Update Information:
Hello everyone!
Today we’re releasing the Cosmic Calling Update for Oxygen Not Included: Spaced Out!
This fun new update contains new buildings, revised rocket tuning, art and sound updates, bug fixes, and more…
New Buildings:
The Radbolt Joint Plate is a solid tile that allows Radbolts to pass through one-way - just make sure your Duplicants aren’t standing right on top of it while a Radbolt is passing through!
The Party Line Phone is a new recreation building that Duplicants can use to talk to each other over long distances. Duplicants enjoy a small morale bonus if they use the phone by themselves, a bigger bonus if they have a chat with someone on another phone, and an even bigger bonus if at least one participant is on a different rocket or asteroid..
The Automation Broadcast Sender and Receiver allow you to transmit an automation signal between worlds. The broadcaster has a limited range though, so a relay network may be necessary for longer range transmissions.
Rocket Tuning:
Rocket ranges, speeds, and max height tuning have all been adjusted. All rockets have been made faster, and some have gotten range and height boosts. The range of the Radbolt engine has been reduced.
Art and Sound:
We’ve updated the artwork for a number of buildings that consume Radbolts and new sounds for automation and radiation overlays.
A couple crash and bug fixes also made it into this update.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the Public Testing branch. Your feedback and bug reports are much appreciated. Please let us know in the bug forums if you see anything unexpected, and as always, thank you for your feedback!

Features
-
Spaced Out! Only
- Added Party Line Phone building.
- Added Radbolt Joint Plate building.
- Added Automation Broadcaster and Automation Broadcast Receiver buildings.
- Rockets now burn one hex worth of fuel when taking off and landing.
- Rockets in old save files that are in-flight and have at least some fuel or oxidizer in their tanks will have their fuel and oxidizer tanks topped off to prevent stranding rockets.
- Rebalanced rocket engine fuel consumption rates, resulting in changes to the ranges of rockets.
- Increased CO2 Engine range from 4 to 6.
- Increased Sugar Engine range from 4 to 6.
- Increased Steam Engine range from 6 to 10.
- Increased Small Petrol Engine fuel efficiency to change base range from 6 to 10.
- Increased Petrol Engine fuel efficiency to change range per tank from 6 to 10.
- Increased Hydrogen Engine fuel efficiency to change range per tank from 9 to 16.
- Reduced the number of Radbolts the Radbolt engine can store from 4800 to 4000. This results in a maximum range decrease of 24 to 20.
- Adjusted the power and burden of rocket engines to speed up space flights and bring some under-performing engines more in line with the rest.
- Rockets with the Round Trip toggle active will now wait until POI harvesting is complete before returning to their source.
- Increased maximum height of the Steam Engine from 20 to 25.
Changes & Improvements
- Fullscreen mode is now borderless (game doesn’t minimize when using a secondary monitor).
- Added sound for automation & radiation toggle overlay activation.
- Updated all supported localizations.
- Added sounds for Conveyor Rail Germ Sensor, Element Sensor and Temperature Sensor.
- Added hammer strike sounds for Conveyor Rail Germ Sensor, Element Sensor and Temperature Sensor, Conveyor Chute and Conveyor Shutoff.
-
Spaced Out! Only
- The length of the pending path is now shown when selecting a rocket destination.
- Limited the height of rockets to 30 tiles when no engine exists to define the height.
- Added Rover Lander deploy Starmap animation.
- Added launch/land animations for Interplanetary Payload on starmap.
- Adjusted Trailblazer Lander starmap animation to appear over the target world.
- The Temporal Tear Opener is no longer deconstructable.
- Added sound for Trailblazer Lander on the starmap.
- Added sound for Rover Lander and Escape Pod on the starmap .
- Added sound for Temporal Tear on the starmap.
- Art changes to buildings with Radbolt input ports.
- Spacefarer Conduit Port Tiles art revision.
- Ladder Bed art and animation revision.
- Wall Toilet’s output is only blocked by substantial liquid amounts on the output tile.
- Added sound for Ladder Bed.
- Added sound for rocket Scout Lander landing sequence.
Fixes
- Fixed lighting and biome tinting on Linux and other platforms where it was previously inverted.
- Fixed an issue that could cause an unexpected column of natural tiles to appear on load.
- Removed stray black lines sticking out from some tile artwork.
- Duplicants and critters will no longer idle in locations where Airflow Tiles, Mesh Tiles, Insulated Tiles, and Farm Tiles are being constructed.
- Wall Pot can now be placed next to a tile under construction.
- Fixed Drecko description in Care Package screen to reflect its true diet.
- Added missing input bindings text for tools.
- Fixed typo in dying off germs tooltip.
