Bathrooms and Decor | Ultimate Beginner's Guide | Ep 7 | ONI 

Nearing 400 oni hours and I still find these videos helpful.

Picked up ONI on Steam the other day, holy cow your videos, and the community posts in the comments, are amazing. Thanks!

This is the best tutorial for ONI bar none. There's a couple of things that have changed since it was made.Your trick to store the polluted water in the tank no longer works unless you turn the door 90 degrees (if you want the dupes to go through it occasionally).

This is the best tutorial series for a game I've ever seen.

I had NEVER gotten to 100 cycles(today) until I started watching your videos. Thank you. It still feels like I need a degree to understand half the stuff in the game, but your videos help SOOOOOOO MUCH!

In my bathroom design I shift the whole washroom 2 tiles to the side, so the one tile wide fragment of Natural Reserve room can fit, giving +6 morale bonus when passing to toilets. The rest of the Nature Reserve room is above with some wild pips and wild planted Thimble Reed to feed them.

This was the perfect place to stick the oxygen mask tutorial (digging for reed fiber). In fact, as far as I'm concerned, it is really the only time the oxygen mask is useful and is rarely used. I hope Klei comes up with more uses for the crafting table. Maybe something like shovels or paint brushes or items required to maximize the output of the masterwork process for each branch in the skill tree. anything to make the poor lonely crafting table somewhat useful.

Oh boy, this means its almost time for a beginner SPOM

Really loving this series!

35:15 I use the Fluid Shipping mod for putting liquid bottles back into pipes. It has a nice building for this. I been using it for so long I forgot it's a mod

Lately I've been keeping a ration box or two set to priority 1 for muckroot and other non-perishables. I'll even keep it next to the fridges so everything is in the same place

32:00 A good explanation, however it is also worth noting for consideration that if the water sieve has no filtration material or loses power, water will bypass it and go to the overflow, in your example, the thimble reed, for this reason it can be smart to put a storage tank infront of the seiv and overflow from there instead. This will mitigate the rare condition where you lose all your water because you ran out of sand/regolith/power for a long period of time. Naturally this can be done on the inverse, storing clean water as a buffer. There are other more advanced ways of using bridges to do the same thing and save space, but as this is a beginners guide, we will ignore those.

I personally don't use the infinite loop for bathrooms just personal preference makes no sense to me how washing hands with germy water gets them clean lol. But in the great words of Echo you do you boo😃

Back in the days when I bought the game, it was common to see players cleaning and decontaminating their polluted water coming from the bathroom in a chlorine chamber. But the reed and the close loop is so much more efficient!

Great Progression guideline like always!

The thing with slime is that if you don't dig it, then no problem. You can with a little care harvest a lot from slime biomes, including gold ore, a lot of water to purify and thimble reed seeds from the buried objects. Which are after all very visible. There's always a spot with sand and sandstone. You entered the biome right by one. You're usually almost guaranteed to find a thimble reed seed there. Players should just take care with building ladders and tiles next to slime too. The slimelung germs tend to seep into such buildings, which will generate purifying errands, and it can easily become a major time sink for dupes with tidying priority. Also. One of my favourite topics.. "The Janitor". You can put a dispenser without the sweep only task, but behind a door that only "The Janitor" can pass through. On the other hand the dropoff point can be behind another gate that only "The Janitor" doesn't have access to pass through. EZ peasy super super squeezy.

36:49 another idea is to build the filter System on the same level as the bathroom, so then they were handling polluted dirt/water, they need to pass through the sinks anyway Edit: 37:30 there you said it

Another great tutorial. Thanks and looking forward to the next one.

Interesting note: wash rooms can be used to flush down heat

Good morning Echo! Love how you go into detail with everything, I feel like I always pick up something new. Keep up the great work!

It's super fun following along with my own little colony to this series!

You are doing an expert level job of explaining your methods, I'm learning new tips every episode! The idea to use your excess polluted water for thimble reed is genius!! This point right here is where I can confidently get to, but I'm not as familiar with the process and systems of getting into the next biomes, so I'm eager to see how you handle that! I'd even be curious to see a series on how you handle entry into each biome and using the resources to your advantage, i.e. what you do to tame the critters, ect. Happy gaming!

thank you so much for these videos, hopefully we get more detailing more things in this game to help us get better and understand things better.

I've been playing oni forr years and you still taught me some neat tricks!

Just found your beginners guide series and I have to say, these are not just the best tutorial videos I have found on ONI, but by far the best tutorial videos I have seen about any game on RU-vid. Excellent content and excellent presentation. Keep up the good work man.

In theory, could you do the entire bathroom set up with just the polluted water and pump going to the sieve and then filling all the lines with water? So that you never have to pump water out of your main source of water at all? Love your videos!

Love your videos. These really help even in the later game

You could also use a thimble reed in a regular farm tile to collect all the polluted water bottles, which would take longer but not use any power. You would also have to avoid pitcher pumps in polluted water, but who does that anyway.

Thanks that close loop waste water systems a great idea

I'm not new to watching this game but i am very inexperience and bad at playing and im watching this playthrough and doing every step and ive gotten the furthest ive ever gotten in one playthrough with this its so helpful, HOWEVER im trying to follow it well, as i dont know any other way, but my natural Thimble reed was underwater in a cool steam vent, so as you can imagine my excursion to try and gather them didnt go well, first try was just digging to it, grabbing it and running, 2 dupes died. reload previous save, i tried using a thermo aquatuner and separate power grid to cool it down, Aquatuner immediately overheated and 2 dupes died. THIRD TRY flooded my base many dupes died, Fourth try? i let the process be a bit slower, my pod blueprint came in and it was a thimble reed seed package, i am absolutely raging lmao. srsly though this series is insane and im having so much fun being able to play knowing what im doing. All love brother

2:55 I'm surprised you don't uncheck slime or talk about other items that can off gas like bleachstone as well for example 🤔 Those things I usually put in my water storage lol

awesome tutorial

Thank you for your videos! Helped me quite a lot.

Echo, you're the ONI GOAT. Thanks for these

EP 7 LETS GO, last one before going to sleep.

amazing video!

Like the bathroom solution immensely. I kinda feel that I am cheating not working this all out by myself but I still have to remember what you did once I start a playthrough so maybe I'm just being smart by watching your videos?

Best tutorial out there. Just my opinion.

"Project's almost over so Catalina is gonna be fine" as the Pei is literally just standing underwater holding their breath and being idle :P Oh Pei's, whatever will we do with you :)

just found you, loving the vids!

Just FYI - I'm not sure if this is from an update, but CO2 doesn't kill Slimelung per the Dictionary, as of April 2024.

Learning a lot from your gameplay still! :) Could you please make a series for the "next phase" after beginner? That's often when I restart my game. Hahaha!

Great series, am enjoying it and learning a lot. I am having an issue with the hydroponics farm though. I've set it up the same as yours, with the polluted water running into the thimbleweed, but the plant is just sitting there staring back at me with no growth happening. I can see the polluted water flowing to the plant, but am still getting the red message after a couple of cycle.

I'm playing this map along with the tutorials. I've been unlucky with newdupes and still running on 3. I've realised that you just dont need the pump in the water tank to start the bathrooms. Just use the polluted water bottles and empty them into the trough by the sieve.

Hey man - thank you for your efforts here and on your VODs. Really appreciate it. Question - why use *two* Automatic Dispensers for infinite storage, rather than one?

Hi Eco! Great series! Isn’t the water filtered full of germs?

I like sticking my nonperishable foods in an unpowered refrigerator in the kitchen next to my mess hall

I made algae bushes early today improve my oxygen. But they produce bottles of polluted water. And the bottles polite the air. Where to dump that polluted water?

Here, have a comment. YAAAAAY

I have a question! So I used to use the water seive in the past to have the loop for my bathrooms, but I kept having sick dupes. I then opted for the liquid reservoir to store it until i made a sanatizing room. So does washing hands with dirty clean water get rid of the food poisoning germs?

I've always heard you might as well use insulated pipes for the bathrooms, as pee is warm. I guess for the water itself its unnecessary, but I'd rather do it all anyways

So because of the net water gain from lavatories could you send that to a polluted water tank and then sieve it? Maybe not worth it just for the small water gain but just suggesting as a biased polluted tank user. Realistically I don’t know if it makes real worlds sense that many more kilos of polluted water are produced from the clean water input but who knows. Needless to say my clean water tank has over 1,000,000 germs per tile 😂 but no sicknesses yet.

Dumb question about building the tank, when you build a tile on the H2O tile, does it push the H2O out of the way or does it void it with the tile?

Does adding the polluted dirt to your water source not pollute the water? I know i accidentally let a tiny bit of polluted water into mine, and germs got out of hand.

Is there a way to run both my Carbon Skimmer AND my bathrooms off the same Water Sieve?

Doesn’t putting the showers between the toilets and sink mean you could get 5 dups in the room meaning you run a higher chance of them bypassing the in use sinks and moving germs through the base?

Would you build an Oxygen Suit Station so your Dupes don't get sick from the polluted air when they're going down and digging?

14:03 - uh, what the hell are these minions eating that they're... expelling... 15 POUNDS per bathroom trip??

35:30 it seems super stupid not to be able to use the bottles to directly water your plants... lol

At 34:40, why wouldn't you Lock the door instead of choosing Auto and removing both ways?

Why do you say insulated pipes for the bathroom were a mistake? You want them to not transfer heat into the base. I always do this and works much better.

Producing 6kg of waste with each bathroom use zounds ... Wow....

Why does the unclaimed gift icon annoy me so much?

FIRST! What do I win?

What wrangle button? What does that even mean? Was it in a previous episode? Wtf?

These videos might be the worst I've ever seen. I mean these are a special kind of bad, and I'll explain why. First off, you forgot to add th- lol jk. Your guide is one of the best I've seen in history. Subscribed.

plumbing is wrong for fps
