Versions/EU-277292

**EU-277292** is an update for *Oxygen Not Included* released on July 11, 2018. Official Release Notes

## Update Information

Hello all you beautiful people!

Like waking from a daze, the Duplicants have suddenly become aware of life going on around them. They've become concerned for their fellow Duplicant. They've started wanting more out of their existence on this little asteroid. They've invented video games.

If you're interested, you can help us test this new content for the next two weeks before it goes live. As always we appreciate your feedback, so please share your thoughts and opinions on the Suggestions Forum. Thank-you!

Please note: The socialization and recreation systems are still being roughed in, so you'll find more loose ends and missing details than usual at the moment. We still have to add things like tooltips and icons, UI for the schedule, attributes and effects actually modifying each other, and so forth. We encourage you to comment on the game as you're currently experiencing it, as we'll be considering your feedback while we develop these systems.

### What does this testing branch contain so far?

The following content is available in the testing branch:
	+ Duplicants will avoid eating or peeing during work
	+ After work, Duplicants will eat, pee, and enjoy their leisure time
* Many new Duplicant "reactions" to:
	+ Status effects
	+ Fellow Duplicants
	+ Environmental factors
* Duplicants will converse with each other occasionally
	+ Including animated mouths and eyes!
* Quality of Life to replace food/decor expectations
	+ Food, rooms, and recreation improve Quality of Life
* Save camera positions with Shift 1-9, jump to them with Ctrl 1-9

Technical changes:

* Improved boot times and load times, minor performance fixes
	+ Many of these changes won't be noticeable in the Testing branch due to the debug logging, but will have impact in the Release branch in 2 weeks.
* Fixed graphical issues that many OSX users were experiencing
* Fix a startup crash due to GPU scaling
* Cleaned up a number of memory leaks, especially when reloading a game
