Learn how to find and manage artifacts in Oxygen Not Included. This guide covers essential tips for artifact hunting, including location strategies and preservation techniques.

This guide provides basic tips for new players of Oxygen Not Included, focusing on starting a base, managing temperature, food, dupes, and power. It emphasizes using overlays for planning, understanding material properties for construction, and strategic food production.

Key areas covered:

• Temperature Management: Utilizing the temperature overlay, understanding material heat properties (granite, abyssalite, igneous rock), and keeping heat sources away from sensitive areas like greenhouses.
• Food Production: Starting with Mealwood, transitioning to Bristle Blossoms (Gristle Berries), and considering Mushrooms. Tips include using CO2-filled greenhouses or ice biomes to prevent food spoilage.
• Duplicant Management: Recommending a limit of 3-6 dupes to avoid resource strain. Importance of building rooms (barracks, latrines) for morale and stress management.
• Base Building: Using overlays for planning and understanding the impact of different materials on decor and thermal properties.
