New DLC Coming Soon! We've been working on a new DLC, and it's absolutely electric! In this paid DLC, we introduce new bionic Duplicants, portable power banks, buildings that allow Duplicants at one end of the planetoid to operate machinery way over on the other endand more. Check it out here and wishlist it to make sure you're the first to know when it's out! We'll be announcing the date very soon. https://store.steampowered.com/widget/3302470/
Free Weekend & Deal! The whole ONI universeincluding the base game, Spaced Out! and The Frosty Planet Packis on sale from now until December 4th! Curious new space explorers can play the base game for free from November 21st to 25th. Now back to today's free update... New Buildings Redistributing gas canisters and bottled liquids is easier than ever, thanks to the new Canister Drainer and Bottle Drainer buildings that allow contents to be released directly into connected pipes. There's also a new Bottle Filler that automatically stores piped liquids into bottles. These buildings have been added to all versions of the game. QoL The Schedule screen now supports multi-cycle schedules in all versions of the game, along with easy ways to duplicate schedules, shift schedule blocks left and right, or swap entire schedule rows with the ones above or below them. Duplicants now prioritize finding a new errand once they've completed their current one. They'll spend less time idling before they get back to work, which will be most noticeable in late-game saves. We've increased the drop rate and recycling yield rate for blueprints (aka cosmetic skins). That means more opportunities to collect, recycle and print new styles to customize your colony.
The Frosty Planet Pack There's a new Regal Bammoth morph! Feed it Squash Fries and watch it grow a shiny crest that can be shorn for gold amalgam. We tweaked diets to give these behemoths (along with their fellow Ceres critters) an appetite for additional foods, so that they can thrive in DLC-scrambled worlds outside of their native biomes. Take on fresh challenges in the new Spaced Out!-style mini asteroid cluster: it features a new Ceres Mantle starting world, as well as Sweet Ceres and Ceres Core asteroids. Bugs We fixed a set of bugs that were causing temperature miscalculations: Materials that become debris or recently entered or exited storage will now show the correctly updated temperature. For example, if something falls onto an existing pile of debris, its temperature will change the pile's overall temperature appropriately. Sublimating elements (like Oxylite) are now allowed to emit their gasses into adjacent tiles in situations that would otherwise delete mass. For a full list of patch notes, please see the official forums. Summary There's a new DLC coming soon! We've added Canister Drainer, Bottle Drainer and Bottle Filler buildings! Schedules can now last for multiple cycles! Blueprints will drop more often! The Frosty Planet Pack has a new Regal Bammoth morph, expanded critter diets and a new mini asteroid cluster! Sim heat transfer bugs got squashed! If your mods are breaking or you need a little extra time before switching over, you can opt in to the temporary, unsupported .
