A new patch!

Hello friends! We've got a patch to fix some of the bugs that came up over the holidays. The fixes will be on the Open Testing branch for a while (instructions below), so please hop on and give it a try!

Fixes and Changes

• Fix crash when Duplicants are using the Ice Fan
• Automation sounds should recover to their full volumes more quickly now

• Balloon Artists now need less space to set up a balloon stand.
• You can now set the priority on buildings with a "Drop All Workable" chore.
• Fix for saves that already have NaN masses stored.
• Preventative measure to stop NaNs from getting set on food
• Update to Unity 2018.4
• Completing the building of Small buildings is no longer super loud.
• Fix a lot of instances of sounds being played at non-0 Z coordinates, leading to an uneven mix with unintended loudnesses.
• Fix Ghosts Of Gravitas achievement being awarded inconsistently
• String typo fixes
• Fixed Sun Lamp sounds
• Conducting heat via loose ore should respect insulation of the cell they are resting on
• Took out the eyelashes in the Stinky eye set for the overjoyed reaction. They snuck in there undetected before.

• Fix for issue preventing the portal side screen from showing checkbox for 'leave' victory condition

What is open testing?

"Open 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 open 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 an open 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.
