Oxygen Not Included

Oxygen Not Included: Space Colony Simulation Game

Oxygen Not Included is a space-colony simulation game where you manage dupes and help them build an outpost on an asteroid. You must gather resources, build oxygen production and power systems, farm food, and research advanced technologies to keep your colony alive.

What is Oxygen Not Included?

Oxygen Not Included is a popular colony simulation and management game developed and published by Klei Entertainment. In the game, the player is tasked with building and maintaining a self-sustaining space colony on an asteroid.

The key gameplay elements involve gathering resources like metals, farming food for sustenance, and most critically - setting up oxygen production systems to allow the colonists (called dupes) to breathe and survive. Dupes have different skills and traits that affect their ability to perform tasks. As the colony grows, the player has to manage the increasing demand for oxygen, food, power and expand into new areas.

Key things the player has to deal with include learning to build air-tight environments, filtering carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, harnessing renewable power through natural gas, solar and wind energy, dealing with heat and germs spreading through the colony, and researching advanced technologies for long-term sustainability.

There is no definite end or win condition to the game - the challenge comes from seeing how large, self-sufficient and orderly a colony you can build and maintain given the asteroid's limited resources. The fun emergent stories from how your colony, dupes and systems interact make Oxygen Not Included an engrossing and rewarding management simulation game.
