I can't recommend Francis John's long plays highly enough for a good look at how to be ACTUALLY good at the game.

When people ask me why i play ONI for so many hours at a time, i send them this video. You've captured it so perfectly. There aren't many funny videos for this game either (i love the guides and binge them don't get me wrong) so this is a real treat. Thank you so much
@@connorconquers don't starve is another example of stress made fun, and it's also made by klei so yeah, there's a good chance they did ask themselves this question at some point lol
This is a great video, well edited and very funny! Just to clarify too, making dupe torture chambers to collect pee, vomit and tears is not a mandatory element of ONI... Also appreciate the shout-out even though you didn't want to record more audio (I get that feeling!).

@@cursedgamer2778 I don't think I could top Albino's Noita video. I do LOVE Noita tho. I play it on stream with twitch spawns sometimes (shameless plug)
This is fantastic. My 1000+ hour ONI experience summed up in one video. I loved that you put in so many clips from the animated shorts. It really added to the viewing experience.
I have 1000+ hours on Oxygen Not Included but I still haven't even made it past space yet. I keep dying before or after launching my first rocket and keep running into new problems I have to solve
This video actually really helped me get over my start-over-itis and push into mid-late game. I'm way too perfectionist, wanting long term solutions to every problem before moving on even though a "short term" solution can last at least 100 cycles, long enough to use the advantages conferred by the new expansion to actually do something
I think almost every player runs into something like that at some point. I know I did. It wasn't until my 3rd or 4th base where I just kept pushing past issues and learning to kinda vibe in the chaos that I finally beat the game. Glad you kept at it, because beating this game feels so earned in the end.
@@whydoyouwantthis5711 Because you see your base as a reflection of you, the genius, and the problems that come up as the chaos? Cut yourself some slack on how you cope with the chaos, the Oxygen’s Not even Included! sorry😬
Same here too. The game looks delightful. I need something new, because I play Risk and Tharsis mainly -- when I want a simple game. Usually I play big RPGs like Mass Effect or Skyrim, but I like little easy-brain stuff to do when I don't have time for huge experience. So, yeah, this looks like it might fill that void.
10:50 This mentality is what I need for any sandbox-like game I play. I always want to perfect an idea I have on first pass, so I'll work really hard at it, overcome hurdle after hurdle, but inevitably run into one I can't overcome... and that's it. My project never gets complete, or I shelve the game for something more interesting. Being able to work without perfection is a great way to extend the life of a project and bring some level of completion to it.
Getting past that mental block of "it has to be right," is a massive part of these types of games and in life. I always try to remind myself when faced with any problem be it in a game or in my profession, "If it works and its stupid, it isn't stupid."
"What are vomit and diarrhea if not just future drinkable water?" truly words to live by. ONI has consumed my life once again and I'm glad I came by this brilliant video. You're a psychopath, sir, and a damn entertaining one at that. Subscribed!
A garbage guide needs to be a series. This is a fantastic style of video, very informative, and the humor is on point and very funny. Somehow takes complex topics and breaks them down into digestable, humorous tidbits. I found myself checking out the rest of your channel searching for more videos like this but there aren't any :( Keep up the good work!
This comment section is teaching me that the venn diagram of ONI enjoyers and possible egg devs has a lot more overlap than I thought 👀 That joke is nothing but love, in case it wasn't clear 🌈
Such high quality for just a hundred subs, hope to see more great content like this. the style is overflowing more than the piss on to the water supply
@@connorconquers Hey, awesome video! I know that appeasing youtube algo is very crucial at this channel size, but I would honestly enjoy any topic, as long as you are passionate about it 🙂
@@kmesh9 That's kind of why I took the leap into making more long form content. I was like, "there so many things I like watching just because the person talking about it really seems to care." I'm glad that came through here.
I'm barely 50 hours into ONI (Rookie numbers, I know) but I have to say the editing in this video is delicious. It took my 3rd viewing for me to realize you were foreshadowing 'Break Rule Zero' @ 5:03. The humor is on point, each quip flowed to the next ,and no joke fell flat. Subbed, and looking forward to more of whatever you choose to post!
This was gold, if you keep doing reviews like this you will not be far from your niche in the internet. I thought this was a video by like a bigger channel (no offence) because the editing and jokes were so on point, keep it up man.
Lol, you're not the first person to say that and, trust me, I take it as a huge compliment. I have no idea what I'm gonna do next but I for sure wanna keep going.
Not the transition joke 🤣❤ Also, I was very skeptical about a guide (or even intro) to a game like ONI only being 15 minutes, but you managed to cram a ton of great info in there, while also making a really entertaining video. A+ definitely earned a follow.
Oni is nothing but one big OSHA nightmare 😂 I mean I could see the inspector adding fluids to the system when they see the cruel and unusual conditions my dupes are dealing with.
Thanks so much! I only covered some VERY broad strokes of the game. If you get stuck make sure to check out some of the creators mentioned at the end of the video.
I loved the Sonic analogy, it's one of the most harrowing moments for me in the game. I started playing ONI a little while ago, is quite a journey but really fun.
This video is far beyond anything I'd expect from a channel with literally less than 1000 subs. Whichever direction you decide to take the channel, I'll definitely watch your future stuff.
Luma Plays has a bunch of quick build videos that tend to push the game to its limits. He's a relatively unknown creator that consistently puts out absolute gems. My favorite is his cool steam vent tamer.
I just started playing this game and out of all the tutorials, yours is the most simple one, and it gave me the most usefully starter information in a fun way....thanks and gj
I just stumbled upon this video and while watching it, I was very certain I am watching a video of a "big gaming youtuber I didn't know of so far". Was very surprised when I saw there are less than 5000 subs to this channel. I am big fan of this video! Keep going!
Thank you! I actually had less than 10 subs when I posted this so I've been pretty happy with the response! We all gotta start somewhere, right? The Worst Guide to Noita should be this month or very early March!
I love the editing, the use of clips from the animated shorts is hilarious. Personally I don't like to use some of those weird exploits though. I don't even have infinite liquid storage, but maybe I am the weirdo.
Personally, I don't use many exploits. Mostly just boilers. I just love that you have the option. I've actually never used infinite liquid storage because one of my favorite things is watching my water supply grow. Makes me feel safe lol.
Great video, subscribing. Was surprised to see sub count, quality you'd expect from a much larger channel. Have a friend who've I'd told to check out this game, I'm going to send this as it does a great job explaining what you'd be getting into.
Thank you! It's such a fun game but it can be a hard sell since it's really overwhelming. I hope this put the game's complexity in a fun light so as to make it seem less daunting.
Great video! Editing was amazing. I've yet to make it to the later mid game to end game in ONI but this makes me want to give it another go. Hope to see more!
amazing video. your effort really shows :) i love all the little oni specific jokes and you summed the named ingame mecanics amazingly up. Keep up the great work
the algorithm blessed me with this gem! i dont even play oni but this was so much fun watching! srsly! i wish you all the best luck with your youtube carrier!!!
That was a great video and I really enjoyed it! It definitely mirrors a lot of my playthroughs even though I usually get worn down before I get to space. The complexity and depth of the game is outstanding and I love that the devs allow if not intend for certain mechanics to be broken and exploited, it adds such a great layer to the gameplay and planning without ever feeling like it's unfair.
you know these videos that you come back to days, weeks, months or even years later and you watch them again and wish you could upvote it a million times? this is one of these videos for me
the fact that this is such an entertaining video while also being really informative on the game is mindblowing to me seeing as you have so few subscribers. looking forward to more videos from you!
Damn, I'm shocked you don't have more subs! 0:19 gave me a good laugh! I recently saw someone describe how to play the game as: first build an outhouse. Then just put out fires lol
After finishing this video I was amazed that is only has 100 views and 20 likes, it is high enough quality it felt like something a _much_ bigger channel would make. Nicely done!
I was shocked when I noticed your subscriber count; at first I thought this was 950K, not 950 :) But to be honest with such quality and presentation I won't be surprised if you reach this much (and more). Fingers crossed! As for the game itself I know I should not play it, simply because it looks too damn fun - and I know this would end the same way Dwarf Fortress, Factiorio and Rimworld did. But after watching this I am not sure I will be able to resist such temptation...
Thank you! I had about 45 subs when I posted this so I'm kinda in shock at this point. As for not playing the game, you're right. It's too damn fun. I'm so sorry for the path I've set you down >.>
You had me from "Oxygen Not Included is that moment, but it never stops, and the water is full of pee!" Hilarious and informative video! Absolutely loved it. I'm a big fan of ONI even though I frequently feel like I'm not smart enough to play it well. The levity built into the game and guides like this definitely help me remember to have fun with the challenge. Thanks!
That's why for most games I love I like making mistakes along the way and trying not to stress about optimization. That being said, that's all out the window next video 👀
I have been playing ONI since it was released into early access and this is the best introduction I have ever seen. Thank you - i think you should convert it into a series! ❤
"don't even question why it's 3 AM and you're looking at a spreadsheet titled counterflow heat exchange" life of a chemical engineer in a single sentence
this was hilarious and informative. nicely done man. you should do a guide like this but for rimworld. the amount of conversation mods for that game alone is at least 10 video worth... think about it
It’s 5am and i am in front of a whole design where i calculate how can i make the most efficient sour gas boiler using lava as fuel and no space materials
Everyone always has more to learn when it comes to ONI. Anyone who says they know what they're doing is lying. We're just building toilets and putting out fires until someone ends up in orbit.
Great video! Even though I knew all about everything you talked about, it was still very entertaining. Well edited and perfectly timed humor; this is a good recipe for the channel in my opinion.
Good video! I'm shocked that you only have 4K subscribers. Every once in a while, you stumble across a content creator whose future success is obvious. This is one of them. Keep this up, and I have no doubt that you will become one of the larger channels.
I usually don't leave comments in videos, but this one is just amazing you summed up the game nicely. Loved the editing and voice over. Keep up the great content!
This randomly popped up in my recommended video feed cause I've been watching ONI content lately and I immediately hit subscribe just cause you're funny as hell and I'd like to help your numbers. I'd happily come back for more of these tightly-edited hilarious deep dives into more ONI content or other similar games.
A rare case where a single video earns my like, subscribe and a comment! I really laughed a lot at this. Loved it. Great sense of humour and a great take on a brilliant game. Would love to see more of this type of video for sure.
Loved this video! Been playing a ton of this game recently which is great timing. Really excited to see more content, and hoping you'll make more. Fantastic structure and pacing, as well as quality jokes!
Just commenting because of the plug at the end. Thank you for this wonderful piece of a video. The comedy and writing are superb. The editing is also very well thought out. Video essays are defo your best. I hope we'd see more of your videos. We're also not afraid of watching other style videos! Thank you again!
I see whatever brought me here has also brought another few hundred (or thousand?) new subs, your content is fantastic, really looking forward to seeing you get somewhere with this, please keep at it
Regarding the heat-exchanger-spreadsheet thing: That is definitely my thing, and part of why I've had a hard time getting into ONI is that it feels like it's impossible to succeed without throwing that out in some areas. My main problem was heat -- too much heat would accumulate without me having a way to deal with it, and then it would become impossible to grow crops. When I tried looking for solutions on the internet, all I found were ways to exploit game inaccuracies to delete heat from existence. That was profoundly unsatisfying for me. I tried a few times to race to the surface so that I could radiate heat into space, but I never got close to winning that race.
You can do it without exploiting but exploiting is usually easier. The way I usually deal with it is trying to rush glossy dreckos for plastics so that by the time I build my SPOM I can support a cooling loop with a gold aqua tuner. The cool O2 keeps things under control until you have enough steel to properly cool down your base. I hope that helps. Best of luck if you try again!
@@connorconquers A SPOM isn't really better than heat deletion to me -- it's still using inaccuracies to make problems go away, whereas I want the tools to come up with cool solutions that don't feel exploity. Learning how stuff like a SPOM works is cool in isolation, but when I'm actually playing a game with engineering vibes like ONI, stuff like that becomes distinctly uncool to me, doubly so if it feels like I can't get by in the game without using exploits.
Thank you! I only had ~45 subs when I posted so this has exceeded my wildest expectations lol. I've got an idea for my next video but it's probably a month or two away.
@@thecrazymoon6578 Well this one took roughly 2 months, working on it on/off. Also I got my appendix out halfway through working on it lol. I also work full time as a game developer so I can only do YT in my free time. The script for this didn't take too long but the editing for this took about 20+ hours. I'm trying to improve my workflow but on average 1 hour of work = 20 seconds of video.
@@thecrazymoon6578 Been doing it for a while now. It's pretty great. Frustrating sometimes but I live for seeing people's reactions on release day and knowing people are enjoying something I helped make.
Reading the title, I half expected a video in the vein of Terrible Writing Advice. Hilarious and helpful, despite not being quite what I expected. Consider me interested, I'll stick around and see what else you come up with.

the algorithm blessed me with this gem! i dont even play oni but this was so much fun watching! srsly! i wish you all the best luck with your youtube carrier!!!
Thank you! I hope to make more soon!
That was a great video and I really enjoyed it! It definitely mirrors a lot of my playthroughs even though I usually get worn down before I get to space. The complexity and depth of the game is outstanding and I love that the devs allow if not intend for certain mechanics to be broken and exploited, it adds such a great layer to the gameplay and planning without ever feeling like it's unfair.
I love a game that feels unfair but lets you unfair it right back.
you know these videos that you come back to days, weeks, months or even years later and you watch them again and wish you could upvote it a million times? this is one of these videos for me
the fact that this is such an entertaining video while also being really informative on the game is mindblowing to me seeing as you have so few subscribers. looking forward to more videos from you!
Thank you! Next video is being scripted now!
Damn, I'm shocked you don't have more subs! 0:19 gave me a good laugh! I recently saw someone describe how to play the game as: first build an outhouse. Then just put out fires lol
That really is the jist of the game. Give 'em a bathroom and keep them alive. If you do that long enough someone ends up in space.
6:51 I was not prepared to be called out at this time
❤️
i wasn't really interested in the game but my autoplay queued your video and ngl i enjoyed the content. i hope you have a nice day
After finishing this video I was amazed that is only has 100 views and 20 likes, it is high enough quality it felt like something a _much_ bigger channel would make. Nicely done!
Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it. I really pushed myself with the editing on this one. Glad it came through.
1:09 - omg. Too real, exactly that.
I was surprised when after watching, I realized you had less than 1000 subs. This is amazing content, keep it up!
Thanks, I plan to! I had about 45 subs when I posted this and I just hit 1k! I'm in shock tbh.
4:55 Geysers & meteors would like to introduce themselves. Rocket exhaust too probably
I was shocked when I noticed your subscriber count; at first I thought this was 950K, not 950 :) But to be honest with such quality and presentation I won't be surprised if you reach this much (and more). Fingers crossed!
As for the game itself I know I should not play it, simply because it looks too damn fun - and I know this would end the same way Dwarf Fortress, Factiorio and Rimworld did. But after watching this I am not sure I will be able to resist such temptation...
Thank you! I had about 45 subs when I posted this so I'm kinda in shock at this point. As for not playing the game, you're right. It's too damn fun. I'm so sorry for the path I've set you down >.>
You had me from "Oxygen Not Included is that moment, but it never stops, and the water is full of pee!"
Hilarious and informative video! Absolutely loved it. I'm a big fan of ONI even though I frequently feel like I'm not smart enough to play it well. The levity built into the game and guides like this definitely help me remember to have fun with the challenge. Thanks!
That's why for most games I love I like making mistakes along the way and trying not to stress about optimization.
That being said, that's all out the window next video 👀
Quality video, I got shared this by a friend, who got it recommended to him. Hope the algorithm gods bless you so this gives you some attention :)
Well I posted this at about 45 subs and now I'm almost at 1k so I'd say that's pretty blessed. Also, kinda terrifying lol
I have been playing ONI since it was released into early access and this is the best introduction I have ever seen. Thank you - i think you should convert it into a series! ❤
This is so true. After my first completion, I ALWAYS have an (unnecessary) idea to make another challenging colony, just because I can.
"Yeah, I think I can handle Volcanea now..."
7:08sun shines, birds fly, and brother, the darkness is coming. Start digging
So many solutions in this game are just deeper and deeper pits.
Amazing vid man, definitely deserve some more subs my guy 👍
Thank you! I'm excited to make another!
"don't even question why it's 3 AM and you're looking at a spreadsheet titled counterflow heat exchange"
life of a chemical engineer in a single sentence
this was hilarious and informative. nicely done man.
you should do a guide like this but for rimworld. the amount of conversation mods for that game alone is at least 10 video worth...
think about it
Thanks! Rimworld terrifies me and you're not the first person to suggest this lol. I might have to give it a look >.>
"Rule #1, The Bathrooms Must Flow." had me dying of laughter. If anyone has played this game, you absolutely understand this.
Also, that loop hero track slaps so hard! Pure gold.
Fantastic game. Amazing soundtrack. Cosmic Temperance is just too good.
This is definitely one of the best ONI videos out there. I really like your video style and the Sonic reference fits ONI perfectly
Thanks so much! I almost cut the Sonic intro because it was so hard to find video of Sonic drowning long enough for me to talk over lol.
Excellent video, really enjoyed it! I vote for more video essays
How do you only have 1k subs, this was a beautiful vid. I'm here for it
honestly this vid is amazing lol, sums up the game, well, perfectly ;-; and great editing, somehow funny and informative, u did done good lol
It’s 5am and i am in front of a whole design where i calculate how can i make the most efficient sour gas boiler using lava as fuel and no space materials
Hell yeah 😎
I’ve been playing ONI on and off for a while and all this video has taught me is that I have so much more to learn.
Everyone always has more to learn when it comes to ONI. Anyone who says they know what they're doing is lying. We're just building toilets and putting out fires until someone ends up in orbit.
great video :) , the end reminds me of the ''fun'' things you can do in rimworld aswell
but other Oni streamer to mention is : Echo Ridge Gaming
Thanks! Rimworld is one of those games that looks so daunting to get into but I find utterly fascinating. Same with Factorio.
@@connorconquers its called ''Crack-torio'' for a reason, and you play it for 10 minuts and 3-4 hours have pasted :D
This was a really fun presentation. I'm not sure if it'll help me problem solve, but I'm excited about what's to come.
The linux socks joke killed me and made me share the video. Great job, will relaunch the game again.
Haha, it's my favorite joke in the video. Glad you liked it!
Great video! Even though I knew all about everything you talked about, it was still very entertaining. Well edited and perfectly timed humor; this is a good recipe for the channel in my opinion.
Thanks I'm glad you liked it. I really didn't think the video was going to do this well! Guess I gotta make more...
It should be renamed to Amazon Fulfillment Center Simulator
Nah, I actually want them go to the bathroom. Bezos doesn't understand the value he's missing out on.
Good video! I'm shocked that you only have 4K subscribers. Every once in a while, you stumble across a content creator whose future success is obvious. This is one of them. Keep this up, and I have no doubt that you will become one of the larger channels.
Well, Merry Christmas to you too! Thanks so much for the kind words.
Perfect intro to ONI, super well done! Happy I watched it, this is oddly making me want to play it again.
"This time I'll build my base without any mistakes."
I usually don't leave comments in videos, but this one is just amazing you summed up the game nicely. Loved the editing and voice over. Keep up the great content!
Thanks so much! I'll try to keep it up. I have no idea what I'm gonna do next tho lol
Love the format, keep them coming!
Thanks! I plan to!
This randomly popped up in my recommended video feed cause I've been watching ONI content lately and I immediately hit subscribe just cause you're funny as hell and I'd like to help your numbers. I'd happily come back for more of these tightly-edited hilarious deep dives into more ONI content or other similar games.
Thank you! I have no idea what I'm gonna cover next but I'm glad people seem to be enjoying... whatever this was hahaha.
That was fucking hilarious, What a great intro to ONI.
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it.
A rare case where a single video earns my like, subscribe and a comment! I really laughed a lot at this. Loved it. Great sense of humour and a great take on a brilliant game. Would love to see more of this type of video for sure.
Well, I've got one for Darkest Dungeon and another in the works. Thanks so much for the kind words!
You've been blessed by the algorithm, may numerous views and success come your way 😊
Loved this video! Been playing a ton of this game recently which is great timing. Really excited to see more content, and hoping you'll make more.
Fantastic structure and pacing, as well as quality jokes!
thought this was both informative and enjoyable, nice vid
Just commenting because of the plug at the end. Thank you for this wonderful piece of a video. The comedy and writing are superb. The editing is also very well thought out.
Video essays are defo your best. I hope we'd see more of your videos. We're also not afraid of watching other style videos! Thank you again!
Thanks so much! The editing was WAY more than I expected going in but I loved writing the script for this. I'll for sure be doing more in the future.
that programming socks joke was👌made me subscribe on the spot.
They're usually better coders than me so they're clearly on the right track.
I see whatever brought me here has also brought another few hundred (or thousand?) new subs, your content is fantastic, really looking forward to seeing you get somewhere with this, please keep at it
Thank you! It's been a crazy month for the channel. I've got two scripts in the works 👍
An editing and comedy masterpiece
My ego getting more over-pressurized than my dupe's living quarters tonight.
5:05 I am literally watching this right after adding one machinery dupe for this exact purpose XD
Bro, this is just awesome, now I have ultimate tool to make people play this game/ run away in fear. Thanks
By downplaying this games complexities and overloading the cute visuals we can trap more players for this community. Just like a CO2 hotel.
The best elevator pitch for ONI I've heard. "Oxygen Not Included is that moment, but it never stops and the water is full of pee." 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Loved this. Very accurate and i share your love of dupe torture.
I don't actually love torturing them... I'm just gald to know I have the option. Unless it's Meep. Meep deserves it.
@@connorconquers Meep just had it coming!
Regarding the heat-exchanger-spreadsheet thing: That is definitely my thing, and part of why I've had a hard time getting into ONI is that it feels like it's impossible to succeed without throwing that out in some areas. My main problem was heat -- too much heat would accumulate without me having a way to deal with it, and then it would become impossible to grow crops. When I tried looking for solutions on the internet, all I found were ways to exploit game inaccuracies to delete heat from existence. That was profoundly unsatisfying for me. I tried a few times to race to the surface so that I could radiate heat into space, but I never got close to winning that race.
You can do it without exploiting but exploiting is usually easier. The way I usually deal with it is trying to rush glossy dreckos for plastics so that by the time I build my SPOM I can support a cooling loop with a gold aqua tuner. The cool O2 keeps things under control until you have enough steel to properly cool down your base. I hope that helps. Best of luck if you try again!
@@connorconquers A SPOM isn't really better than heat deletion to me -- it's still using inaccuracies to make problems go away, whereas I want the tools to come up with cool solutions that don't feel exploity. Learning how stuff like a SPOM works is cool in isolation, but when I'm actually playing a game with engineering vibes like ONI, stuff like that becomes distinctly uncool to me, doubly so if it feels like I can't get by in the game without using exploits.
Great production value for so few subs, hope this gets the views it deserves
I was honestly going to be happy if this broke 1k views after a couple weeks. Needless to say I'm pretty happy about how this is turning out :)
6:55 LOL
That joke was subtle, you almost got it past me!
More like "An ESSENTIAL guide to ONI", love this!
I'm startled how many people have commented that this is actually a good introduction to the game lol
hey, thanks for including that sonic labyrinth zone bit. i'm still traumatized by what i consider to be the most stressful music i ever heard.
I agree, it's up there with the Wario "Hurry Up" music and "The Death That I Deservioli" from PizzaTower
This video is amazing! It's unbelievable that you have so little subscribers. Keep making great content, I shall await it 🙃
Thank you! I only had ~45 subs when I posted so this has exceeded my wildest expectations lol. I've got an idea for my next video but it's probably a month or two away.
@@connorconquers A Month? why so long?
@@thecrazymoon6578 Well this one took roughly 2 months, working on it on/off. Also I got my appendix out halfway through working on it lol. I also work full time as a game developer so I can only do YT in my free time. The script for this didn't take too long but the editing for this took about 20+ hours. I'm trying to improve my workflow but on average 1 hour of work = 20 seconds of video.
@@connorconquers Oh wow, A busy boy I see. Also, how is being a game dev?
@@thecrazymoon6578 Been doing it for a while now. It's pretty great. Frustrating sometimes but I live for seeing people's reactions on release day and knowing people are enjoying something I helped make.
this video is informative and hilarious at the same time! well done pal! hope you produce more of these!
This is such a clusterfuck of a game I'm glad people are making amusing videos about it so I know with many examples why I do NOT want to play.
😂
Reading the title, I half expected a video in the vein of Terrible Writing Advice.
Hilarious and helpful, despite not being quite what I expected. Consider me interested, I'll stick around and see what else you come up with.
