Hi friends!

Were making good progress on the DLC, which will be going into Early Access in December! In the meantime, we've got an update for the base version of Oxygen Not Included: The long requested Cloud Saves!

This is something weve wanted to implement for a while, and we want to get this update out before Early Access starts as it will help support the coming DLC infrastructure. So this is a fairly small update to the game, consisting of basically just this new feature. (We did manage to squash a few bugs too!)

Additionally, this update includes upgrades to both the game engine and audio engine we're using to develop the game. This won't have much impact on you as the player, but it's a technical hurdle we needed to jump over to ensure the ongoing health of the game in the future.

Thanks as always for your support and feedback! Though we may not have been as active in the forums lately, we still read constantly and deeply appreciate all the kind words, amazing colonies, and fascinating discussions that go on here. You're the best!
