Versions/EX1-466411

**EX1-466411** is an update for *Oxygen Not Included - Spaced Out!* released on June 3, 2021. Official Release Notes

## Update Information

Hi friends!

Welcome to the **Mine The Gap Update** for *Spaced Out!* This update brings increased resource renewability with the introduction of **Space Points-Of-Interest**! Equip a rocket with the new **Drillcone** and start dredging those interplanetary riches!

While you're out there, keep your eyes open for artifacts! Yes, **Gravitas artifacts** are back! Collect them all from a number of new and updated points-of-interest. Once you're done gathering them, you can teach your Duplicants the **"Demolition" Skill** and wipe those Gravitas buildings off the map if you feel so inclined. (World regen is required for the new points-of-interest to show up.)

We've also done some significant rebalancing of the tech tree as we work to optimally integrate new mechanics into existing gameplay. The Atomic Collider and Atomic Research Points are being redesigned as the **Materials Study Terminal** and **Materials Science Research** so they�re more thematically neutral for application across the tech tree. Techs have been shifted around and costs have been standardized (including moving all Orbital Research costs up one tier) to reduce the burden on unlocking tier 5 techs.

Plus, we've made changes to the Radbolt Generators and adjusted the overall radiation balance. There is now **increased control over Diagnostics criteria** on the Diagnostics screen. **Biome Codex entries** have been finished up. And, some exciting new **changes to bottled gasses and liquids**: they can now liquify/solidify if they get cold enough!

This update provides **new sources of sustainability** and a **whole new layer of gameplay on the starmap**. We welcome your feedback and bug reports! Once again, thanks so much for being with us through this DLC's Early Access period.
