Today’s game is Oxygen not Included. I hate a long day today and wanted something simplish to relax. That’s this.

I usually don’t get to get very far in this because the after mentioned simpleness can sometimes backfire and actually make it fairly hard. But despite that this I usually have a great time in this game.

One of the first things I set out to do on this save was make a water pump. Easy enough. I hit a roadblock though where I need to dig for it due to the nearest thing of water being underground.

This resulted in the second issue: There’s no oxygen down there. That means my workers will have to make repeat trips down there to dig, build the ladder, and climb up.

Once I got that out of the way, I started on the second part of my go to plan for this game: Tunneling to the top of the map for Solar Panels.

Admittedly this is probably where all my playthroughs fall apart. As all my little guys end up dying before I get there. And I’m not sure how to make enough oxygen and food to keep them alive. I’ll get there soon one day. I’m determined.

Anyways. I just wanted to make a brief detour and break that I thought would be a nice break. I would have actually done Jedi Survivor but I was about to crash and fall asleep for the first time in a long while, so this is a much appreciated break.

Fair enough lol. I was on the verge of passing out while writing that so maybe not the most accurate choice of words. I very much had only the beginning of the game on my mind

That's how they get ya. The early game is "oh cute little dupes just need some food and wash their hands!" then by the end you're calculating heat transfer through various materials to build the ideal geothermal power plant.
