Oxygen Not Included - Tutorial Bites - Oxygen

I’ve heard you say it a couple times now, you’re wrong about there being a penalty to mining oxylite. Natural oxylite tiles off gas at 50%. Yes, if you dig the tile the debris will be half the mass of the tile, but debris off gasses at 100%. So whether you dig it up or leave it in place, you will only ever get 50% of the mass of an oxylite tile off gassed as oxygen gas.

My half rodrigues does not work unless there's outside power input and I don't know why, I did everything exactly like you did
Edit: it does work but barely, the battery's power keeps running out

this is such a useful tutorial, been following your tutorials for sometime and they really improved my dups lives! Thank you so much!

My 2 cents: 1) I usually add hydrogen loop for hydrogens, and route excess hydrogen to separate grid. This makes sure oxygen is always powered and you consume all excess hydrogen without waste. 2) I never built OR gate in this game as you can simply merge the wires directly and it will work the same ...

i hate the balance around the hidrogen generator, it should break even in oxigen consumption and never be power positive

Late comment, so hopefully you're still looking at these, but is the smart battery on the half Rodriquez not redundant? The atmo sensors would make sure if there is hydrogen to be used, it will be used, so there will never be a point when the smart battery will need to turn the hydrogen generators on. At least that's how my brain wrapped around it; I could be wrong.

Pdirt form arbor trees are also a good option for sustainable oxygen production. I realize that this video is a year old and that back then we had fewer ways to sustainable get filtration medium, but even without filtration medium, you can clean polluted oxygen by cooling it down into a liquid and then heating it back up.

I really like your videos - clear and concise. I'm using the Half Rodriguez from your video, including the filter gate automation. I'm still seeing some small packets of hydrogen coming from one of the two oxygen output lines. I've had the SPOM running from six dupes and now have 11, and the hydrogen still shows up. Any thoughts on how I should tweak things to eliminate the hydrogen from the output line?

Can you hook up an anti entropy thermo nullifier to the h2 output instead of one or two of the generators or would this mess with the gas ratios in the generator?

the diging out oxylite loses oxygen is a mith

I have personally gotten a lot of use from the algae terrariums. Once you have a sieve, they use very little water, eliminate a tiny amount of co2, and can produce a good supply of oxygen. Just don't lock them in airtight areas, they will not stop producing regardless of pressure, so I had one chamber that popped the eardrums of every dupe in the base when someone opened that door with 24kg per tile of oxygen on the other side.

They are also best used with lights for even more oxygen.

Are they ideal? Probably not. But they are useful in the right circumstances.

I don't understand how your full Rodriguez doesn't constantly overload the machines without transformers. It was my understanding that both Electolyzers and Pumps have a max safe wattage of 1000? Or am I missing something?

Really, you deserve an Oscar for this! I finally understand that Rodriguez thing. And it worked! I just made it and it worked! I can't believe it! A small space for such a good production of oxygen. Amazing. I reduced the space for oxygen production by 70%. I used so much space on my layout it's even shameful! Thank you so much for explaining this as simply as you did for us mere mortals. LOL! Great job! Klei MUST hire you!

In my planetoid i found a geyser that has an average output of 1200g/s of brine at -10°C. I would like to use a desalinator and use it to run a spom but I don't know if the geyser will give me enough water or if the water might be too cold to be used for oxygen production, what do you think?

Thanks for the video!

Hey, I just started playing ONI again after I failed like 5 colonies back in 2019. I found your channel really really helpful and enjoy watching every tutorial even when already knowing about it or not planning to build it because they are so informative. But one thing struck my mind with all the 6 oxygen pumps designs:

Wouldn't these designs get inefficient at some point since they produce 4x888mg/s oxygen (3552) but are only able to pump 3000mg/s out, resulting in overpressure for the electrolyzers. Is it better to build 8 oxygen pumps (7.1 needed technically) or would this just be overkill?
Also do I need to build a seperate ventilation line for each pair of pumps? I haven't found a way yet to merge these pumps together without the oxygen jamming at some point in time.

Dispite the name of the game being oxygen not included, i don't think i have ever lost a base to low oxygen.

Built the half Rodriguez and it worked like a charm. Thanks🙂

well there is a problem, how you can cool the room, it gets more heat over time , using gold as you said it is not a good fix because it costy

Just to clarify: do SPOMs self-cool by dumping their produced heat into the hydrogen, and then eliminating it in the hydrogen generators? I’ve been having trouble figuring out exactly how that works in these machines and my SPOM attempts (not Rodriguez machines, admittedly) always seem to overheat themselves- even being entirely built with gold amalgam -without an active cooling loop in place.

the easiest way to start a spom that i found is to just add a gas filter to Hydrogen pipe and deconstruct it when it's done . it saves a lot of effort and dupe work which is very valuable at the start of game .

Two tips about the spom. First, if your water source is cool enough you can snake radiant pipes around the oxygen pumps at the bottom to keep the oxygen cooler.

Second, when you are first starting up the spom (and dealing with the mixture of gases), it is much easier to just create and off shoot pipe from the one top hydrogen pump and pump everything out (some hydrogen will get out with everything else). Then, once all the other gases have cleared out and the oxygen and hydrogen pressures have become stable, then connect the hydrogen pump up to the hydrogen generators. It is similar to what you said in the video, but this way you do not have to repair the hydrogen generators, and you can create a fully enclosed spom and never have to break it open.

Preety good, especially since I am trying to experiment with setups, BUT YOU FORGOT THE HYDRA!

Hi, just discovered your channel, really nice and clear tutorials !
Could you do a petroleum boiler one ?
cheers, kurg

I agree with everything except the slickster thing... i ALWAYS pump my co2 into my oil biome with my slickster babies they eat it up and give free oil! it's so much better than spacing or washing it!

For the SPOM, can you have it so that the system never mixes wrong gases without automation, ie. by having it run forever with infinite storage to prevent pipe backups? I was planning on just putting excess hydrogen/oxygen into infinite storages if the generators don't burn enough or the vents are overpressured.

Thank you! I have been wondering how to build a Rodriguez properly

About the filtergates; I don't use them in my designs, especially since i learned that a green signal on an automation wire overwrites any red signal, so I feel an OR gate is not necessary. Can you explain a bit more about why you use the filtergate?

you copied me dude xd

This is excellent!

Thank you so much for the SPOM design (:
