Oxygen Not Included is a survival simulation video game developed and published by Canadian studio Klei Entertainment. To help establish the colony, the player directs the colonists to perform certain tasks, such as mining for resources, growing food, crafting equipment, researching new technologies, and maintaining their own health through nourishment, rest, and hygiene. The player does not control the colonists directly, and instead provides prioritized instructions, from which the colonists will then follow to the best of their abilities. For example, the player can order a conduit of wire to be built; which will have the colonists collect the materials to make the wire, clear away any materials around the conduit’s path, and then construct the wire. If the colonists cannot access a source of copper for the wire, the task will remain uncompleted as the colonists go to complete other tasks they can do. Colonists have stats that determine how effective they are at certain tasks, and will prioritize tasks that they are best at. These colonists’ skills can be improved over time and practice.
