Versions/U37-482255
U37-482255 is an update for Oxygen Not Included released on October 15, 2021. Official Release Notes
Update Information
Hi everyone,
Today we're opening the Public Testing branch to the first batch of changes from our next update to Oxygen Not Included: Spaced Out!
This update is focused on adding some unique cluster options, making research more accessible, and filling some gaps in the radiation/nuclear gameplay.The Virtual Planetarium has been restored! 'Orbital Research' has now been rethemed to 'Data Analysis Research' and is now generated by processing data disks at the Virtual Planetarium. Data disks can be generated in a number of ways, including using the Orbital Data Collection Lab, studying geysers, analyzing artifacts, and searching satellites and inspectable POIs.
The new Radiation Lamp building projects a predictable cone of radiation when supplied with uranium ore. We hope this will be useful for producing a reliable and controllable bit of radiation.
For clusters: We're excited to try out a new series of options that lean heavily into Spaced Out! mechanics. In these clusters the starting asteroid is smaller, there are fewer biomes per asteroid, and instead of two nearby asteroids there are four. Sustainability in these clusters might require visiting multiple worlds and some creative thinking.
Also, we designed these worlds in a way such that you can choose which you start on, so there are actually five new cluster options! These are generally meant to be harder starts with varying degrees of difficulty for players looking for a challenge.
These cluster options are still very much 'works in progress'. We expect them to change substantially as the testing period progresses. Most world traits on these clusters are temporarily disabled so we can get cleaner feedback on the base configurations.
You can check out the patch notes below to see what's included so far.
Thanks!
