cpy Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 I like to play older versions of ONI from time to time because it feels like completely different game over time it evolved. Also I'm doing this guide mostly for myself so I can get back to it later when I need it. Might as well share it right? So to share what I know about steam depot download, I'm going to write a little guide for you for a little trip down the memory lane. ---1. you need to install microsoft DotNET 5.0 if you do not have it. Go to https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/5.0 get .NET Runtime 5.0.10 most likely windows x64 version and install it ---2. you need steam depot downloader from https://github.com/SteamRE/DepotDownloader if you are lost just go to (current version) https://github.com/SteamRE/DepotDownloader/releases/tag/DepotDownloader_2.4.4 If you have it, unzip it and put it in some folder. ---3. you need command prompt at that location, so you have few options press win+r type cmd and press enter or press start and select run type cmd and press enter or just click start and start typing cmd you should see command prompt app there run it ---4. once you have cmd.exe running you need to navigate to folder where you extracted your steam depot downloader cmd starts usually like this c:\Users\cpy (cpy - is my username, you will see your own username) just type cd .. (as in cd and two dots) and enter repeat this until you see just c:\> If you extracted file to D:\Games\Steam Depot you can skip steps above and just type d: enter you will see d:\> now you just go to that directory step by step cd games (press enter) cd steam depot (press enter) ---5. now comes the fun part the command itself sadly we probably can't go before agricultural upgrade so i'll post how to get latest patched versions of each major update I can find. Warning! Command uses your steam username and password for login so if you're worried about your password as you should be, change your steam password to some temporary new password before doing this if you don't trust this app! Don't forget to change it back once you're done. If you use steam authenticator it will ask for code right after you type the command so have it ready. Now type into that command box for: Agricultural Upgrade (AU) AU-221865 - all plants have 5 harvests only (including wild), point based agriculture https://oxygennotincluded.fandom.com/wiki/Versions/AU-217187 dotnet DepotDownloader.dll -app 457140 -depot 457141 -manifest 2681742065871605147 -username yoursteamusername -password yoursteampassword Outbreak Upgrade (OU) OU-235671 https://oxygennotincluded.fandom.com/wiki/Versions/OU-229531 dotnet DepotDownloader.dll -app 457140 -depot 457141 -manifest 1794932141548980410 -username yoursteamusername -password yoursteampassword Oil Upgrade (OI) OI-242186 https://oxygennotincluded.fandom.com/wiki/Versions/OI-235856 dotnet DepotDownloader.dll -app 457140 -depot 457141 -manifest 5562179219621833409 -username yoursteamusername -password yoursteampassword Automation Upgrade (AT) AT-243285 https://oxygennotincluded.fandom.com/wiki/Versions/AT-242372 dotnet DepotDownloader.dll -app 457140 -depot 457141 -manifest 5344836923461865631 -username yoursteamusername -password yoursteampassword possibly some emergency hotfix for that version? dotnet DepotDownloader.dll -app 457140 -depot 457141 -manifest 8964007445992903799 -username yoursteamusername -password yoursteampassword Tubular Upgrade (TB) TB-247630 https://oxygennotincluded.fandom.com/wiki/Versions/TB-246879 dotnet DepotDownloader.dll -app 457140 -depot 457141 -manifest 7817017692442926403 -username yoursteamusername -password yoursteampassword Occupational Upgrade (OC) OC-256131 https://oxygennotincluded.fandom.com/wiki/Versions/OC-254439 dotnet DepotDownloader.dll -app 457140 -depot 457141 -manifest 5550327240450391589 -username yoursteamusername -password yoursteampassword Ranching Upgrade Mark I (R1) R1-262109 https://oxygennotincluded.fandom.com/wiki/Versions/R1-260847 dotnet DepotDownloader.dll -app 457140 -depot 457141 -manifest 1603266191090093862 -username yoursteamusername -password yoursteampassword Ranching Upgrade Mark II (R2) R2-269773 https://oxygennotincluded.fandom.com/wiki/Versions/R2-266730 dotnet DepotDownloader.dll -app 457140 -depot 457141 -manifest 8454981249438378538 -username yoursteamusername -password yoursteampassword Cosmic Upgrade (CU) CU-275206 https://oxygennotincluded.fandom.com/wiki/Versions/CU-273433 dotnet DepotDownloader.dll -app 457140 -depot 457141 -manifest 2505115287361510700 -username yoursteamusername -password yoursteampassword Expressive Upgrade (EU) EU-280450 https://oxygennotincluded.fandom.com/wiki/Versions/EU-279457 dotnet DepotDownloader.dll -app 457140 -depot 457141 -manifest 8042305440034261035 -username yoursteamusername -password yoursteampassword Rocketry Upgrade (RU) RU-285480 -drip cooling fixed https://oxygennotincluded.fandom.com/wiki/Versions/RU-284571 dotnet DepotDownloader.dll -app 457140 -depot 457141 -manifest 4437082908282874620 -username yoursteamusername -password yoursteampassword Space Industry Upgrade (SI) SI-291640 https://oxygennotincluded.fandom.com/wiki/Versions/SI-290148 dotnet DepotDownloader.dll -app 457140 -depot 457141 -manifest 7202899111646907667 -username yoursteamusername -password yoursteampassword Quality of Life Upgrade MK I (QLM1) QLM1-303707 https://oxygennotincluded.fandom.com/wiki/Versions/QLM1-299745 dotnet DepotDownloader.dll -app 457140 -depot 457141 -manifest 7815382217128162482 -username yoursteamusername -password yoursteampassword Quality of Life Upgrade MK 2 (QLM2) QLM2-312713 https://oxygennotincluded.fandom.com/wiki/Versions/QLM2-309851 dotnet DepotDownloader.dll -app 457140 -depot 457141 -manifest 1908965051413790122 -username yoursteamusername -password yoursteampassword Quality of Life Upgrade MK 3 (QLM3) QLM3-327401 https://oxygennotincluded.fandom.com/wiki/Versions/QLM3-326232 dotnet DepotDownloader.dll -app 457140 -depot 457141 -manifest 8948279985013600284 -username yoursteamusername -password yoursteampassword Launch Update (LU) LU-372041 https://oxygennotincluded.fandom.com/wiki/Versions/LU-356355 dotnet DepotDownloader.dll -app 457140 -depot 457141 -manifest 7794825554024902257 -username yoursteamusername -password yoursteampassword Recreation Pack Update (RP) RP-394616 https://oxygennotincluded.fandom.com/wiki/Versions/RP-393356 dotnet DepotDownloader.dll -app 457140 -depot 457141 -manifest 6703262714828141808 -username yoursteamusername -password yoursteampassword Automation Innovation Pack (AP) AP-420700 https://oxygennotincluded.fandom.com/wiki/Versions/AP-398142 dotnet DepotDownloader.dll -app 457140 -depot 457141 -manifest 8925616286408966342 -username yoursteamusername -password yoursteampassword Cloud Saves (CS) CS-460672 https://oxygennotincluded.fandom.com/wiki/Versions/CS-442154 dotnet DepotDownloader.dll -app 457140 -depot 457141 -manifest 6259073762168292151 -username yoursteamusername -password yoursteampassword Remember every ONI update on steam will update to spaced out! You will have to copy from steam depot again! Further lies spaced out so this is as far as I go. Now that you downloaded your game inside steam depot you'll find downloaded depots inside folders with numbers like 457141 and inside that folder 7379531 you'll find files that most likely have oxygennotincluded.exe and some other folders and files next go to your steam folder and inside steam\steamapps\common\ you'll find oxygennotincluded back it up or rename it to something else like oxygennotincluded.new make new folder named OxygenNotIncluded and put all files from steam depot there so you'll see oxygennotincluded.exe directly in that folder Next go to your klei/ONI documents folder eg. C:\Users\(your username)\Documents\Klei\OxygenNotIncluded and back it up make copy of folder OxygenNotIncluded, you'll need it later if you want to return to newest version again and you don't want your config files acting up. Congratulations you are now playing whatever update you want! Some versions might be off since it's my best guess based on release dates but it should mostly be it.

cpy Posted October 6, 2021 Author Share Posted October 6, 2021 Well now you can use that damn noisy pod instead! I play version without any jobs so that's cool. Also I noticed in my screenshot there is and excelent face sitting by Leira on Devon. Those naughty dupes! Best part is, no lags, game runs like clockwork and I'm having lot of fun. When stuff gets big I fear lack of QOL performance will kill this too but, for now it works.

Slvrsrfr Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I would likely try it just to see if I could tease out my old map, Luxury Cosmos. As it is in profile banner. It was a testy version, Dupes were difficult to keep on task, among other things. But it also was before the 0kg 0cal lice. That are just laced with germs. I do deeply miss the round starter area, finding ways to get through the granite without needing dig2. When we had the jobs board. Not a huge fan of the head zapping. But LC was dreamy map. It was thrilling to try and tame it. Around time of Jobs update, maybe 1-2 before the pukey one. Sicknesses were 're-introduced'? Or some such.
