Versions/U47-561558
U47-561558 is an update for Oxygen Not Included released on June 15, 2023. Official Release Notes
Update Information
Hey friends!
We're twice as excited as usual today, because not only is the June 2023 Quality of Life update out...it's also time for our big annual publisher sale on Steam!
This minor update includes bug fixes, UX improvements for both the base game and Spaced Out! DLC and a new category of blueprints, aka cosmetic skins.
Highlights include:
- Significant changes to the Space Scanner, Telescope and Enclosed Telescope!
- Improved range visualization!
- New category of blueprints! (aka cosmetic skins)
- New Move To tool for objects!
- A strange new asteroid and Puft atmo suit for Klei Fest!
Space Scanner, Etc
We've made big changes to the Space Scanner, Telescope and Enclosed Telescope. That includes simplifying the mechanics on the scanners to focus on network quality—now calculated by the total percentage of sky covered—and synchronizing automation among all scanners that target the same object.
An obstructed tile now blocks visibility from that tile out towards the nearest edge of the scanning range. Plus, improved range visualization makes obstructions super easy to spot...see below.
These improvements (and others!) might necessitate adjustments in your colony's current setup, so there's a 20-cycle pause on meteor showers.
Improved Range Visualization
We took the range visualization that we recently added to the Meteor Blaster, pepped it up and applied it to other buildings. Now you can tell at a glance exactly what's going on with each building's view of the sky. (Apologies to anyone who enjoyed guessing.)
A Bunch of Cool Things
There's a new version of the Move To tool that lets you instruct Duplicants to transport objects to a specific spot! Sinks no longer produce less water than they consume! Robo-Miners can now mine through open doors! We added ~50 new blueprints, including our first-ever Atmo Suit skins! Oh, and remember when a Duplicant might work up a sweat digging up a seed or a chunk of ore, only to have the dang thing pop out on the unreachable side of a wall? We fixed that too.
Klei Fest Surprises!
The universe is vast and unknowable, especially when there's a Temporal Tear at play. A new asteroid has plinked into existence. It's familiar and yet... not.
The Skewed Asteroid is a fixed seed (i.e. impervious to worldgen shenanigans) that allows players to share the experience of exploring the same unknown landscape simultaneously. We can't wait to see how your colonies adapt! Share your success stories, tales of despair and everything in between here.
Playing during Klei Fest also unlocks a special new 'print: the Puft Atmo Suit! Fits like a glove, and hardly smells at all.
Summary
There have been some potentially game-changing upgrades to the Space Scanner, Telescope and Enclosed Telescope, and new ways to visualize scanning ranges! There's a special new asteroid and Puft Atmo Suit 'print for Klei Fest. And of course, bug fixes and UI tweaks.
We love hearing what you think! Send your bug reports here, and feedback or even (dare we hope?) screenshots of your Skewed Asteroid setup here.
Thank you to everyone who helped us smooth things out during the testing period!
If your mods are breaking or you need a little extra time before switching over, you can opt in to the temporary Previous Update Branch.
Play on!
June 2023 Quality of Life patch notes:
Changes and Improvements
- All versions
- Robo-Miners can now mine through open doors.
- Space Scanners have significantly changed
- Space Scanners no longer have individual network quality and now only use a shared network quality.
- Network quality is now based on the total percentage of sky coverage: 50% of the sky provides 100% network quality.
- Industrial machinery no longer impacts network quality.
- Automation is synchronized between all Space Scanners targeting the same object. This means they go green/red at the same time.
- Telescopes changes
- Telescopes now have a symmetrical scanning range.
- Obstructions now block visibility from the blocked tile out toward the outer edge of the scanning range. This is also true for other buildings that use the new range visualization system.

- Meteor Blaster can now target meteors above the buildable area.
- The Meteor Blaster range visualization now shows obstructions and retains its color when overlays are enabled.
- Adjusted the Meteor Blaster range visualization artwork to improve readability.
- Range visualization
- Auto-Sweeper, Robo-Miner and Duplicant Motion Sensor now use the new range visualization system.
- Added range visualization for the following buildings: Telescope, Mission Control, and Space Scanner.
- Steam Turbine shows obstructed tiles for steam intake.
