Developer JarrettM Posted May 5, 2022 Developer Share Posted May 5, 2022 Hey everyone! It’s time to start public testing for our next update and free content pack, Fast Friends. For the past few months, we’ve been focusing on performance and memory improvements, bug fixes (some new, some really old!), ranching improvements and myriad technical tasks. Plus, we’ve added a few fresh faces to the colony. The game, including the Load Game/New Game screens, is faster overall. We’ve also greatly reduced ONI’s memory footprint, which will be most noticeable on computers that have less available memory. We’ve fixed several critter bugs. Fixes include Dreckos (who also received a tuning pass) and Pips now correctly gaining calories proportional to the amount of plants consumed; Pacus now flopping back towards liquid even when left unsupervised; and flying critters no longer getting stuck in liquid. Critter performance, such as finding food, has been significantly optimized. (Let us know if you spot any odd behavior!) And of course, there’s the performance improvement to sneezes and snores… A special thanks to mod developer @Peter Han for sharing some of the performance improvement ideas that we have incorporated into this update. You can follow their ongoing work on the Fast Track mod here. (This mod is not a Klei Entertainment project, but we do think it’s awesome.) On the content side, there are four new Duplicants—complete with a pair of new Overjoyed and Stress traits—four new Critter morphs, and a new Clothing Refashionator building that allows you to upgrade Snazzy Suits into one of 12 new outfits. Thanks as always for your feedback and bug reports—they’re super helpful! Keep ‘em coming here. Here’s what you’ll find in the Fast Friends testing branch so far: Spoiler Features All versions Added Cuddle Pip critter morph Added Delecta Vole critter morph Added Sanishell critter morph Added Oakshell critter morph Added four new Duplicants: Amari, Pei, Quinn and Steve Added new Duplicant traits Banshee and Yodeler Added Clothing Refashionator building with new outfits New idle animations on the Printing Pod screen Changes and Improvements All versions Critters Dreckos and Glossy Dreckos consume significantly less plant growth per cycle to adjust for a related bug fix. Pokeshells now consume 50% less mass (polluted dirt or rot piles) per cycle. Grooming Station and Shearing Station now provide husbandry experience. Duplicants gain some husbandry experience when wrangling critters. Wrangling speed is faster with a higher husbandry level. Added Copy Settings to Incubators. Added shearing animation to Dreckos. Duplicants can now climb down two tiles and jump across one tile. They could already do the reverse. The “Copy Building” button now remains visible even when the previously selected building is canceled or destroyed. In these cases, the button will queue a new order of the same building type using the default or recent material(s) selection. Duplicants now wear their equipped clothing when displayed in the Skills Screen. Added UI SFX when toggling between mouse and controller UI modes. Added additional toilet diagnostic for critical bladder status. (i.e. A really-gotta-pee warning) Improve the consistency of the visual fade at map edges. Moved Gas Range’s output exhaust down one cell Added short descriptions to Disease/Germ database entries. Added cycle recipe arrows to fabricator recipe side screens. Increased Arcade Cabinet Morale Boost to +3. Stress Reduction increased to 15% per cycle. Reduced heat generation by 50%. Nosh Beans are now classified as a cooking ingredient and can be stored in a Refrigerator. Renamed Cooked Fish to Seafood and revised its artwork Revised Surf’n’Turf artwork Modding: Worldgen mods now require a restart for changes to take effect.

Small improvements to UI toggle performance. Memory optimizations Cleaned up a number of memory leaks that were causing memory to balloon after each save/load. Significantly reduced pathfinding memory by packing data tighter and removing unused data. Cleaned up Decor provider memory. On very large bases this saves 60-120MB. Reduced memory usage of overlay textures. Savings of roughly 237MB in animation texture data. Reduced texture memory of background textures by 276MB. Removed animation data files after they are loaded, saving 165-200MB. Spaced Out Improved Spaced Out! Starmap UI performance Fixes All versions Sim: Removed energy damping to allow adjacent cells in a vacuum to better balance temperature. Fixed issue where geysers would sometimes freeze their output.

Super Productive Duplicants can no longer instantly dig up Neutronium. Fixed issue causing detail screen collapsible panels to sometimes display incorrectly when collapsed. Fixed crash that could occur when mousing over empty colony summary screen charts Critter bugs Grazing critters (Dreckos and Pips) now correctly gain calories proportional to plant growth consumed instead of maxing out their stomach after a nibble. Pacus now correctly flop towards liquid while off-screen. Pacus no longer gets stuck in pools of mixed liquids. Gulp Fishes no longer entomb themselves while creating bubbles. Fixed glum critters sometimes not being groomed. Fixed Fish Feeder removing double the amount from storage. Fixed flying critters getting stuck in liquid. Fixed Pacus infinitely falling. Fixed Fish Release counter not working. Builds which count critters now work correctly on load and when the room size is changed. Added missing Happiness icon for critters and hooked up missing tooltip. Added missing egg Viability icon. Pacu's description explains they can live in other liquid types besides water.

"Public testing" means players get to test-drive new content early and give us feedback and suggestions before it goes live. Because this is an unfinished and in active development version of the game, it's pretty likely you'll encounter bugs, crashes or balance issues while playing these builds. We'll try to fix any problems that crop up as quickly as we can, but it's possible you'll lose progress in your games while playing on the Testing branch. Regarding performance, the Testing branch has additional debugging tools enabled to help us track down crashes. This makes the game run more slowly than the live version of the game. Please also be aware that once a save is loaded in the Testing branch, it cannot be reopened again in the previous Live branch or previous builds. What do I do if I find a crash or a bug? Post it up on the Bug Tracker and we'll fix it as soon as we can. If you can attach a copy of your save file to your report, that helps us even more as we can pinpoint the source of problem more quickly. Do I have to play the public testing build? Nope! If you'd prefer to only play a stable build, you can continue to play in the current Default branch until the game launches in full. Playing the Open Testing build isn't necessary, but it helps us a lot to receive your feedback and reports - if you're interested, try it out! How do I become a public tester? There's no sign up or registration for becoming an open tester. If you own Oxygen Not Included and want to join the Testing Branch, all you have to do is play the Open Testing build on Steam. How do I play the public testing build? You can switch your branch on Steam using the instructions below: Spoiler How to change branches in Oxygen Not Included (Steam) In Steam, click on Library > Games. Scroll down to Oxygen Not Included. Right-click and select Properties. Go to the BETAS tab. In the dropdown, select the name of the branch you want to play. In this case, the branch name is "public_testing" This branch does not require a password. In that same Properties window, go to the Local Files tab and press "Verify Integrity Of Game Cache." Your game will be updated to the the previous branch. Launch and play Oxygen Not Included View full update 28 5 1 1 2 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ingame database doesn't explain. delecta voles apparently can be shorn to make something called Tonic Root when they eat regolith, which is apparently an edible plant with some positive sounding side effects. Oakshell eats the same food as pokeshells but produce lumber when crushed, sanishell apparently can deal with germs (unexplained how, specifically) but are otherwise the same as regular pokeshells. Cuddle pips can eat reed fiber and possibly hug eggs, apparently. Edited May 5, 2022 by ashridah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is this ? You used to be able to trap dupes, because they could jump across a gap and climb two tiles, but not do the reverse, so they'd path in one direction to pick up something or dig something or whatever, and then get stuck and pee themselves if you didn't realize you'd created the trap. 2 minutes ago, Primalflower said: aren't they edible and drop meat, too?
