Ostranauts Hotfix Patch (0.13.0.4) Is Live!
Hey Folks!
Ostranauts v0.13.0.4 is now available on Steam, and your clients should be updating shortly.
This is a hotfix update to our just released "Lucky Number 13" update, which fixes a bug that caused errors and missing ships (often OKLG) when using transit.
Saves from v0.13.0.0 and later should work. Note that if you were experiencing issues in the older save, this patch may fix some, but others may persist depending on the cause.
[h3]General Changes[/h3]
A few users were running into an issue where OKLG and their docked ship were no longer accessible after using transit.
It turns out this was due to objectives that pointed to non-people targets not being able to find that object when changing maps (e.g. when using transit). The game would hit an error there before the previous map finished saving, losing all that map data, and making it impossible to return to it.
This update is a quick band-aid to prevent that error from happening by safely abandoning the affected objective, until we can find a better fix that keeps the objective alive.
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!

- Fixed a bug that could cause save data to become corrupted when an objective referred to an object on a map being unloaded from memory.
