Release Date: 08/05/21

Update Information:

Hi there, friends!

Today we present The Solar Swamped Update for Spaced Out! This update contains two new worldgen features. The first is a third Classic Cluster option: a large-sized Swamp Start so you can now play with the new biomes and critters on a larger world. The second is variable sunlight intensity per world. This introduces a progression to the effectiveness of solar panels (and sunburn risk) as you expand across the starmap.

There's TWO new songs in Spaced Out! to feast your ears on, as well as a number of new lore entries in the Codex. We've added details to the background of rocket interiors as they travel to different parts of space.

The new Location Sensor can be combined with an automation port on the Rocket Control Station to manage how your Duplicants use various facilities inside rockets. No more Meep using Mae's toilet or Ruby sneaking in a quick snack before launch!

And of course, there's a number of bug fixes and polish improvements. Please let us know in the bug forums if you see anything unexpected, and as always, thank you for your feedback!

All Oxygen Not Included Players

Now that both versions of the game are on a unified codebase, there will be simultaneous updates to the base game each time a DLC update goes out. While the Solar Swamped Update's new features are for Spaced Out!, this update also includes a large number of bug fixes for ONI.

We've fixed a number of issues introduced to the base game by the Breath of Fresh Air update, including a number of worldgen fixes (available on newly generated worlds) as well as some issues with Space Scanners.

Occasionally there may be new bugs as well, so as development on the game continues please let us know if you find any issues!
