Hey Folks!

Ostranauts v0.7.0.11 is now available on Steam, and your clients should be updating shortly.

This patch fixes several bugs that have been reported recently, and should hopefully make the game a little more reliable for you.

Saves from 0.7.0.X should work. If you were experiencing issues in the older save, this patch may fix some (especially timing-related issues), but others may persist depending on the cause.

Hey Folks!

Ostranauts v0.7.0.10 is now available on Steam, and your clients should be updating shortly.

This patch adds a long-awaited mute toggle to the proximity alarm, and remembers your nav station's labels knob setting between sittings. Plus sink graffiti, a battery fix, and better licensed kiosk messing.

Saves from 0.7.0.X should work, though if you were experiencing issues in the older save, they may persist if you continue them.

Happy Holidays Folks!

We wish you a warm and bright holiday, and prosperous new year. We'll be taking a break over the next two weeks to be with family and recharge. (We'll keep an eye out here for anyone having trouble, though.) Enjoy your holiday season, and we look forward to seeing you all in January!

Also, Ostranauts v0.7.0.7 is now available on Steam, and your clients should be updating shortly.

Hey Folks!

Ostranauts v0.7.0.4 is now available on Steam, and your clients should be updating shortly.

This patch changes the way save files are structured to make them multi-file, and should help users who regularly experienced save failure issues.

Saves from 0.7.0.3 should work, but due to the change in save file structure, all backup saves will be deleted when the new save is created. So if you have precious info there, you should make a copy of those before saving again.

Hey Folks!

A little over a year ago, we launched Ostranauts on Steam Early Access. And over the course of the past year, we've had a number of stability fixes, quality of life changes, new features and content added to the game. We've also had a year of chatting with fans to get a better sense of what they're expecting out of Ostranauts, and a better idea of how fast we can work.

Hey Folks!

Ostranauts v0.7.0.3 is now available on Steam. Named "The Gig Economy" Update, it represents a major feature update, hence the change from 0.6.x to 0.7.x. (Be on the lookout for a post soon with our new roadmap!)

Hey Folks!

We're preparing our next big feature update for Ostranauts (v.0.7.0.1), and it's a pretty big one. We're pretty happy with how it's turning out, but we could use a hand stress-testing it for bugs and balance. So we're opening it up as an opt-in beta branch, for those who want a sneak preview.

Note: Saves created in this version may break as we fix issues.

Hey Folks!

Ostranauts v0.6.12.8 is now available on Steam, and your clients should be updating shortly.

This patch addressed a few older AI issues and annoyances, as well as a recent door bug.

Saves from 0.6.12.7 should work, but saves that previously experienced issues may continue to experience those issues, requiring starting a new game.

Hey Folks!

Ostranauts v0.6.12.7 is now available on Steam, and your clients should be updating shortly.

This patch is another hotfix for issues discovered in 0.6.12.4, specifically addressing the K-Leg license not working after the first one expires, adding the missing air vents to the PDA build menu, and some AI ship spawning tweaks.

Saves from 0.6.12.6 should work, but saves that previously experienced issues may continue to experience those issues, requiring starting a new game.

Hey Folks!

Ostranauts v0.6.12.6 is now available on Steam, and your clients should be updating shortly.

This patch is a hotfix for a few issues discovered in 0.6.12.4, specifically addressing transit not working, crashes while saving/loading on K-Leg, and a bug where captain ignored player input.

Saves from 0.6.12.4 likely still work, but if you encountered transit not working, it will continue to be broken in 0.6.12.6, requiring either restoring an earlier save backup, or a new game.
