowly fill with co2 and unable to fix it. And then finding out that the backstory is that this asteroid you're on is actually a chunk of the Earth that was blown up by the company that made that cloning machine. And that clones are clones of employees that get cloned without their memories. It's like dang I just ruined humanities last chance at survival. It's been years since I played so it's probably chanced since then.

Last time he named something "everything is going to be fine", over 60 beavers died...

Absolutely loved you don't this without researching. Witnessing your thought process as you discover and learn is great! I'm a 2000 hour Andy in ONI but still love seeing how others solve the same problems. Early playthroughs often end in disaster, but are some of the most enriching.

this whole episode i was like OMG mat place a battery

I love watching you see this stuff for the first time and cringing at the simple mistakes is hilarious. However, wash basin needs to be on the left of the outhouse so the dupes can actually use it (dupes follow the path of least resistance) and you need a battery to store charge.

We want a series!

Yes !!! Please please make a series!

Been waiting for this one for a long time! Hoping you'll reconsider it being only on patreon, as I'm sure I'm not the only one who has searched through your playlists looking for an ONI series. This is the kind of game that makes me subscribe to youtubers and then cross over into their video backlog. It's also the kind of game I would look for after finding a new youtuber from some other game and finishing their playlist on that game. Regardless, I'm happy you're playing it and I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!

Please make a series of this to see how good of a engineer you are and show you can beat it with engineering and not architecting. I would love it

If only there was some way to store power so the shaming wheel wouldn't have to be used overnight to produce oxygen...

oh! a newb plays ONI! i needed that refreshing feeling that i am better at something. hope for a full series. you can take it to dome insane engineering ideas. hope to see how you handle the different ideas and problems. hope that you do nor give up on that and do not use (too much) help from the web.

I really hope you make this a complete series! I absolutely love this game

A few remarks if you want to continue: - your colonists are called "duplicants". Short: "dupes" - Your dupes won't use the washbasin, unless they have to go past it in arrow direction. So you need to put the toilets on the far side of the basins. And make sure you have 1 sink per toilet - you are using primitve toilets with composters. Plumbing requires some research - you will need several toilets. Like at least 2 for the start, but more as you get more dupes. Less if you make them avoid conflicting shedules - Poluted Water gasses off Poluted Oxygen. While it can be breathed, it gives a stress penalty and carries germs

I think that was the best story time I've heard, short and sweet

Love this game! So glad Matt got onto it finally. Thank you so much for the effort you put into all these videos! Your one of the greatest on this platform!

Regarding priorities, having everything on 9 is no different to having everything on 5. Dupes don't care about the number, just about which one is highest.

FINALLY! You need to play this more often.

I have played this game a few times by now, and from what I can see... they're gonna die. 1. you don't have a battery, meaning your "dupes" only produce electricity when awake, meaning your oxygen production dies at night. 2. you are getting way too many "dupes", way too fast, slow down, take the 4th option until you're ready for your first "Dupe". 3. while the Algae plant gets worse in late game (I can't remember if that's still the case), it's very good in the beginning, or at bottom of your base, as CO2 is heavier than Oxygen... Carbon + 2 Oxygen = heavier than Oxygen. so these plants are good at the bottom of your base as they are basically trees. 4. you are expanding way too fast, again slow down. you need the ressources, but it's fine as long as you don't overextend. 5. you placed your Wash Basin on the wrong side of your outhouse, none of your "dupes" are going to wash their hands unless they walk past it, which they would only do if there's task there at current moment. 6. the skills are for profession, the hats though cosmetic are cool enough. 7. I've forgotten the rest.

As someone that's been pretty into oni for quite awhile - I want to let you know that your first colony will always be doomed. There are so many mechanics in the game to balance and prioritize that most players will see their first colonies starting to starve because of temperature or lack of water The point being DONT GIVE UP, this game is super rewarding once you get the hang of it and it's very fun! If you need help learning the mechanics - there is a KZfaqr named magnet who does oni tutorial videos and even deep dives on mechanics.

I've seen other play this game but watching Matt play it is just who I've been waiting to see. Really hope this is a series! And CO2 is heavier than oxygen, easiest way to prove it is how balloons you just blow up manually sink if you let go of them.

Got back into this game a couple days ago and have been looking for good videos, glad your doing it.

I've been waiting for so long for him to play this, just never started the "X days of asking" train MAKE THIS A SERIES PLEASE, that's coming from all of us -this concludes my Ted alk

I hope RCE takes advice seriously. ONI has a bit of a learning curve to deal with. I play with mods to reduce micromanaging, but when I don't bother with the magical boxes of liquid, gas, and electricity creation, I take resource generation and management seriously. And if it hasn't been said, you can dig four tiles high, and duplicants aren't that bright. They will trap themselves and requiring swift rescue. Generators are great, but you need batteries or you'll have a duplicant working on generating it all the time. This means you have less workers. Prioritize batteries to make sure everything can be powered without constantly needing someone to make it possible to do everything. Oxyferns are very useful if you have plenty of carbon dioxide. Make an area just for CO2 to end up, plant several Oxyferns there, and your oxygen situation will be a bit more manageable. Best of all, the ferns don't need constant watering. Learn the hotkeys so you don't have to manually tell them to deconstruct everything. Just press the button for it and highlight the things you want deconstructed. Build several toilets. I think a good amount is one toilet per two duplicants. Also, the toilets should have a basin pointing the way you want them to exit. You can have an arrow telling them when to use it. If they head either way, have one on either side of the bathroom area. Rooms are a thing. There's a list of what kinds of rooms you can make. A lavatory is a good one to have, as it boosts morale. You need a couple of toilets, a wash basin, a *maximum* of 64 tiles, and a door leading in and out. Morale is important. Too little morale, and the dupes get stressed. So keep morale high. Make trash cans for polluted water and polluted dirt, as it makes polluted oxygen, which isn't as heavy as CO2. Be on the lookout for a steam geyser. Once you can harness them, you can make them generate as much water as you could ever use. Build a pump and you can have water sent wherever you need it. Lastly, power cables can be overloaded. This damages them. Don't try to focus power onto a single grid. Make different sections as necessary, and try not to overload them. The heavier wires are good, but unless you install a mod, you can't run heavy wire through nonspecialized tiles. Shame this won't be on KZfaq. Unless the episodes on Patreom are free, I can't afford to watch them.😭 I really like this game (even if I'm not very good at it just yet), and Markiplier stopped making videos for it.

I have about 2000 hours in this game so watching you play is a unique mix of fun and unending frustration

This needs to be a 100 episode series. Please tell me this gets more love than Timberborne.

Eyyy, I remember Kuyacoy from the very first Timberborn series! It's so cool to see a Patreon I recognize again lol. 14:54 I almost choked on milk there. As someone who loves playing pretty much all the games you play, I gotta say, this is the most stressful one I've ever played XD it's so easy to do things wrong, and it's nearly impossible to make things perfect. I'm excited to see if you can figure it all out, because goodness knows I need some help

Omg this needs to be a series

so many KZfaqrs are coming back to this game lately

I LOVE Oni. This game is amazing. They put so much work into this over the years. Brothgar did some amazing KZfaq videos I hope you binge those at your leisure it really needs all the exposure it can get. This game is perfect

definetly would want to see more of this on the channel

Oxigens (O2) Molekule mas is 32grams/mol while Carbon-Dioxides (CO2) molekule mas is 48grams/mol. So this causes it to stay lower than Oxigen.

As someone who has 1k+ hours on ONI I am ecstatic to watch RCE play it. This is one of the best designed games there is on steam right now. Loving it.

This game is very complex and fun, you could easily record a whole series with it.

Man. Watching him very meticulously build the latrine super high to make it smell better only to have it result in his entire base flooded with piss was hilarious. I'm sure we've all done similar in our runs. He was just lucky it didn't pollute his water supply.

I am mildly surprised that RCE didn't immediately remember that Carbon dioxide was heavier but then it probably has been a bit since he did his engineering.

This is a really great game, but by god it is a time sink Now what i really wonder is if you really never played it and are horribly clueless, or have played it an deliberately made everything atrocious on purpose. (tbh if it's you first / second play, most of your mistakes are very fair.) here's a short list of very basic things to know that will still let you discover the game : - outhouses take a long time to clean, you will need easily 2-3 of them until you get the proper toilets - place the sink on the way to and from the toilets, that's just how it works. - Oxygen generators do not delete CO2, unless you keep expanding eventually you will build up gaz pressure that will block 02 generators - get a battery, that will avoid having a dupe running the hamster wheel all day long - Eventually you first big colony-killing problem will be waste heat from machines, when you go beyond an ambiant 30°C you plants will start dying - you can mess all you want with construction orders priority, but be very, VERY careful with maintenance/operating/supplying priorities

As someone who recently got back into playing oni, and is studying to be a civil engineer, this makes me so happy. I’m using the excuse that it’s helping me apply what I’ve learned in my environmental class to justify playing it as much as I am 😂

I honestly didn’t know how badly I needed to see you play this until you did!

I visualized the blue-gas rising above red-gas, & deduced creating red-gas-pools would improve air-conditions; for every tall man-tunnel, an underneath 1-tile-high gas-sewer-tunnel would let convection disperse red-gas below allowing blue-air to readily fill work-spaces.

This is one of the BEST games ever.

PLEASE MAKE THIS A SERIES THAT IS FREE TO WATCH HERE ON YT!

As an American I first heard algae pronounced “al-gee” in the movie Keeping Mum. I loved it then and I love it now 😂

I was absolutely shocked to find that you never played ONI. Would have suggested it, but I thought you were plenty bombarded with suggestions already. Nice to see you found it anyway!

pro tip for the toilet situation. you can fit 4 toilets and 4 wash basins in a room and get a morale bonus for having a room designated as a toilet. Then you can use the Scehduling tool to divide all your dupes into different shifts which have different times for bathroom breaks, and as long as there's no more than 4 dupes per shift then the one bathroom of 4 toilets will be sufficient for all the dupes you'll ever need

(paused at 4:00 to comment this) Small thing you might have figured out already: you don't need to manually dig out an area before placing a building there - any space that needs to be occupied by a building will be automatically excavated by your dupes.

Can't wait until he "accidentally" discovers slime lung when he goes for the massive pockets of algae in the swamps

Love this game. Hope you finish a series. A toilet per Dupes or a schedule where their down time doesn't overlap and sink on the way out. Keep up the good work, love watching your vids

Ive been thinking of playing this last few days.. and here we go.. great engineer playing a great game!!

Omg last time I remember watching a play through of this game, it was Markiplier, and went absolutely mental with thermodynamics, cleanliness, and air-locks to segment noxious gasses. Idk if RCE knows what he's getting into here 😅

This is great! I hope you're going to do a sequence of ONI. Skylines is great and all but I think you've done all that you needed to do with it. Let's have more Oxygen!

I've been waiting for this video to happen for YEARS

please keep going with this series, ONI is a pretty fun game

algae-tiles might be able process sewage, native plants might be left-in-place to resource for fruits pods & seeds without interruption, interacting with their drops, instead of taking the plants down to replant and maintain at a personal cost.

Yess, I’ve been waiting for you to play this. Such a great base builder game

i need this to be a series

Id love to see a long series on this one!

I predict pipe spaghetti in future episodes.

A tip for toilets and sinks, I would either add them as a 1 sink and toilet for every 1 dupe, though later on you could get away with a couple less than needed with a proper layout.

This is one of my favorite games. Make this a series please!!

Crazy how I was thinking about this other day. And I’m playing it now. Couldn’t be happier

So sweet. You've mastered all engineering games or there and missed oni? Love seeing you stumble and learn

How is this the first time Matt has played Oxygen Not Included? This game was practically made for engineers like Matt.

FINALLY!!!!! I have been dying for you to play this game! It's one of the greatest games ever. OMG, please make this a regular thing.

OHH GOD YESSS, RCE please make Oxygen Not Included a series.

Honestly surprised you're just now playing this. One of my favorite base managers/survival games.

Yeah, make a series of this. Alot can be done with this game

I love this game so much. I'm terrible at it, but I love it. They found an excuse to build a fairly complex fluid simulation engine and kind of taped a game onto it.

okay your editor just earned a raise. Using an Adventures in Babysitting clip? HELL YES!

You have achieved: 1st year architecture student level. But it was hilarious to watch and, to be honest, I've never got that far with ONI, unlike Rimworld et al. Once you apply some engineering I'm sure you'll be amazing.

Please please please play sooooooo much more of this!!! My fav game ever and I think RCE will love this!!!

FINALLY!!! OMG I waited for this game for years!!! This is awesome. Poor dupes...

So many good memories and traumas coming back seeing ONI.

oh boi I hope this is a loooooong series
