Developer Cheerio Posted October 5, 2017 Developer Share Posted October 5, 2017 Plumbing further into the depths of the asteroid, our Duplicants have made a fortuitous discovery - oil! Will the colony flourish into an energy-rich paradise? Or devolve into a mire of sweltering heat and suffocating fumes? Welcome to Oxygen Not Included - Oil Upgrade! So What's New? Hydrocarbons Oxygen Not Included has received a whole new collection of Hydrocarbon resources, along with research and buildings to manipulate them to your benefit. Among these new Hydrocarbons are Crude Oil and Petroleum, which you can use to manufacture versatile plastics for advanced technologies and luxury commodities. Key Features Oil Biome: Journey down into the asteroid's depths to obtain the valuable Crude Oil that awaits in this new biome. You may even make some new creature friends along the way. Oil Wells and Geysers: Seek out Oil Geysers and tap them with Oil Wells to extract their precious fuel. You may need to sacrifice some fresh water in the process, however. Petroleum Generator: Use the new Oil Refinery to produce Petroleum and fuel your new high-powered Petroleum Generator. Plastics: The Polymer Press will allow you to start manufacturing your own plastics, unlocking a new tier of advanced and germ-resistant materials. Try not to heat them up though; Naphtha byproducts are no use to anybody. Suits Suits are heavy-duty hazard gear designed to keep your Duplicants breathing in any environment. With these new additions, you control when and where Duplicants must wear protective suits as they go about their work and keep your base running. Key Features Atmo Suits: Crafted at the new Exosuit Station, Atmo Suits increase digging speed and shield Duplicants from unlivable temperatures, gases, and conditions. They may slow your Dupes down a bit, but being slow is better than being dead. Checkpoints and Docks: Use new Suit Checkpoints to mark off areas where Duplicants must wear Atmo Suits and prevent them from entering dangerous places unprotected. Once done they've finished their business, you can store and refill your exosuits back at the Suit Docks located next to your Checkpoint. New Overlay: Enter the Exosuit Overlay to view docks and the checkpoints marking where Duplicants must change into suits. And More Rooms: When areas you've built fulfill certain requirements, they will now be recognized as designated rooms. For example, an area with a toilet, sink, and a door will now be recognized by Duplicants as a "Bathroom". Completing rooms will grant bonuses to the buildings within them and make Duplicants more efficient. New Overlay: Enter the Rooms Overlay to view all current completed rooms in your base and the bonuses being granted by them. New Creatures and Buildings: Sink: Tired of filling and emptying Wash Basins all the day long? Well now you can build your own plumbable Sinks, complete with clean and dirty water pipes! Plastic Ladders and Tiles: Use your brand new plastics to improve the infrastructure in your colony. Plastic ladders and tiles are faster to run on, and their natural antiseptic properties will even keep germ spread at bay! Slicksters: These slippery little scoundrels can help you recycle your colony's excessive carbon dioxide production into sweet, sweet fuel. Plus they're cute! Comfy Beds: The meaning of the word "discomfort" is sure to fade from collective consciousness once you build your Dupes these fancy beds. Heavi-Watt Joint Plate: Run Heavi-Watt Wire through walls with this industrial joint plate. Apothecary Unretired: The Apothecary has been reintegrated and can now be used to create general medicines for sick Duplicants, or tasty Vitamin Chews to boost individual immune systems. Research Tree Changes: Existing techs have been separated out into more chunks so you have more choices about how to tackle your tech problems, and costs have been rebalanced to fit. Improved Daily Report Breakdowns: Reports now display more varied and accurate information about your colony's activities throughout the day, for example - how many embarrassing bathroom accidents your Duplicants had that cycle. Disease Mass Limits: New disease mass limits mean germs can no longer reproduce ad infinitum, which is nothing to sneeze at. [BETA] Simplified Chinese Translation: We've added a new BETA translation in Simplified Chinese. Additionally, community translations are still available and we are working to provide more translations for many other languages as well. Tons of bug fixes, rebalances, QOL additions and more!

Asking the user about "Are you okay risking regenerating the map and possibly destroying your base?"

Michi01 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 28 minutes ago, DayDreamer said: any word on: Do we have to go New-game for the new biomes to be available? Even longer answer: If you're not above using debug mode, you could use it to spawn the new things into your old world. It wouldn't be the same as a naturally generated world with the new features though and you couldn't do it without spoiling yourself about new features, which I'm gonna assume you want to avoid.

Perhaps it's wise to put the answer somewhere in bold letters :3 Since it's and early access games with very frequent and pretty big updates, I tend to not get too attached to my games, knowing that I will need to start a new one at every update. And if I don't have time for a new game, I just test the new features in debug mode to keep up to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love how the posters get more gritty and golden book as the aesthetic grows. Quite a huge leap from the cleaner first trailer/teaser. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotenKi Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I'd like to state the Naptha or rather Naphtha This site is hilarious to use, all becasue I just wanted to make sure I got his correct spelling I'm now stuck with a problem that can't be deleted in this message.. what a kick! how unthoughtful can the site be.. oh well Quote Quote Quote Quote Quote Quote 5 hours ago, Cheerio said: this is a joke now.. hehe I'm unable to get out of it lol on me.. oh well I wanted to state that in the oil industry Naptha is a wonderful product with lots of uses. but you can use it to clean your equipment of oil and crude spots can easily use it to add to your fuel for more go power, I think it could be added to bunker fuel for ships even to use less of the bunker fuel product they used to use to fire there boilers. Years ago prior to any known issue with cancer or other disease it was a great product with tons of uses.. back in the day when you could use tyelnol to your hearts content.. before lawyers got ideas.. oh well at least I got out of the glorious text that it used . oh yea can we please have a way to store those pills Hatches love them and you can't pick them up for storage!

TylerThailand Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Did they increase the spawn rate of geysers and ruins? I found 1 steam, 1 chlorine, 2 natural gas geysers and 4 ruins all just within a screen of my main base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jofe Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I'm experiencing a lot of random crashes since the update. I don't think I ever crashed with the previous versions so getting so many crashes from just playing the game is disheartening. Anyone else experiencing similar problems?

You have to heat up the water to high heat, as mentioned by Risu above. There's a number of approaches, such as aquatuner boilers, using the built in tepidizer (I don't like that one, too much power for too little gain because of the cold drip bugs), or just storing it down near magma/oil... which + aquatuner makes for a high-speed boiler apparatus AND you can cool your petro!

brummbar7 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 @kryst415987 Or just don't use germy fresh water for making food or washing hands. Then you don't need to sterilize it at all, since the only way to catch food poisoning is by eating contaminated food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's free-roaming, you'll want to spread deodorizers around the area. But as far as I can tell, as long as you keep the oxygen purified, the slimelung he gives off won't be enough to cause any harm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
