RU-284571 is an update for Oxygen Not Included released on September 5, 2018. Official Release Notes

Update Information[ | ]

RU-284571

Since breaking through the surface of the asteroid our Duplicants have developed a curiosity for the endless cosmos that exists outside their little space rock. That’s right, the Duplicants have begun developing their very own space program!

They’re now able to build massive rockets, train as astronauts, and journey on missions into space to bring back the resources they find.

A big thanks to everyone who participated in the testing branch. You’re helping to make the game better and we always appreciate that effort.

What’s New in the Rocketry Upgrade?[ | ]

Key Features[ | ]

What's next?[ | ]

We feel the rocketry upgrade content has opened the door to further space industry related content. We’re looking forward to expanding that stage of the game further. We intend to expand the space industry content and systems in the next update.

We’re also getting close to completing the pre-launch features we planned in last year’s roadmap. We feel it’s approaching time to shift our focus to polish, usability, and content backfill. There is plenty of work to be done in those categories.

You can read more about that in the announcement we're going to share later today.
