• Biodiesel can no longer be used as a lubricant.

As someone who's been lubricating their prehistoric boop colony with this, I am curious as to why?

 

[M3mory]

After the update, the saved game cannot be loaded. It crashes as soon as it's opened, immediately returning to the desktop, so I can't even click "Report" to see which program caused the issue.After the crash, I found the log file and uploaded it ， is it possible to identify the problem from that?

@M3mory Something to do with customized clothing, still investigating but this save appears to load (only changes where resetting dupes outfits to default)

If I were to venture I guess, it would be that biodiesel is meant to be the refined product of phyto oil, the same way petroleum is for regular oil, and this change unifies how those two materials are treated (while my own thought is, petroleum seems to be disallowed so that a gunk boiler doesn't solve bionic's lubricant needs forever with a small amount of oil, but if gunk can't be converted to biodiesel, why worry about biodiesel?)

the one time i feed my dupes shellfish tempura is the one time baby sanishells dont drop raw seafood when they die

My hopium is that this is in preparation for biodiesel in petroleum engine

If I remember correctly bog buckets have higher water consumption than bristle berries

It can still be frozen and used for Gear Balm, though.

NICE!!! Rhex Ws continues and finally renewable rust yah, BUT still nothing mention about Jawbos getting a happiness buff for eating live pacu? Still a WIP? Also how about you give the Jawbos that 2x excretion bonus for eating live pacu like the Rhex I think it is only fair since Jawbo should fall under the Carnivorous critter category, that will make Jawboo even better for rust with that bonus.

I mean thats cool but isnt Ovagro still the best outta the 3? altho the blossoms can fit a full ranch of 6 lumbs no?

Gotta Look into these, Smoked Fish imo is the best food overall with the shelf life. but Veggie Poppers are quite ez af.

I was curious about that I only played on Relica Minor and I always notice the print pod is legit just below the impact of Demolier and a lil higher than other SO size maps LMAO, you could have reach space a lot sooner. Think thats a good change.

Are yall for real? I mean...I guess tallow gear balm by freezing biodiesel so technically you are still using biodiesel to lube boops. All I really want for biodiesel is to be used as rocket fuel please.

 

I like most of these changes, now I gotta start a new colony again XD.

There was another post talking about saves crashing because of clothing. Not beta related (according to OP). I don't know if the issue made it to the bugtracker 

 

[ALCRD]

Same here.

Hard crash when i attempt to load my beta branch colony save after the update.

It's been confirmed that the problem is related to the outfits. As shown in the image, the gloves and footwear slots are unclickable, making it impossible to change the gear. I'm very grateful to the Klei team for helping me modify the save file so I can continue playing without having to start over.

[ALCRD]

I hope a quick hotfix drops. It is unfortunate that i can't continue my colony anymore. And i was so close to see the devastation or benefits that Demolior impact would bring :3

Thanks for your reply!
Is your new printer pod skin not working either?
