Oxygen Not Included: The Bionic Booster Pack DLC Launch

[JarrettM]

Brace for electrical impact: The Bionic Booster Pack is out today! 

This DLC brings a surge of power-themed content to the ONI universe, including new portable power banks, remote-operation buildings, bionic Duplicants, bionic boosters, robo-pilot rocket modules, an airborne work drone, new elements, 90+ new blueprints (aka cosmetic skins), and more! 

The Bionic Booster Pack can be purchased for 7.99USD and is available now on Steam, WeGame and Epic. 

Grab some power to-go, hook up standalone power grids in isolated corners of your colony, and manage them from anywhere on the planetoid with remote-work buildings and new bionic recruits whose idea of resting after a long shift is to practice the Zen art of microchip programming at bedtime.  But when you see a Bionic Duplicant losing their cool, steer clear! Their stress response can be very...shocking. 

If you own more than one DLC, mix things up by using the Scramble DLC tool when making a new game! It works for The Bionic Booster Pack as well as past and future additions to the ONI universe. 

What's in this DLC? 

• Portable power banks!
• New power bank buildings: Compact Discharger, Large Discharger, Power Bank Recharger.
• New remote work buildings: Remote Controller and Remote Worker Dock.
• Six new Bionic Duplicants! 
• Bionic boosters!
• New Stress and Overjoyed responses: Stunner, Flash Mobber, and Rainmaker.
• New bionic-themed buildings: Gunk Extractor and Lubrication Station. 
• Other new buildings: Soldering Station and Data Miner.
• New Robo-Pilot Module for Spaced Out! and Robo-Pilot Capsule for base game. 
• New Flydo work drone. 
• New elements: Phyto Oil and Gunk.
• An exclusive new power-themed blueprints collection!
• ...and more!

Transform your deep-space outpost into a true powerhouse with The Bionic Booster Pack! 

Huge thanks to everyone who played the beta! Check out the patch notes and F.A.Q. below.

Woohooo!! Robot overlords, welcome to the colony!

[NeoDeusMachina]

It's purchased, shows as owned in game, but not installed. No matter what I do, it's not installing (restarting steam, verifying game integrirty etc.). Anyone has found a workaround?

Same here for both me and my wife. Never used beta branch, tried verifying game files, disabling mods, unticking and re-ticking the DLC, nothing. We are giddy to play this, so hope it's fixed soon!

So, I guess now is a good time to re-open the multiplayer debate, yes?

[EricKlei]

If you right click the game in Steam -> Properties -> DLC is there a checkmark beside The Bionic Booster Pack?

 

Are the files available on disk? Right click the game in Steam -> Manage -> Browse local files. An example file to look for would be OxygenNotIncluded_Data\StreamingAssets\dlc3_bundle.

 

[PhoenixRises131]

Same here. I even uninstalled and re-installed. Same issues.

When I open that page, there is no file size next to The Bionic Booster Pack. I suspect parts of the steam network haven't replicated the content yet. Or something. No idea really, but my screen looks slightly different.

File size is nothing though?

No files starting with DLC3 in that location, I've got DLC2 files and expansion1 files.

Yes and no. I checked and there is nothing about DLC3 in there. In the Properties > DLC the size of the DLC also does not have anything next to it. Steam downloaded 2 GB though so I'm not sure where it went.

same here

[FoldableHuman]

Steam can't seem to decide if I've bought it or not, the DLC is still showing as "in cart" despite having also sent me the confirmation email.

Nada. Sorry for photo overload, but tried to give info as much as I could.

[GScully]

Yes, the DLC is enabled. No, the files are not available on disk.

We are investigating. Thanks for the info.

Edit: It has been fixed.
