Will we be able to change the length of the break time? Or assign dupes individual schedules? At the start it seems like it'll take out a lot of early productivity.

That nice little button top left is still being implemented

I like this.

Wow, I almost forget this one

Will they play DS together?

I would like to see dupes play Pokemon GO! and carelessly walk into magma

I'm not sure fire poles are safe anymore.

Shouldn't this count as a recreation room?

I think it needs a massage table. I don't think they changed the parameters of what makes that a rec room, but rather just added things to put in it.

[lunazone]

Yeah it seems so

And maybe an Arcade cabinet, rec room needs 1 recreational building

Based on the patch notes this update looks a little lean, but a work schedule (that hopefully allows us to have a night shift) sounds useful.

One of these Thursdays, sooner than later I hope, I'm going to come here and see a Medical or Combat Upgrade, right?  My colony needs a doctor, and Meep wants to hunt him some shockworms.

Will there be new foods, please new foods

I feel like I should put this somewhere since I always answer you..

I don't mind asking, since i always get an answer. But adding it to the OP would work for everybody having the same question.

The first thing I noticed is that more toilets is a must if you usually run few. I was running a save with 5 dupes and 2 lavatories and on the second cycle after loading one of them made a mess. If you don't have enough to get them all relieved before nighttime things will get messy.

[Ambaire]

The dupes are complaining about being hungry when they still have 2700 calories remaining...

[Bargeral]

I hope the work schedule can include an auto-pause. Pause at next break, pause at next work period etc. Helpful for letting your dupes run wild for a bit, but not too long when you run off the bathroom.

[BlueLance]

Anyone else have a dupe that has 3 starving notifications whose walking on the spot?

[Lilalaunekuh]

Would love to see the water cooler implemented as some kind of rehydration building

=> Giving the dupes a daily need for fresh water  (Maybe even make dupes water neutral = Let them consume ~6,7l each cycle)

[Gurgel]

Excellent. I just got my current base long-term stable (at cycle ~2000 or so), so this is very welcome.

@Lilalaunekuh @turbonl64, you were asking about this.

@Cheerio

I saw :

• Fixed gas leaking through tiles in some directions

Any joy on liquids being displaced through solid tiles? 

See here :

 

[Mariilyn]

A couple of interesting changes

• Refineries will now fetch all ingredients for multi-ingredient recipes
• Fuel coal added to Kiln recipes
• Fish Delivery Point now only accepts fish
• Suits now show up in the resources panel
• Objects can now be inspected for Database entries
• Eggs will no longer incubate on a Conveyor Rail after passing through a bridge
• Increased Plastic melting point to 160C
• Many tooltips updated for accuracy and clarity

Also :   Fix crash when angry Duplicants try and punch outer space   awwww

[Lilalaunekuh]

@Ipsquiggle Thank you for further information,but the "Updates and Improvments"-section seems a bit strange:

1. Ore that gets buried in a tile of the same element is now added to that tile

=> Wasn´t the last change to store the element seperate ? (Or is this the 2. time this change was applied ?)

 

2. Wallpaper and Temp Shift Plates no longer create void when you deconstruct them

=> Wasn´t that fixed some hotfixes ago ?

 

3....

 

PS: I really don´t like the increased Plastic melting point (160C)

(Sure, it makes plastic a better building material and not many people heat everything except their base like me ...)

I would recommend a melting point <120C (Plastic ladders inside my steam chamber seem odd^^)

According to a quick google, four of the six commonly recycled plastics have a melting point above 100C. One has a melting point of 260C. So, not that unbelievable.

I like this change. Maybe I'll actually start producing plastic now.. never bothered with it before because of the low melting point hassle.
