: Avoid "Mush Bars" if possible, as they consume too much water and dirt for low nutritional value. Instead, farm Mealwood in the early game and transition to Hatch farming for meat and coal.
: Use an Oxygen Diffuser powered by a Manual Generator (hamster wheel). This converts Algae into breathable oxygen. Oxygen.Not.Included.v526233.rar
Sustainability in Oxygen Not Included is a cycle of resource conversion. : Avoid "Mush Bars" if possible, as they
: Set up a Research Station near your power source. Researching "Basic Farming" and "Power Regulation" should be your first goals. This converts Algae into breathable oxygen
: Start with Manual Generators. Transition to Coal Generators once you have researched "Smart Batteries" to prevent wasting fuel when batteries are full. 3. Critical Threats to Survival
