@@mtriciak33 100% this. We are curious beings. So inherently, all natural sciences as well as maths, the language of measuring, and calculating aspects of those sciences are fun. It’s the way they are taught that sucks.
I’ve been playing ONI for a few days now and your “tutorial bites” have been the most useful thing I’ve found anywhere. You explain so clearly. As a non-engineer/non-techie I now feel able to do automation. Thank you!!
One of the best videos for learning Oxygen Not Included Automation. Clearly explained and provides several tips that help players be creative on their own.
I think the hardest part of automation for me was learning that, not everything is necessary or possible within the game, sometimes a simple method does more than 5 specific signals lol
I believe Fungus also has good physics/engeneering knowledge, which helps a lot in explaining what can be counter intuitive. What I prefere about this series is how concise the information is given, Fungus doesn't drown you in information which makes it simpler to apprehend. Anyways, come watch the streams :D
This tutorial is not only super useful, but also ASMR. Sitting here totally relaxed and also learning, now that's what I call true craftmanship :) Thank you!
GCFungus - *thank you!!* for putting this video together (and for that matter, entire playlist series capturing how to approach topics of ONI- Oxygen Not Inlcuded). The lack of in-game guidance for using different products to grow the Colony was off-putting, but this is sparking a lot of options! And for all the new comers - *Save Your Game Every Few Minutes!!! You never know when you need to roll back after a catastrophic event*
i would love if you make a ribbon tutorial , it might not be as useful but its a mechanic i want to learn and implement in bases even just for fun , love these bits : clear and concise.
It has some limited uses, but I typically don't find myself using it. I will cover it in the advanced automation tutorial bite when I get there, which I hope won't be too long!
Thank you for making this video the way you did. Using words to define the logic gates is exactly something I use to use back in the 80's when I wrote DOS programs and games, so now these logic gates make sense. Thanks !!
i'm a computer science student, i literally did a test about logic gates the other week, imagine my surprise when i found out that those things are in ONI too
I am fairly decent at using aotumation so i was going to watch this just for fun, but i actually learnd something new! i never knew that there are practical applecations to the OR gate
another excellent video. already know everything here but watched the whole thing anyway haha also to note for new players, there's a difference between a PIPE sensor and environment element sensor (thermal/type). One detects what's inside a pipe, (gas or liquid) anothee just detects whats around the sensor The snesor for inside pipes can be found on the respective pipe window, and the outside one can be found on the automation window
That will be in the next one but I hope it won't disappoint. I don't believe that they have a practical use the vast majority of the time, so I'll cover the mechanics and to my best to come up with useful examples. I think the two cases they might be useful is in long automation wire runs (that I rarely use) or potentially simplifying areas with many signals.
You didnt' mention, but I like how all these gates are actually very visual: you can clearly see the animation of the AND signal as you need both input green, and the OR that you need just one. Another little detail why I love this game.
Is there any chance you can do a sort of novice/amateur run through of the game? You do such a good job with the tutorial bites, it would be really appreciated! :)
Thanks for the feedback. Beginner content is definitely in my ideas list, the problem is there are many others too! I do hope to get around to it, just not sure when...
I didn’t know this existed. I got on sandbox and just finished a 0-9 automatic segment display. Kinda chunky in this game but it’ll auto loop back to 0 after 2 seconds using a filter. I had to do some experimenting since I don’t have randomizers to work with to make a familiar frame switch design. But my terraria calculator days are over. This was fun to make.
everything in this video I can understand fairly well. 1 step further, the memory toggle still confuses me alot. I still can't figure out a single use case with it (aside from copying tutorial)
Your "Worded Logic Statements" are actually called Conditional Statements and are mostly used in Geometry. It follows the exact same format (If ... Then ...) but just a different name
i struggled with a set up with 4 bit wires with 4 fridges, the goal was to send a red signal to the cooking machines when ALL fridges where full, i really wish in the next part there will be an example like this pls
Assuming your fridges are close to each other then the ribbon would be unnecessary. Think of the worded logic here: IF((fridge1 AND fridge2 AND fridge3 AND fridge4) are NOT full) THEN (enable cooking machines). So hopefully that guides you to AND all 4 fridge outputs together, then pass it through a NOT gate. As this output is a single wire, I don't think you need a ribbon here.
Thank you for the tutorial it has helped me out allot. However now i am wondering how I would set up an automation to turn off radiation lamps when dupes get near them, and turn them back on again, when dups are safe. Any pointers?
Yep, so think about the worded logic statement. You want to turn the lamp on IF there is NOT a dupe nearby. So you need a duplicate motion sensor, connected into a NOT gate and then into the lamp.
Hello, I have a problem that I cannot solve: I want to stop pumping when a tank of liquid is full. I know how to stop when an open reservoir is full, but not when a tank is full. Is this possible? I mean, I could put an element sensor in front of the tank on a pipe and check if water is running through, but the pump would then have a stop&go when liquid runs through the pipe. any ideas? i've been thinking about this for an hour.
When you say reservoir, you mean the liquid reservoir building right? It already has inbuilt automation output that will send red if above the high threshold and works like a smart battery.
Thank you for answering...I've solved It already after I've watched your automation videos again. My thoughts we're just wrong... I've put a liquid sensor between pump and liquid tank to tell the Automation system what it hast to detect and of course it send constantly a red light, because it wasn't in liquid by itself 😅 I didn't understand that the liquid tank already sends the right red/green signal on its own when its full/empty.
