I have about 1800 hours of experience playing Oxygen Not Included and thought it would be a good idea to make a tier list of which PlantsI tend to prioritise finding, harvesting, and farming. This is quite a subjective list where I’m ranking the plants mostly based on how much I go out of my way to acquire them or their seeds early on, and how much they influence the development of the colony. I factor in early game use cases as well as the sustainability and efficiency of the plant into the midgame and late-game, as well as how some plants directly compete with close rivals, such as between the Sleet Wheat and the Nosh Sprout. Now that the Song of the Moo Update has come out and Gas Grass is a bit more useful as an option, I thought it would be a good moment to produce this video. As many plants are grown directly for food, this tier list interacts a lot with my previous video here: https://youtu.be/RxrAgnYHHL8. I should say my opinion on Nosh Sprouts has improved since then, as I’ve found them a bit easier and more worthwhile to grow than previously thought.
Let me know if you have any comments on this list! I’m keen to see if you’ve managed to get Gas Grass and Nosh Sprouts to really shine, or if you’ve had any unusual builds with plants like the very versatile Arbor Tree or the elusive Saturn Critter Trap.

Critters tier list next?
I've recently started using wild-grown saturn critter traps to produce hydrogen and they work an absolute charm, especially in conjuction with an ATN. Bees aren't actually eaten by them, so you can use that system to cool the radioactive biome no problem.
If you run the hot water/salt water output directly to your plants (even sleet wheats) using insulated pipes, and then just cool the plants themselves with a cooling loop, you won't have any stifling issues. So cooling geyser output for that is not necessary.
Yeah!
An other 1H tiers list video !!! Thanks Erisa 😉
Like ShampooHater I'm waiting the Critter video too ^^
Great work ty ❤❤❤
Meal lice is the best to be honest, they simply can carry any colony till very late game when you can do whatever you prefer, i tend to switch to berry sludges.
I love these tier lists!
Whaaaaaaaaat?! I can make bleachstone? How do I do that?
