I think this is the fix.  We'll see.

I hope research screen navigation will be fixed soon

Did they literally fix everything? I think ghost pipes are the only thing missed?

I didn't see anything at all to combat gaseous matter conversion, or liquid duplication, or metal cannons. I did see the pitcher pump cooling bug is nerfed (not completely fixed, rather insulated), but it shouldn't be as much of an issue.

i'm unable to start a new game, it crashes when i have choosen my duplicants and then embark, safe file is created but upon load it crashes   guess i'll wait

Try to deactivate all mods. While the preview reports that it deactivates all mods, apparently it doesn't until it has crashed once and then restarted. Maybe a restart is enough.

aluminum ore -> refined aluminum is in the game

refined: (found on rime at least :D)

 

and lead ore

 (found in oil biome on oceanea or whichever its called)

For the sake of oxygen, rust can be converted into TONS of oxygen.

Yeah< I guess oxygen is enough to get to that part (maybe). I am just so not used to it lul
And coal the same

Has anyone noticed a way to produce rust?  Or is it something exclusive to the Rust Biome?

[SakuraKoi]

This is awesome, you are awesome!

but let's take a closer look and see... to make it even more awesome~

• No clay on the map on (Arboria)
• There is no marsh biome on Arboria which should imho have it
• Meanwhile Verdante has no frozen and neither has standstone/desert biome (both #commented out for the prior)
• There should really be a world with all biomes
• The rust biome is way too cold and will kill dreckos
• Boulders are way too sizable
• Copper Ore only in geodes?
• Extra Oil, is rather obnoxious and all over the place. There simply should be a tad more balance
• One is only permitted to remove 6-12-18-20t of resources from a destination? Rather silly if you ask me, even if for the sake of balance and that resources replenish.
• Space Kittens are too cute, pls nerf

With the new difficulty names, I will finally be able to RP with MYSELF as a dup. The description is spot on. 

 

[Nightinggale]

Looking at the source code, the first interesting find is this:

public class Assets : KMonoBehaviour, ISerializationCallbackReceiver
{
	....
      
	public static List<KAnimFile> ModLoadedKAnims = new List<KAnimFile>();

Now we just need Klei to tell us how mods can use this and we should indeed be able to have custom graphics in mods

Oooh, it's been so long since we've had new content I'd forgot to check your datamining thread.  Mental note to give it a look later had been made.

[Muggins]

AMAZING update! Can’t wait to try it out. 

Very interesting wheezewort changes:

This one just tickled me somewhat:

[rafker]

I wonder what magic is this

Also, 500 lux is enough to wake dupe, which is ridiculous to say the least

I

That's to ensure that dupes can wake up grumpy and go "all those **** bugs kept me up all night".

[Kangaax]

This update looks amazing, I had just one question if a dev swings by: are fixed temperature outputs intended to be in the final release, eg. can we expect at release to be able to sieve extremely hot/cold pH2O into 40C H2O still? (and other converters)
Since the wheezeworts got updated, I'm expecting more nerfs to the "cheating" heat deletion mechanisms.

[Rebrait]

some nice things

• Soften Lead and Abyssalite elements.
• Harden Obsidian element.
• Duplicants work 2% faster when working in a lit space.
• Loud Sleepers sleep too deeply to be bothered by light while they sleep.
• Seeds self-plant after sitting on the ground a certain amount of time.
• After recovering from Food Sickness, Slime Sickness, or Zombie Sickness Dupes will not catch the same sickness again for a short time.

The code for that appears to be unchanged. However this is easy to mod and I see no reason why my water sieve mod shouldn't be made to work with the next release. In fact I suspect it works right now, though I haven't actually tested it.

[Technoincubus]

****...with wheezewort now unsustainable SPOM is dead

[Ipsquiggle]

The testing build is now live on Epic as well.

[Giltirn]

Not happy with this wheezewort nerf. How are we supposed to do general cooling now?

[WanderingKid]

Items from the full patch notes I found worthy of specific notation.  This is NOT the full list.

• Ice Maker now deletes 20% of the heat from water instead of almost all of it.
• Ice-E Fan now cools down itself and the surrounding area.
• Some rooms now require a Light source to be considered a room.
• Conveyor loaders will dispense items in a round-robin manner, to ensure they dispense all materials they contain and not just the first one.
  • I'm not entirely sure what this means yet.
• Soften Lead and Abyssalite elements.
• Harden Obsidian element.
• Petroleum Generator no longer requires Plastic to build.
• Planets now have limited/renewing resource mass. Space Missions to Planets will only return the available resources.
  • This could be very interesting.  Will require some experimentation.
• Space Missions to Planets with insufficient available resources will warn before launching.
  • Thanks for the warning! XD
• Remove dead Duplicants from the Skills screen.
  • It's just a flesh wound!
• Removed grimy status effect. Duplicants will still try to shower each day to gain the Morale benefits.
• Duplicants work 2% faster when working in a lit space.
  • This seems horribly minor.  Would we even notice?
• Fix Dupes eating or sleeping underwater.
  • Oh, finally.  Meep will stop turning himself into an ice cube for lunch.
• Duplicants' sleep is disturbed by sleeping it a lit space
• Fix dupes getting stuck rapidly switching between destinations when trying to recover breath.
  • No more Dying Dupe Disco!
• Interests now provide +1, +3, or +7 to the relevant attribute based on whether a duplicant has 3, 2, or 1 Interest.
  • Interesting gamification...  strong miner or an all around mason...
• Duplicants more aggressively teleport out of entombment situations.
  • No more Mr. Nice Scotty!  You WILL teleport, NOW!
• Add Super Hard Dig Skill to mine Diamond and Obsidian.
• Switch to fixed geyser count per world.
  • I assume this is necessary with the new world types at generation, but this is going to throw off a lot of expectations.
• Player can modify the Duplicant Shuffle button to shuffle specific archetypes of dupes, specifically locking in one interest at a time while rerolling all other stats.
  • Ooooh, shiinnyyyy….
• Remove references to Ranchers.
  • Apparently I missed something....
• Seeds self-plant after sitting on the ground a certain amount of time.
  • So, this has come back.  Cool.
• Duplicants should no longer be exposed to Slimelung merely by passing through a wandering pocket of germs.

Interesting....
