Oxygen Not Included Quality of Life Update, DLC Announcement and More!
Hi everyone!
Our November 2024 Quality of Life update is out today!
This free minor update features new buildings, UI improvements, bug fixes, and performance improvements for both the base game and Spaced Out! There are also changes and additions to The Frosty Planet Pack.
Before we get into the free update, we've got some exciting news:
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 end—and 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 universe—including the base game, Spaced Out! and The Frosty Planet Pack—is 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.
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 .

Oxygen Not Included: The Frosty Planet Pack DLC Launch
Guess what, asteroid explorers...
...The Frosty Planet Pack DLC is out on Steam TODAY!
This DLC features a frozen new world filled with brand-new biomes, oddly adorable new critters, new buildings, blueprints (aka cosmetic skins), plants, resources and deliciously deep-fried foods! We've even recruited a new Duplicant!
The DLC can be purchased for 7.99USD and is available now on Steam! It'll be available on WeGame and Epic soon, too.
If you dug into this glittering new icescape during our free beta period, rest assured (or alarmed) that there's plenty more to explore in the full version—including a big engineering project deep down at the planet's core. There's also a Blasted Ceres option in the Lab for the thrillseekers who want an extra-challenging version of this new starting world.
Sure, the whole colony's complaining about frostbite, but wait 'til they discover the hot new ways to stay warm! Just don't let those snow tiles melt...
We've revised temperature mechanics for Duplicants and critters to make things simpler and more interesting. We've also introduced the option to mix in asteroids and biomes from one or more DLCs when making a new game, so you can scramble the cosmos at will! The "Scramble DLC" tool works for The Frosty Planet Pack and future additions to the ONI universe.
Additionally, we're releasing a free update for the base game today: It includes the temperature mechanics revisions mentioned above, plus the new elements, UI improvements, and more.
What's in this DLC?
A brand-new icy starting world.
New critters: Flouncy Floxes! Behemoth Bammoths! Sweet-toothed Spigot Seals!
Three new biomes: Ice Cave, Cool Pool and Nectar.
New plants: Pikeapple Bush, Alveo Vera, Sherberry Plant, Plume Squash, Bonbon Tree, and Idylla Flower.
New buildings: Wood Heater, Snow Tile, Deep Fryer, and more!
New elements: Cinnabar, Tallow, and Nectar.
New Duplicant: meet Freyja!
New POIs: a Gravitas live/work showroom! An enlightening Research Portal! A power plant that may or may not have wreaked havoc on past colonies!
Exclusive, cold-themed new blueprints collection!
Revised temperature mechanics.
...and more!
The universe can be a cold, cold place...conquer it all from the questionable comfort of your cool new snow fort colony in The Frosty Planet Pack DLC!
Huge thanks to everyone who played the beta! Check out the patch notes and F.A.Q. below.
