About Oxygen Not Included

✦ AI summary

Manage every system of an underground asteroid colony—from oxygen generation and temperature control to power grids and plumbing—while keeping your quirky colonists alive, fed, and mentally stable. A deep, challenging management sim where thermodynamics, resource scarcity, and colonist psychology create emergent chaos that demands constant problem-solving and creative recycling solutions.

In the space-colony simulation game Oxygen Not Included you’ll find that scarcities of oxygen, warmth and sustenance are constant threats to your colony's survival. Guide colonists through the perils of subterranean asteroid living and watch as their population grows until they're not simply surviving, but thriving...

Just make sure you don't forget to breathe.

Build Extensive Bases and Discover What it Takes to Survive:


Everything in your space colony is under your control, from excavation and resource allocation right down to plumbing and power systems. Resources will begin depleting with your first breath, however, so be sure to dig fast if you want to live.

It’s Mind Over Matter with Stress Simulations:


Keep the psychological impact of survival at bay with fun leisure activities, great accommodations and even better food for your colony. Duplicants each have different and potentially destructive ways of reacting to stress, so be sure to always keep them happy. Whatever the cost.

Avoid Boiling with Thermodynamics:


Temperature control is a constant concern in space; too cold and you'll freeze, too hot and you'll fry. Keep tabs on ambient environmental temperatures and your colony's heat production to maintain a nice, cozy atmosphere for your colonists.

Enhance Efficiency through Complex Gas and Liquid Simulations:


Create interlocking pipe systems to swiftly deliver fuel and liquid to critical areas of your base. Plan well and be rewarded as your colony transforms into an imperishable, well-oiled machine.

Take Charge with Power Grid Simulations:


Choose from a multitude of power sources including coal, hydrogen, natural gas or just plain old elbow grease. Manage power runoff, circuit overloads and meltdowns to keep your colony running smoothly.

Always Keep Yourself Breathing:


Enter the Oxygen Overlay and watch air moving through your base in real time. Monitor carbon dioxide accumulation and oversee oxygen generation processes to mold your colony into a veritable deep-space oasis.

Waste Nothing through Extreme Recycling:


Make use of every last resource for a base that truly exemplifies efficiency. Recycle waste into precious fuel, process unbreathable gas into air or harness the natural bodily processes of wild creatures for food. If you’re clever, you might even be able to run a base off colonist farts.

Explore Diverse, Procedurally Generated New Worlds:


Summon new worlds with a push of a button. Experience tons of untamed space rocks, then suffocate to death in them!

I really tried to like this game. It could have been nice. I like base building stuff and this title gets mentioned again and again. Sadly I failed at correctly connecting x different kinds of wires and pipes and also missed my 0% air pollution goal in every playthrough. I want to unwind. Not get myself frustrated. So yeah.... Probably me but this was not the game for me.

Every sim game has an unrealistic model of reality, but this game has it in a way that I find quite disappointing, probably because this game acts as if it is thermodynamically aware, but then violates conservation of energy in stupidly obvious ways. Other sim games allow you play the game following the logic of reality but this game requires your to break common sense and follow the stupid loopholes it has to survive.

This game is constantly challenging, but never outright stressful. There is always something to do, always a problem to solve. Great for a chill day after work. After your colony gets large, you will need a fairly chunky PC. This game is very well optimized, but is is constantly simulating so may elements, hardware demands are inevitable. As long as you don't cram 200 shine bugs into a single room though, most mid-grade gaming PCs should have a fine time.
