Hello friends,
We're udderly excited to be releasing our Song of the Moo update!
This update is packed with new elements (including a frothy green substance that technically counts as milk), new buildings, two new food recipes, critter ranching improvements and a brand-new behavior for the mighty Gassy Moo. There are new cosmetic skins too.
[h3]Got Brackene? (aka New Elements)[/h3]
Tame, well-fed Gassy Moos now produce a new milky element called Brackene. Ranchers can call a Moo over to the new Milking Station building to milk them when the time comes. If your colony doesn't have Gassy Moos yet, don't worry: you can also get Brackene by smashing up certain crops in the new Plant Pulverizer!
Duplicants can drink Brackene at the Water Cooler, while critters get it from the new Critter Fountain. In both cases, it's a nutrient-free mood booster.
Alternatively, Brackene can be refined into a strange polymer called Brackwax at the new Brackwax Gleaner building. The Brackwax can be used in the production of a highly heat-resistant super plastic called Plastium, or as a lubricant for faster travel in transit tubes.
[h3]New Moo-lody[/h3]
Gassy Moos can now reproduce—sort of. Once a domesticated Moo has consumed enough Gas Grass, they belt out operatic moos that echo across the galaxy, which attracts a new member to that asteroid's herd via the infamous Gassy Mooteor.
[h3]Other Cool Stuff[/h3]
The new Bleach Stone Hopper building can turn out a steady supply of Bleach Stone from Salt and Gold inputs, though you should expect some sand as a byproduct.
Meteors will now drop some resources when you blow them out of the sky with the Meteor Blaster.
We’ve added an automation port to the Egg cracker and given Duplicants the ability to eat raw eggs. If you’re feeling fancy you can cook the eggs into Soufflé Pancakes at the Electric Grill, or into a delectable Mushroom Quiche at the Gas Range.
All critters traps and lures are now made from raw metal, and can be rearmed after use.
Finally, we’ve made some UI improvements to the Supply Closet and added over 50 new cosmetic skins.
[h3]Summary [/h3]
We’ve made lots of improvements relating to the Gassy Moo, including making them milkable. Their strange brackish milk has a variety of uses for colonies both small and large.
If your mods are breaking or you need a little extra time before switching over, you can opt in to the temporary, unsupported .
