Sounds like me with Hades and Cities Skylines (among many others).

Yes that was also me with Hades. In fact I need to get back to Hades since Iām finally making progress. But now this game is here to ruin things.

Itās still early days but weāll see if it springs to life a new category
For like 35 minutes. Didnāt really get into it then. But after reading some comments here I decided to try it out. Still donāt know what the hell is going on but at least I survived 10 cycles.

Oh I messed up. Iāve noticed it seems like you need to build rooms, but all my rooms were in different places. Plus I have a river ofā¦uhhā¦āpollluted waterā flowing from my base and it polluted my whole water supply. Plus what the hell do you do with the waste water from toilets? The games name is misleading, it should be Pee-water Definitely Included.

And see that happened to me and the pee and poo was just to much it overwhelmed me
peer pressureā¦ to be sure

Day 36 on the frozen wasteland. Slowly running out of food and oxygen. Iāve never had to heat a base up on purpose before, this is weird.

I was half expecting that, Iām still trying to heat up my farms. I might have rushed up to 10 dupes too quickly, but theyāre surviving and most times the alternatives were pretty poor choices 
Iām liking this game more and more, though, and I really appreciate being able to sit down for 10-15 minutes, do something useful in my colony, and then quit when real world responsibilities call.

I made a really shitty heat exchanger to try heat my first farm. It seems the more I dig out the cold my base becomes?

Seems to be that way. Whatever material your base is exposed to will transfer heat, and if itās metal ore, it will exchange heat faster. Seems like you actually have to insulate from the cold. A lot of the stuff outside the starting area is at -20C.
So far I have a coal generator, a couple kilns firing ceramic, an electrolyser and a rock crusher trying to heat things up, not too effective though.
Going to have to use the 300C obsidian area I found in some way. Iām thinking of running water to it, boiling it, and then using the 90C water that condenses to pump through my base. Easier said than done.
Steam is extremely good at transferring heat all by itself, but itās a bitch to manage and everything inevitably fills with a layer of water. Iām rather just going pipe the hot water I think.

Or move your base? 
Or, more realistically, vent the steam to a condensation room nearer to your base. There you can then have both steam and water handling facilities, and automate to switch between the two depending on the heating requirements.

Thatās a decent idea. Only problem is moving the steam around. Moving through natural flow wonāt work because it will condense very quickly. Pumping the steam might require steel pumps to withstand the heat and tons of insulated ceramic pipes, and I have neither.
This is what I like most about ONI, solving these niche problems.

Okay, so I have a base with 5 dupes, a few plants for food, a good water supply and good power supply. Research is going well. And now I have no idea what to do further. I guess scale up.
Also I never knew this game is so in-depth and complex. Holy shit there are many MANY systems to think about. Itās awesome!!

My base so far. Everytime my dupes poop it heats my plants via radiant piping. (I did say it was a shitty heat exchanger)

I also feel like playing this now but I got to finish Shadowrun Hong Kong first.
