Release Date: 11/05/21


Update Information:

Hello everyone!

Today we’re opening the Public Testing branch for the next batch of changes to Oxygen Not Included: Spaced Out!

As mentioned in our previous update, the team’s focus has shifted away from adding new features and towards fixing bugs and polishing existing content. Basically, we’re trying to get Spaced Out! ready for launch. 

That said, there are still some notable changes in this update so far:

We’ve added four more classic style clusters. You can now find versions of The Badlands, Volcanea, Arboria, and Aridio in Spaced Out!. These options didn’t quite make the Rad New Worlds update so we’re including them here. 

We’ve also made changes to nuclear and radiation tuning. We’ve significantly increased the threat of radioactivity, making most radioactive things even more radioactive. Duplicants are more vulnerable than before, but the economies for Radbolt generation and plant mutation are similar to before.

Other than that, we won’t have many key features to share in this testing period. Instead, we’re planning to share a decently sized list of small changes and fixes when this update completes.

You can find our progress so far listed in the patch notes below. If you'd like to try the Public Testing branch you can follow the instructions listed here.
