Useful for quick spatial sketches of room layouts and "pipe spaghetti" management.

Standardize room heights at 4 tiles high . This allows Duplicants to reach the ceiling for construction and maintenance without extra scaffolding. oxygen not included

When creating your blueprint, prioritize these core "early-to-mid-game" modules: Useful for quick spatial sketches of room layouts

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 Critical Math for Your Draft Drafting a layout

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

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

A Self-Powered Oxygen Machine (SPOM) typically uses Electrolyzers to split water into oxygen and hydrogen. Draft a design that uses a "gas-sorting" dome: hydrogen rises to the top to power a Hydrogen Generator , while oxygen is cooled and pumped to your base.
