How to debug in Dev-c You can use the Dev-c debugger to help you find errors in your program. In debug mode, you can step through the execution of your program one line at a time. It more or less tells you where to enable the option but does not do that for you. It does highlight the current status of the device though which may be useful at times. The options are intended for developers who developer applications for Windows 10 (or Windows 8.1), but they can be used by home users as well to sideload apps. Well, the answer to your problem (but not to your question) is to change your IDE. Dev-C is far too old to support C11. The MinGW GCC version that ships with Dev-C is version 3.4.2, which is really old. Decent support for C11 starts roughly from 4.6.0, but since it is still experimental, the newer the better.

Activating Debug Menu[edit | edit source]
Currently, the Debug Menu is not activated by default and must be 'created' to appear in game. Below is the steps necessary to create the menu for it to run.
- Create a text file anywhere on your computer and save the file name as debug_enable (it might require debug_enable.txt on windows and macOS). The file doesn't need any content, it's just the name that matters.
- Find the installation folder/directory for Oxygen Not Included. (Steam Users can find their files by right-clicking and viewing the properties of Oxygen Not Included in their library, then navigating to 'Local Files' and 'Browse Local Files'.)
- For Windows and Linux users, move 'debug_enable.txt' inside the 'OxygenNotIncluded_Data' folder/directory.
- For Mac OS users, open the application bundle by right-clicking and then selecting 'Open Package Contents'. Place 'debug_enable.txt' inside the 'Contents' folder.
- Restart Oxygen Not Included and start a game. (New games are advised, but the menu works on old saves too.)

Primary debugging mode (Backspace)[edit | edit source]
The primary debugging mode is turned on and off with Backspace (the first time it's turned on after loading a game it might take a few seconds to appear, depending upon the speed of your computer). This mode does the following:
- Turns off fog-of-war.
- Lets you zoom out as far as you want.
- Allows you to 'paint' solids, liquids and gases. (Painting replaces existing matter with the new matter you intend to paint)
- Lets you copy/paste areas of a world, including buildings with their settings/contents and critters, but not including dupes.
- Lets you save areas of a world as a template file, then later load and paste the template.
Debug Instant Build Mode (Ctrl+F4)[edit | edit source]
Toggling this mode on has several effects:
- When you place an order for something to be built it will appear instantly without using up any existing resources.
- All building and construction types become available, even if they haven't been researched yet.
- Any new dig orders will dig out the blocks instantly, though if the game is paused you'll have to unpause for it to take effect.
- For any buildings where you can queue up orders for items to be produced (Microbe Musher, Apothecary, etc), queuing up and order with '+1' will cause the request item to be instantly produced, even if the building is receiving no power.
- Duplicants can be assigned any Job, even if they don't meet the requirements for the job, and will retain that job after DebugInstantBuildMode is toggled off.
- If you select a Research subject that hasn't yet been fully researched it will become fully researched, along with any prerequisite research subject. These research subjects will stay fully researched after DebugInstantBuildMode is toggled off.
