• Fix dark colorstyle intended for load screen
  
• Add icons to the load game details screen
  
• Allow rockets to travel the final tile when they have exactly enough fuel left, rather than them being stranded with 1 tile range remaining
  
• Increased the mob density of many creatures and plants across the cluster planets.
  
• Added a "crust" to several worlds to prevent upper biomes leaking into space.
  
• Moved outer ring planets in SwampStartCluster.yaml to rings 5 & 6 so they will be accessible until we add later tech rocket engines
  
• Updated rocket port building descriptions
  
• Show an icon/tooltip on a Spaced Out save
  
• Colonies from the wrong version of the game are shown disabled in the load screen.

• Fix crash when opening the patch notes.
  

Klei are back with their great space colony sim with the Oxygen Not Included - Spaced Out! expansion now available in Early Access with Linux support.

• New Multi-World Gameplay![The Starmap and space program have been completely redesigned to allow you to span your Duplicant civilization across multiple planetoids, each with their own resources to contribute.
  
  
• Brand New Starting World! The Swamp start, along with its supporting biomes, provides a new, different mixture of resources to exploit as you nurture your fledgling colony.
  
  
• Mid-Game Rocketry! The rocket mechanics have been completely redesigned to make rocketry part of your colony's core infrastructure, rather than just an end-game goal.
  
  
  • Rocket tech is easier to research and is more integrated with the rest of the tech tree.
    
    
  • The surface of the starting planetoid is a lot less hostile, and new early-game tech is being added to ease the transition into space.
  
  
  
• Multi-Colony UI Improvements! The Diagnostics side panel and redesigned Resources screen have been expanded to manage your attention across planetoids.
  

• Radiation/Nuclear Systems: We've put lots of work into the underlying mechanics of this system already, although it’s still not quite at a point where we're ready to test and receive feedback on it. Radiation systems should become available for testing later in Early Access, once the existing features and systems are in good shape.
  
  
• Late-Game Planetoids and Rocketry: There's still a lot of content to make for this DLC, and we feel it's important to focus on the early and mid game content first.
  
  
• Rare Resources and Global Sustainability: We have plans for how we want to distribute geysers, resources, and other sustainable solutions in the late game, but are holding off on expanding on these ideas until we feel comfortable with the early and mid game content.
  
  
• Mods:We currently have mods disabled to ensure that the feedback we're getting is specific to the content and balance that currently exists in the game and to reduce unrelated bug reports. As Spaced Out! becomes more stable and gets closer to final release, we'll turn mods back on.
  

Klei Entertainment are expanding their fabulous space-colony simulation game with the first full expansion in Spaced Out, which enters Early Access on December 8.
