Standardize room heights at 4 tiles high . This allows Duplicants to reach the ceiling for construction and maintenance without extra scaffolding.
When creating your blueprint, prioritize these core "early-to-mid-game" modules:
A Self-Powered Oxygen Machine (SPOM) typically uses Electrolyzers to split water into oxygen and hydrogen. Draft a design that uses a "gas-sorting" dome: hydrogen rises to the top to power a Hydrogen Generator , while oxygen is cooled and pumped to your base. oxygen not included
Use logic gates (AND, OR, NOT) to automate mundane tasks. For example, draft a circuit that turns off coal generators when batteries are full to save fuel. Planning Tools
Draft a "Main Spine" using Heavi-Watt Wire to connect all generators. Use Transformers to step down the power to standard wire for individual rooms to prevent circuit overloads and wire damage. Standardize room heights at 4 tiles high
If you prefer in-game planning, the Blueprints mod on Steam allows you to "copy and paste" successful designs from one area to another. Critical Math for Your Draft
Useful for quick spatial sketches of room layouts and "pipe spaghetti" management. Draft a design that uses a "gas-sorting" dome:
To ensure your base is sustainable, factor these rates into your plan: Oxygen Not Included - Tutorial Bites - Rooms
