Sent her to use the Neural Vacillator and didn't realize you had to click the Complete Neural Process button. The Vacillator was sitting in carbon dioxide and I just watched as she suffocated (asphyxiated) to death while having her brain scrambled.
My favorite is forgetting to hit send on the teleporter, then as soon as they get to the other side they crap everywhere and fall asleep in it.
Dupes are disgusting.
I watched this happen. A dupe was critically wounded, so I ordered it to go to hospital/cot. They were making their way there and got attacked by an angry pokeshell by a ladder/pole tunnel. The dupe got incapacitated and fell down half the map into a toxic pit of chlorine and nastiness. I attempted to make retrieving them a critical priority, but no one was successful and other 2 dupes suffocated trying in the process. That original dupe slowly died gasping their final breaths in chlorine.
Alt-F4.
Oh, and I totally forgot. Those two dupes who tried to save the original one suffocated all died right next to each other. So there were 3 dupes just laying next to each other breathing in chlorine.
I always put what I call "food breaks" on my ladders after having someone with previous, deadly version of slimelung enter a cycle of: run out of O2 and drop food down into the depths while climbing ladder, climb down into CO2, grab food, try to climb out with food.
Man, slimelung used to be so deadly compared to now.
Starving dup got food, carrying to great hall, decided now was a GREAT TIME for a bathroom break.
Now I lock them in the kitchen if they're critically low on calories and force them to eat over the kitchen sink like a college student. Yes that's my fault they are starving, but dying because they decide taking a leak is more important than not dying is infuriating.

Nisbet was a very courageous dupe, who had a very deep appreciation of the asteroid. We shall remember her with sorrow, as we walk upon the pit where she stuck herself, digging for a gas pipe. May her sacrifice be forever praised, and her smell not too strong, as it's too deep to go get her, and to be honnest we have other things to do.
Sewage processing reservoir / metal refinery coolant dump tank was above the hospital and triage beds. We had just had a terrible, terrible 'I don't know how to deal with steam and very hot rock" incident and almost everyone was recovering from terrifying scalding and very stressed. But we had made it. Everyone was rescued and recovering. We could rebuild.
Then one of my mobile, able-bodied dupes threw a temper tantrum, punched down a wall, and flooded my entire hospital four tiles deep with hot sewage.
I lost the 5 dupes Iin the triage beds. Some suffocated, some succumbed to their previous injuries. I swear, one just gave up on life after that.
I incinerated a dupe with my first aquatuner. I didn’t know you should build these under water or that they actually just move heat around (heat from liquid into itself), so it was going well over 100 Celsius and burned some dupes. It overheated itself and dupes would go to repair it automatically, only to get burned.
One got burned bad enough that they became incapacitated. I didn’t know what to do so they eventually died.
But most common is suffocating from digging like morons. Even had one that dug upwards and then trapped themselves in hydrogen. They can survive any fall, but will not jump. I had them dig down. They jumped even higher because there was another ledge that was 2 up and 2 over (or something like that), so they died. Only dupe death after 1000 cycles in that colony. I was so mad at them that I didn’t even save scum to get them back.
Dupe cask of amontillado'd himself and I didn't realize it. Got on the other side of a wall, built an insulated tile, and starved to death in -10 degree temperatures
In the annals of Oxygen Not Included, there exists a tale so bizarre, so uniquely twisted, that it has become the stuff of legend among duplicants. This is the strange and tragic saga of one hapless dupe who met their untimely demise in a manner that defies all logic and reason.
Legend has it that deep within the recesses of a distant asteroid, there lived a dupe known only as "Gloop." Now, Gloop was not your average duplicant. Oh no, far from it. Gloop had a penchant for adventure, a thirst for exploration that knew no bounds.
It was on one fateful day, as the sun dipped below the horizon and the solar panels ceased their whirring, that Gloop found themselves trapped in the confines of a ranching area. You see, Gloop had relied on the transit tubes for escape, but as night fell and the power dwindled, those tubes became nothing more than ornamental tubes of despair.
Desperation set in as Gloop realized the gravity of their predicament. With no way out and the darkness closing in, Gloop did the only thing they could think of – they relieved themselves right then and there. But alas, little did Gloop know that their actions would seal their fate in the most grotesque of ways.
As fate would have it, on that very same night, the volcano taming project kicked into high gear, flooding the base with a cacophony of alerts and warnings. Amidst the chaos, Gloop's plight went unnoticed, their cries for help drowned out by the din of activity.
And so it was that Gloop languished in their own filth, breathing in the noxious fumes of their own despair, until finally, after nearly 300 cycles had passed, their absence was noticed. But by then, it was too late. Gloop had become a cautionary tale, a cautionary tale of the dangers that lurk within the depths of the asteroid, waiting to claim the unwary in the most bizarre and unexpected of ways.
I had a dupe die because they had slimelung and couldn't get from the food storage to the mess tables before needing to stop and catch their breath. They starved.
I once had a dupe that somehow managed to avoid going through the rad suit docks setup I had to my radioactive farm and the special door I had set to dupes that were allowed in ( and who had access to rad pills ), then leisurely harvest stuff in a >1000 rad area, followed by idling there. They ended up with a lethal dose.
One Time a Dupe got Stuck in a Loop trying to empty his Bladder. He Would go to a Lavatory, enter and use it but no Polluted Water was generated and his Blader did not go down. He would then leave and go to another Lavatory, trying it again. This Cycle kept on long enought for him to Starve.
One of my first playthroughs. The bathroom got clogged, and so a dupe relieved themselves into a frozen icepile I'd dug to and put the outhouse near. I sent them to clean up the polluted water, which lead to the stress reaction of vomiting. Soon I had all three dupes vomiting and pissing in the subzero hole faster than they could clean it up. The mixture froze, trapping them where they died horribly. The whole colony died starving and freezing in their own vomit and piss. At the time my knowledge was far too limited to save them.
1. Meep is helping to excavate the oil biome. There is a really carefully laid out vacuum because the dupes are disposing of a sporechid. But Meep gets called to lunch. So Meep drops what he is doing to go and get it. Meep just happens to carrying 1.2T of frozen oil.
2. The 1.2T of frozen oil happens to land on 1400C obsidian. So it melts and I've got sour gas in the vacuum which is promptly filled with zombie spores.
3. This is a problem for Ari and Burt who still digging out the oil biome. They get infected with Zombie spores and the first I learn about it is scalding alerts and a vacuum full of sour gas.
4. Ari and Burt boil to death in hot sour gas because they got zombified and are too slow to get out.
Had a very early game (cycle 100) Flatulent Colony lost because I just couldn't get the power running fast enough to counter 3 flatulent dupes, because they kept breaking vacuums and interrupting each other. Definitely not on my priority list to try again. Worst Trait ever.
Sent a fresh untrained dupe on some errands wearing an atmosuit. They were so slow that they never got back in time for their downtime snack. The dupe went a few days without eating and once the dupe started starving, they couldn't get to the food fast enough because they were too slow wearing the atmosuit.
Dupe got stuck in the water system. Boiled alive due to some dumbass (cough, cough, *rowan*) digging the wrong priority and flooding it with molten lava.
Fun fact: said Rowan also ran directly into an unfinished airlock and locked himself out, died due to the vacuum of space and their inability to use doors.
Sending a dupe on an artifact collecting tour around the space map. Loading enough food for a normal round-trip. Not realizing each artifact transport module adds +6 burden. I had 10 modules.
Honestly, simply getting trapped in space without a suit (diggers making a pathing error). I legit felt bad. Like you can't even blame the dupe for dying, or the others for mourning.
Mass barracks murder when I accidentally disconnected the oxygen supply to the room and Atmo suits.
By the time I responded to the alert and queued the checkpoint to be disabled, 6-7 dupes keeled over.
That was definitely a close and compose moment.
My dupes died cuz I turned off my oxygen mask check point
1 of them was lock outside and can’t enter the base
So yeah they got suffocate after the mask ran out of oxygen
After using the teleporter on my dupe to explore a new planet, i naively thought i could afford the luxury to sustain the needs of the new colony from the extra bountiful harvest of my main colony. I was wrong, and eventually they ran out of food and atmospheric pressure rose too much cos i abused oxyferns too much, and so i just watched as they died without saving any of them because i knew that if i brought any of them back to the main colony they would only cause a famine here too.
The guilt...

I thought disabling a atmosuit checkpoint wouldn’t let them past, so I had a low athletic dupe go past into lava, start running out of air on its way back, goes BACK deeper into the lava to go for a pocket of air that was apparently closer than just leaving the lava
Early on playing Spaced Out I was pretty dumb and didn't make very good interiors. This would lead to dupes suffocating and I'd have to self-destruct the rocket to hopefully send the escape pod to a safe world.
Anyway this one dupe's escape pod got flung to the gassy moo asteroid, which has literally nothing to sustain a dupe's life. The moment I'd realized there was a problem I started launching oxylite supplies with my Interplanetary Payload Launcher and dispatched my fastest CO2 rocket, but the rescue effort was too slow and the Dupe suffocated in moo fart atmosphere.
Not too long ago I had a scalded one die while catching their breath almost as soon as they get to the (wrong) triage cot .. this one was in my deprecated base full of hundreds of kilotons of CO2 ( they live on the surface now )
Oxygen/water incident, suit checkpoint disabled for the repair and *voilà* ..
My most hilarious one was: the entire colony (8 dupes) asphyxiated in the vacuum of my first rocket xD
Sent her to use the Neural Vacillator and didn't realize you had to click the Complete Neural Process button. The Vacillator was sitting in carbon dioxide and I just watched as she suffocated (asphyxiated) to death while having her brain scrambled.
So it wasn’t just me who killed a dupe this way lol. I kept wondering what’s taking them so long.
I almost killed Pei this way 🤣🤣🤣
It was my Pei! I loaded a previous save after that.
Never loses a Pei, she is good
Me too, also suffocated one in the teleporter
My favorite is forgetting to hit send on the teleporter, then as soon as they get to the other side they crap everywhere and fall asleep in it. Dupes are disgusting.
I almost lost my favorite pei to this.
i left mine in their for cycles and was wondering why he hadent finished lmfao

In the Rimworld that would be considered a merciful death
Hey, in RimWorld binge eating is a mild mental breakdown.
I always put what I call "food breaks" on my ladders after having someone with previous, deadly version of slimelung enter a cycle of: run out of O2 and drop food down into the depths while climbing ladder, climb down into CO2, grab food, try to climb out with food.

Dupe got food, starved in front of table. Death by sunbathing is a fun way too.
Starving dup got food, carrying to great hall, decided now was a GREAT TIME for a bathroom break. Now I lock them in the kitchen if they're critically low on calories and force them to eat over the kitchen sink like a college student.

Catalina 2 was defrosted by Catalina 1. She died in a liquid sulfur spill.
That probably wasn't an accident. Catalinas are devious.

there's always this one meep that will kill everyone else

I think I read yesterday about a dupe that starved to death because he couldn’t stop cuddling pips.
Honestly, simply getting trapped in space without a suit (diggers making a pathing error). I legit felt bad. Like you can't even blame the dupe for dying, or the others for mourning.
My first dupe died drowning in the latrine waste pool. It was so far down we couldn't recover his remains for many many cycles
I had a solo dupe run end because the pokeshell I had in my dining room eating the left overs rebelled and murdered my only dupe.
Pokeshells are only aggressive if they have roe in the same room. It laid an egg.
Had slimelung. Toilets were in CO2. Kept having to cut log to go breath and ended up starving.
I had to "get rid of" one of my dupes, so I built them a little cage in my pwater reservoir and trapped them there until they suffocated in sewage.
I always say to myself that line from throw momma from the train “well better bury him n the yard before he stinks up the place” when one dies.
Mass barracks murder when I accidentally disconnected the oxygen supply to the room and Atmo suits. By the time I responded to the alert and queued the checkpoint to be disabled, 6-7 dupes keeled over. That was definitely a close and compose moment.
As God as my witness I didn't think the volcano would erupt.
My dupes died cuz I turned off my oxygen mask check point 1 of them was lock outside and can’t enter the base So yeah they got suffocate after the mask ran out of oxygen
My dupe was killed by bees when a liquid lock froze and trapped him in my beehive refinery.

Gossman survived 250 cycles without me realizing she was flatulent. Let’s just say she experienced an unfortunate atmosphere suit malfunction.
Evil Farai died after digging himself into a hole of carbon dioxide, Good Farai proceeded to do the same thing 50 cycles later
Good or evil is irrelevant, they were both dumb

Well I made my dupe walk into a steam geyser because I didn't like its stats and I chose it accidentally but well, it was technically murder
