[Game Update] - 496912


Recommended Posts

  • Developer

Hey friends,

We’ve got a minor update going out today! 

If you’ve had a chance to check out our roadmap post here, you know that our main focus these days is on improvements for later updates. 

But we made time to work on a few key things to make sure they’d be available in time for the Steam Deck launch.

Highlights:

  • Better controller support for Steam users using Big Picture Mode: 
    • Wider range of actions that can be activated by a controller.
    • Mouse/trackpad is still the most comfortable way to play, but a controller can now activate a virtual cursor
    • Added default controller configurations for: Steam Deck, Xbox 360 Controller, Xbox Wireless Controller, DUALSHOCK™4 Wireless Controller
  • Steam Deck support.
  • Minor UI adjustments to support smaller resolutions.
  • Fixed issue where Duplicants could get stuck depressurizing an Oil Well.

Keep those bug reports, comments and suggestions coming! 

For full patch notes, see below:

Great!  I hate it when my dupes get stuck on oil wells.

Could we get a fix on dupes in space teleporting their exhaled CO2 in to the nearest atmosphere below them (happens with oxygen in space or with oxygen masks)?  It's a frustrating bug that can easily mess up pure or carefully designed atmospheres and I can't think of a single reason why the CO2 can't just be deposited in space.

In my case, duplicants breathing in space were destroying an escher waterfall all the way at the bottom of my base.  They could easily be a steam room or something else that is touchy.

My feedback about UI:

I used to have to go into my UI scale settings every start because even if the screen settings were good, the icons at the bottom were cut off, so I had to move the slider from 100% and then back to 100% to be scaled. 

Now, the icons when starting the game seem to be a bit too high, and the copy building icon appears lower, until I do the above trick again.

Plus, as other mentioned, the build menu seems blown up after selecting the copy building option.

 

About mods: it seems to be affecting modded buildings in the sense that they appear in the research menu, but they don't appear in the build menu. As I'm writing this, one that has already been updated and fixed is the Airlock Door. The good news is that at least those modded buildings already placed in the world are still there and function normally, so no game braking of current builds, and that is a good thing.

Pliers 2021, Notepad, Storage Pod, Print Cassidy [my own little local fork with a handful of unique duplicants. hurts a fair bit to have to let go of this one...], Rebalanced Skills, Piped Deoderizer, Custom Tiles, Nuclear Processing & Chemical Processing [these ones being gone hurt], Spacer Set, Insulated Joint Plate, Steel Ladder all crash.

I will go and see if i can use mod updater in case of deprecated files but i have low hopes

It looks like something similar happening here to me 

 

I believe it may be a custom object in the game that is breaking it on load as it won't even load even after disabling all the mods.

well, do not forget that due to the lack of a full-fledged modding api, many mods are forced to patch several key methods, and if one mod fails, the game reacted falsely-positively to a lot of quite normally working mods.
in your case, there is a failure in the Dupery mod, the Db.Initialize Postfix patch

as far as I know, Ronivan is using Klei's method from ModUtil to add buildings and this one is updated to work correctly. Are you sure those mods are failing? maybe another mod crashed and those were incorrectly listed on the black screen?

Since this Update, I feel that there is 1 second lag when selecting a building.
I disabled all mods and it didn't fix it.
I'm sorry if it's just my imagination, but has anyone also felt?

For some reason the content of my copy building's build menus are oversized now, it doesn't open it at all before i've actually had a building menu open, but afterwards the icons it opens are too big for the space allocated to them.

 

Same for me on both of these issues since the update, with and without mods.

The lag being VERY annoying on a 1000+ cycle run with a lot going on, making it essentially unplayable now.

Add this to the mods crashing. I'm staying away from ONI completely until they can fix.
