Ostranauts Patch v0.6.2.7 Available
Hey Folks!
Ostranauts v0.6.2.7 is now available on Steam, and your clients should be updating shortly.
Some significant changes to the timer system in this patch, aimed at reducing cases of sudden hypoxia and temperature/pressure spikes, plus other changes.
Specifically:
This patch includes a major change to the way sim timers update, to avoid cases like the sudden hypoxia that would appear on players. We'll be watching this patch closely, as such a major change is inherently risky. However, several hours of testing so far seems to show it working as intended.
There are also some fixes to nausea getting stuck on players, and gas stats spiking when uninstalling doors between rooms.
Character customization got a boost, with the ability to now randomize name, and fine-tune appearance. Plus, the sink can now be uninstalled!
And the usual attendant smaller fixes feature in this patch, too.
As always, there's plenty more for us to fix, change, and add! And we'll be continuing in roughly that order. In the meantime, let us know if this patch helps you out, as well as if it reveals new problems!
