U38-486708 is an update for Oxygen Not Included released on November 18, 2021. Official Release Notes
Update Information
Hello everyone!
We’re one shiny new update closer to launching Oxygen Not Included: Spaced Out!
The Buff & Shine update is focused on fixing bugs and polishing existing content, with a few notable changes that have us feeling all a-glow...
Radbolts can now be safely stored, ready for transport, in the new Radbolt Chamber building. It requires automation (you’ll need a green signal to release radbolts from storage) and radbolts decay pretty quickly while the building is disabled.
We’ve added four more Classic-style clusters: you’ll find versions of The Badlands, Volcanea, Arboria and Aridio in Spaced Out! These options didn’t quite make it into the Rad New Worlds update, so we’re including them here.
Radiation is more intense than ever! All radiation emission sources have been significantly increased. We’ve also reduced the impact of radiation on plants and buildings, so the net effect is that Duplicants are more vulnerable to radiation sickness.
There are plenty of other exciting things packed into this update too, including new artwork, restored base game buildings (e.g. Space Scanner, and the Enclosed Telescope formerly known as Telescope), bug fixes and quality-of-life adjustments.
Full patch notes

Changes and Improvements
- All versions.

- The anti-entombment code is much less aggressive when searching for a place to move Duplicants when they are covered by falling tiles (such as sand).
- Spaced Out! only.
- Radiation
- Increased all radiation emission sources intensity
- Most sources were increased by 10x (except for the Glow Stick trait, which is slightly reduced).
- Research Reactor was increased by 20x
- Shine bug was increased by 5x
- Reduced Radbolt Generator radiation to radbolt conversion efficiency by 90%.
- Increased plant radiation tolerances, minimum radiation requirements, and radiation mutation thresholds by 10x.
- Adjusted Radiation Eater rads/kcal ratio to roughly preserve old kcal generation potential with the new emission intensity tuning.
- Increased standard Duplicant radiation recovery from 60 to 100 rads/cycle.
- Radiation now kills germs on ores, buildings, critters and dupes.
- Worldgen
- Changed Classic Style Verdante cluster to be more similar to the base game. Irregular oil placement and removed frozen Rust biome.
- Changed Classic Style Verdante Cluster coordinate prefix to V-LUSH-C to match the base game. Classic Style Arboria Cluster now uses its V-FRST-C prefix instead. Existing saves will switch to the new prefix.
- Changed Classic Style Oceania's second world to “Glowood Wasteland Asteroid.”
- Starting asteroids in Spaced Out! clusters now experience 50% less cosmic radiation than other asteroids in the cluster (now approximately 125 rads/cycle). Moonlet Cluster Badlands, Flipped, and Radioactive Ocean are unchanged.

- The Radbolt Generator automation port now simply turns the building on and off instead of preventing radbolts from firing.
- Changed description of Radbolt Generator to better reflect how it functions.
- Meteor showers no longer fall on unvisited asteroids
- Rocket Platforms now have an automation output port indicating if a rocket is on the platform.
- Rockets will remember their last launch pad per world and prioritize landing there if a specific pad is not chosen.
- Added new Duplicant animation to the main menu.
- Updated all starting and nearby asteroid icons
- Rover can now build buildings up to the second tier.
- Added an extra tile of thickness to portions of the Spacefarer Module's interior ceiling to increase radiation shielding. Note: This change will only apply to newly built Spacefarer Modules.

- Finalized Manual Radbolt Generator animations.
- Added sound for Manual Radbolt Generator
- Removed displaying nearby and distant asteroids at the top of the Choose a Destination screen.
- Pips can now be found in care packages even if they haven't been discovered yet. This means it's possible to get Pips in the Rime Cluster.

Fixes
- All versions
- Fixed an issue where a building's access permissions could stop working if a Duplicant with custom access permissions died & was buried.
- Fixed an issue where materials delivered to a construction site could be destroyed, causing the construction to fail.
- Removed unused "genetic traits" from non-English languages on the Duplicant selection screen.

- Gantry is considered a building for filtered tools.
- Removed FOW from Jungle POI that was not being cleared when opening a door.
