In the game Oxygen Not Included, Pufts are non-aggressive critters that breathe in certain gases and excrete them as their solid counterparts. They can inhale Polluted Oxygen and convert it to Slime at a rate of around 50 g/s. To generate Polluted Oxygen for Pufts, players can use various methods such as creating a stable room with Polluted Water, using Morbs, or setting up a simple air filtering system above the Polluted Water. Additionally, ensuring sufficient Polluted Oxygen pressure and considering the presence of other gases are crucial for the Pufts' survival and conversion efficiency.

Pufts require a lot of gas, so ensure there is enough polluted oxygen pressure
Pufts are non-aggressive critters that breathe in certain gases and excrete them as their solid counterparts. The Sigma Puft, for example, ingests Polluted Oxygen and excretes Slime with 95% efficiency. This slime can be converted to Algae at an Algae Distiller or used to farm Dusk Caps.
Pufts typically inhale twice, then rise to the ceiling and excrete 1.5 to 2.5 kg of their corresponding element approximately every 10 seconds. They can convert Polluted Oxygen to Slime at a rate of around 50 g/s. However, they can only achieve their maximum conversion rate if their mobility is limited. If they do not have room to rise to the ceiling, they will not produce droppings. This can be addressed by providing them with a pneumatic door as a roof, allowing them to produce droppings without accessing the space above.
To ensure there is enough polluted oxygen pressure for Pufts, consider the following:
- Building a stable room with Polluted Water on the floor will allow the water to off-gas Polluted Oxygen, feeding the Pufts.
- A single Sublimation Station running continuously can feed just under 8 Pufts.
- Morbs can be used to produce Polluted Oxygen at a low cost. Each Puft requires roughly 4.2 Morbs.
- Polluted Oxygen can also be generated by boiling Polluted Water to create dirt and steam, and then cooking the dirt to make sand.
- A simple air filtering system can be set up by placing a storage box filled with polluted dirt in the room, with a battery and a hamster wheel. The intake vent should be placed just above the Polluted Water, and the output vent at the top of the room.
- A polluted oxygen vent can provide gas to feed the Pufts.
- A small pool of polluted water just below their pins can also help keep the Pufts from starving.

Morbs produce polluted oxygen, but are inefficient and spread Slimelung
Morbs are creatures in the game Oxygen Not Included that produce polluted oxygen. They are, however, considered inefficient in polluted oxygen generation as they only produce 25g/s of it, requiring 4.2 Morbs per Puft. Additionally, Morbs produce Slimelung, a disease that can spread in the polluted oxygen and contaminate the slime produced by Pufts. Slimelung can be contracted by dupes, causing a penalty in athletics and coughing. While it is not difficult to cure Slimelung, it requires a dupe with the Bedside Manner skill.
To prevent the spread of Slimelung, it is important to contain the contaminated slime and polluted oxygen produced by the Morbs. One method is to submerge slimelung-infested slime in liquid, preventing it from off-gassing polluted oxygen and spreading the disease. This can be done by using storage bins or automatic dispensers that dump debris into liquid. Another option is to use an ore scrubber, which removes germs from contaminated objects carried by dupes.
Another approach to dealing with Slimelung is to kill the germs directly. One way to do this is to expose the slimelung-infested tiles to regular oxygen, which will slowly but surely eradicate the germs. Alternatively, placing slimelung-infested tiles in cold temperatures below +20°C will also kill the germs quickly. This can be achieved by using storage bins in a cold biome set to accept slime and algae, which are commonly infected with Slimelung.
While Morbs can provide a source of polluted oxygen for Pufts, their inefficiency and the risk of Slimelung spread may make them less desirable. Players may instead opt for other methods of polluted oxygen generation, such as using a Sublimation Station or an Electrolyzer, which is considered more efficient and easier to manage. Additionally, a stable room with polluted water on the floor can off-gas polluted oxygen, providing food for Pufts.

Polluted water emits polluted oxygen, which pufts inhale and convert to slime
Pufts are non-aggressive critters that breathe in certain gases depending on their variation, including polluted oxygen, and excrete them as their solid counterparts. For example, the Sigma Puft ingests polluted oxygen and excretes slime with 95% efficiency. The Slime that Sigma Pufts produce can be converted to Algae at an Algae Distiller, or used to farm Dusk Caps.
To generate polluted oxygen for Pufts, you can build a stable room with Polluted Water on the floor and fill it with plain Pufts. Polluted Water emits Polluted Oxygen, even in a vacuum, and the gas will feed the Pufts. The rate of production is random, and the emission will stop when the pressure above the water reaches 1.8 kg. Specifically, five times a second, it has a 1% chance of converting 0.1% of the surface cell's mass, up to 1 kg; so with a full (1000 kg) surface cell, it will produce approximately 30 kg per cycle. It is more efficient to spread out the polluted water rather than stacking it, and it only emits Polluted Oxygen to the tile above it, not to any other adjacent tiles.
Pufts typically inhale twice, then rise to the ceiling and excrete 1.5 to 2.5 kg of their corresponding element, doing this approximately every 10 seconds, so they can convert Polluted Oxygen to Slime at a rate of around 50 g/s. Pufts can only achieve their maximum conversion rate if their mobility is limited, otherwise, they will spend much of their time traveling and rising, reducing conversion rates. They will not produce droppings if they do not have room to rise to the ceiling. This can be solved by giving them a pneumatic door as a roof, which is not a solid structure but will still allow for droplet production.
It may be easier to keep the population of Pufts higher by keeping a separate Alpha Puft stable to produce Puft eggs. With Spaced Out, a single Sublimation Station running continuously was enough to feed just under 8 Pufts. Morbs can also be used to produce Polluted Oxygen with no costs after the initial setup, and at a cheap price. Each Puft requires roughly 4.2 morbs.

Pufts can also inhale oxygen and chlorine, but require limited mobility to achieve maximum conversion rates
Pufts are non-aggressive critters that can breathe in certain gases, including oxygen and chlorine, and their solid counterparts. They typically inhale twice, then rise to the ceiling and excrete 1.5 to 2.5 kg of their corresponding element approximately every 10 seconds. For example, the Sigma Puft ingests Polluted Oxygen and excretes Slime with 95% efficiency. The Slime can then be converted to Algae at an Algae Distiller or used to farm Dusk Caps.
Pufts can also breathe in oxygen and convert it to Oxylite, which can be used as an oxidizer in rockets. The Fat Puft, for instance, requires oxygen and creates Oxylite at 95% efficiency.
Similarly, the Moss Puft requires Chlorine and creates Bleach Stone at 95% efficiency. The Bleach Stone produced can be used to farm Waterweed or refill hand sanitizers.
To achieve maximum conversion rates, Pufts require limited mobility. If they are allowed to move freely, they will spend much of their time travelling and rising, reducing conversion rates. Pufts will also not produce droppings if they do not have room to rise to the ceiling. This can be addressed by providing them with a pneumatic door as a roof, allowing them to produce droppings without being able to access that space.

Pufts can be paired with Morbs, which consume the polluted oxygen they produce
Pufts are non-aggressive critters that can breathe in certain gases, such as polluted oxygen, and exhale them as solids, such as slime. They can convert polluted oxygen to slime at a rate of around 50 g/s. However, they can only achieve their maximum conversion rate if their mobility is limited.
Morbs are non-hostile critters that can be found in the Caustic Biome. They passively excrete polluted oxygen and do not consume anything. Morbs can be captured with a Critter Trap and delivered to a Critter Drop-Off. They wander in one direction until they cannot travel further, then turn and travel back. They can also jump over walls that are two tiles high or across a one-tile gap. Morbs can be trapped inside doors and Mesh Tiles, similar to other critters. They can achieve their maximum production rate if their mobility is limited and if they are never over-pressured. Otherwise, they will spend much of their time travelling or idling instead of producing.
Morbs and Pufts can be paired together since Morbs produce polluted oxygen, which Pufts can then consume. Morbs output polluted oxygen from nothing, making them resource-positive. Puft stables can be fed solely with Morbs to get Slime for free, and thus Algae (from Algae Distiller), Coal (from Sage Hatches) or even Dirt (from melting). On average, 4.2 Morbs are needed for each Puft, and 2.5 for each Puft Prince. A full Puft ranch with 10 Pufts and one Prince Puft will need at least 45 Morbs to be sustained.
A Deodorizer room to mass-produce Clay and Oxygen can be set up above the Morbs. To separate the polluted oxygen and oxygen atmospheres, the Deodorizers must be placed on Mesh Tiles, which are placed on Airflow Tiles, with Water inside the Mesh Tiles. The Deodorizers will output oxygen at their level, above the liquid. However, care must be taken to ensure that the Deodorizers do not over-pressurize, as this can lead to unlimited oxygen pressure and its associated drawbacks.

Frequently asked questions
Pufts are non-aggressive creatures that breathe in polluted oxygen and exhale slime. To generate polluted oxygen, you can use polluted water, which will off-gas polluted oxygen. You can also use Morbs, which produce polluted oxygen, but they are inefficient and produce Slimelung, which contaminates the slime produced by Pufts.
You can build a stable room with polluted water on the floor and fill it with plain Pufts. The water will off-gas polluted oxygen, feeding the Pufts. You can also build a vacuum chamber over a pool of polluted water to maximise the amount of polluted oxygen produced.
This will depend on the amount of polluted water and oxygen pressure. Ensure that there is enough polluted water and that the pressure of other gases, especially CO2, is not too high, as this will prevent the production of polluted oxygen.
You can find a polluted oxygen geyser to provide a source of polluted oxygen. Alternatively, you can use an Electrolyzer, which is more efficient and easier to handle than using Morbs or algae.
