What's the point to play this game

If your colony is meant be doomed.
You don't have resource supply like water / oxygen from teleport gate, and this rock is so tiny that can't even support a basic stable biosphere / H&O recycle so you wont run out of oxygen or water or both of them. And temperture rises too cook all of your colonists

Me sitting here at cycle 600. Yep it's definitely the game at fault.

Yet your colony is still meant to be doomed.

Looks fine to me...

Every playthrough ends the same way... Dupes delivering pointless amounts of water to buildings until they suffocate/starve. This game just frustrates me at times

[Xuhybrid]

You're not pumping your water?

[KushBerryJake]

Of course, the actual building of all the gas and liquid facilities is what I like, but the retarded dupes go for the tiniest pools of water...

Keep running until all your colonists die, not by age
Again, your colony is meant to be doomed no matter what

What OP meant was this game has no real purpose or objective.

In response for OP:
This game just came out of Alpha entering the state of Early Access like yesterday, even in store page info the dev already point out all future plans of ONI including finding out the lore behind it to make the game feel more alive. But we gotta wait for that up until atleast next year?

You ever played their other games? Namely Don't Starve? It's more or less the same thing, that is survival, seeing how long you can survive, but at the same time they put up lores(some sort of campaign with objectives) within it for us to explore(if we chose to). So I can bet they are approching the same method of how they made DS, slowly adding up more contents in the coming months :)

Doesn't nearly every game end the same way every time...? Instead of "Good job, you won" it's "Good job, you survived this long". As long as you're having fun and not playing for a story, what's it matter what the end game is?

What's the point to live in this world,If your life is meant be doomed.

What's the point of playing a video game? :)

Who says your colony is meant to be doomed? I don't see the issue in surviving forever with at least a few people. You can grow food plus you can make food simply out of dirt and water which are abundant. Also you can just make fresh water by filtering polluted water and create oxygen by filtering carbon dioxide etc. I'm sure with a small colony it would take forever to even come close of running out of resources and by that time you are self sufficient.

But in any way, even if that's not possible. The fun comes from building your colony and trying to survive as long as possible. Plus the game isn't finished yet, they might add more stuff in the future to be able to be more self sufficient indefinitely. Like in the Long Dark in the beginning you would run out of stuff to eat after only a few days, now you can live pretty much indefinitely. Things might change over the course of Early Access.

As far I know their should be plenty of steam geysers around to make use of steam it also works as a water purifier sinds polluted water turn into pure so basicly infinite water which means infinite hydrogen,oxygen and food from farms.

also can't let this one drop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nw_cdqQHGA8
