Hey friends,

Welcome to the Packed Snacks Update!

This is ONI's 50th update—we can hardly believe it! Whether you've been choking down mush bars with us since the first one or joined in somewhere along the way, thank you for being here.

We're celebrating with a new germ-themed story trait, new buildings for storage, food preservation and critter happiness, a sandbox story trait placement tool, expanded critter moods and new cosmetic skins (aka blueprints). These can all be used in both the base game and Spaced Out! DLC.

We also fixed some bugs, and made a new ONI short! Check that out <here.>

An abandoned lab full of decommissioned machinery offers an unexpected new use for Zombie Spores that really puts the "ew" in "renewable energy." Once the musty old equipment is up and running again, the colony can use it to build and grow the necessary components for a mechanical alternative to Duplicant labor. That means fewer Duplicants being sent into hazardous work environments!

The new Dehydrator building is designed to drain all of the moisture out of foods prepared on the Gas Range. Dried foods aren't edible, but they are conveniently non-perishable and don't need to be refrigerated.

When it's time to eat, just send the dried food through the new Rehydrator building to restore its original texture...and most of its flavor.

Critter moods have been revised and expanded. The new Miserable state is for extra-glum critters, and results in Glum levels of metabolism plus zero egg-laying. Critters who are not Happy, Glum or Miserable will feel Satisfied—these will have default metabolism and fertility.
Only Happy critters get a fertility boost.

We've also added new Critter Condo and Water Fort buildings to boost critter happiness, and worked on some long-overdue bug fixes and changes to Pacus that might affect existing ranches.

• New design for messages on the Main Menu screen.
  
• Nearly 50 new blueprints added to the Supply Closet.
  
• New Storage Tile.
  
• New sandbox tool for adding story traits to existing saves.
  
• Added a Rocket Port Extension for Spaced Out! DLC.
  
• Added a search function to more sidescreens.

A new story trait! A new sandbox story trait placement tool! New blueprints! More nuanced Critter moods! New critter buildings! A new Storage Tile! And so much more.

If your mods are breaking or you need a little extra time before switching over, you can opt in to the temporary, unsupported <Previous Update branch>.

Fifty updates later, and we're still loving every moment of this astronomical adventure.

If you have <bug reports> or <feedback>, let us know! We're so glad you're on this ride with us—the ONI universe wouldn't be the same without you.

• If multiple GPUs are installed/active they can be selected from the Config Tab. By such means you can dedicate one GPU to Sclender and another to your game.
  
• You can now select how many processors/cores you use at a time for filtering. Look under the Config Tab.
  
• New filters released: ordered dither scaling, TV color filters and adjustments, vignette filter, posterization/bit depth reduction.

We are excited to announce that our next Time to Morp playtest is now live running from now through to November 20th.

Find "Join the Time to Morp Playtest" on the main page of the game, and press "Request Access" (you will get it immediately).



We would love to hear your feedback so feel free to head over to the Steam forums or our Discord Server and let us know what you think on #feedback channel!

In this update, our primary emphasis was on incorporating player feedback. We have addressed issues, and introduced several features to enhance the overall gaming experience. You will also notice some major visual updates, a lot more decoration items and some improvements and fixes.



Since the last playtest we have added the ability to invite friends to play via the Steam invite system, it has never been easier to invite your friends to play, you can now "Join game" via friends on Steam.



Adorn every space with our latest collection of 170 new decorative items



While we continue to implement full-fledged terraforming, this is an early opportunity for your base customization



The introduction of Next Ready and Next Suggested buttons aims to enhance navigation within the Research tree. We are actively refining the overall navigation experience, and these initial features are designed to provide incremental improvements. Additionally, stay tuned for the upcoming inclusion of a comprehensive search functionality.

Graphics update.
If you want to revert back to the previous Ver 1.3, please use Steam's beta feature.

Hello all! Just a quick post from me to promote a Steam Festival that, as players of Megaquarium, you might be interested in.



Cosy Quest is an event dedicated to cosy games. As the cold nights draw in (at least in the Northern Hemisphere) it's nice to have a few games you can relax with after a tough day.

Deutsche diesel duty comes to port with the forthcoming arrival of the DB BR 642 in Maintalbahn: Aschaffenburg – Miltenberg from November 28th. Pre-order on Steam for a 10% discount!



https://store.steampowered.com/app/2566220/Train_Sim_World_4_Maintalbahn_Aschaffenburg__Miltenberg_Route_AddOn/

Introducing: DB BR 642 DMU



Where we’re going, we don’t need... wires. The DB BR 642, new to Train Sim World, has become common sight in recent decades on rural branch lines, with its diesel power moving passengers on non-electrified routes since their introduction in the late 1990s.



These 2-car multiple units feature an innovative low floor and boarding design for increased accessibility and are mounted upon a shared bogie to improve safety and ride quality. The low floor also gives the 642 its distinctive large windows for ultimate scenic viewing – particularly for passengers travelling along the scenic Main Valley.



With Free Roam a popular feature in Train Sim World 4, players with additional route Add-ons will have the ability to take the 642 elsewhere across the German network too! Though Niddertalbahn in-game may be set in the early 1990s, the DB BR 642 has been in operation along the route in more recent times. Similarly those with Dresden - Riesa (since upgraded for Train Sim World 4 players) may wish to Free Roam the 642 in and around the Dresden area.

Freight Loco: DB BR 363



Joining in on the diesel action is the DB BR 363 shunting locomotive in blue livery, hauling DB Habbiins and Roos-t Wagons. Developed in the late 1950s, this formidable shunter was produced in good numbers, with 942 being delivered by the time production ceased in 1964.



Players of previous German Train Sim World routes will find this locomotive a familiar entry point into exploring the Maintalbahn route and running services in between the passenger trains, negotiating the single-track sections in order to let them through on time.




Located in the westernmost part of Bavaria, the Main Valley winds its way through scenic countryside, with the railway line following the course of the river throughout. This single-track line features a varied service pattern for the DB BR 642 as well as the local freight trains servicing industry in the area.



Aschaffenburg will be familiar to players of the previous Main Spessart Bahn route Add-on, which instead cut across country to join the Main Valley at Gemünden much further along. This portside town is served my multiple stations in addition to Aschaffenburg Hauptbahnhof, which forms the northernmost stop in Maintalbahn.

Fourteen stations in total lie along the route, with Miltenburg forming the southern endpoint for in-game services.

Completing the Tier 2 Mastery Challenge will also add further drama to the scenery, with a ship launch to unlock!




The passenger experience is primarily full length runs. The RB 88 service is roughly hourly and calls at most if not all stations. RE 87 is a semi-fast run, stopping at less stations. There are also shorter shuttles between Aschaffenburg and Aschaffenburg South, and depot/shunt manoeuvres at either end of the line.

The BR 363 shunts freight wagons and delivers them to and from Aschaffenburg port, as well as a couple of mainline runs, split into parts as a result of the single-track necessitating waits for paths, similar to how freight services operate on Niddertalbahn.



Players with Niddertalbahn and Train Sim World 4 will have received the updated red DB livery for the Class 628.2 and this version of the older DMU class will substitute into all of Maintalbahn’s 642 services. The DB BR 612 from Tharandter Rampe also subs into the 642 services.

There’ll also be substitutions with the red liveried DB BR 363 into the freight services for those that own the separate locomotive Add-on.

At Aschaffenburg, there’ll be a series of AI layers from other German Train Sim World routes, including:

• Bremen - Oldenburg: DB BR 425
  
• Kassel - Würzburg: DB BR 401 ICE 1
  
• S-Bahn Vorarlberg: DB BR 185
  
• Railpool BR 193 Vectron
  
• Dresden - Riesa: Zacns Wagons
  
• Main-Spessart Bahn: DB BR 146 and Doppelstock

There’ll be a handful of Scenarios to choose from, including the unique ‘Running on Vapors’ Scenario in which you’ll need to manage your fuel usage to complete your service without running out of fuel! You’ll start with a minimal amount and will have to fill up once you get to a refuelling point.

Train Sim World 4: Maintalbahn: Aschaffenburg – Miltenberg route Add-on will be available from November 28th for €29.99/£24.99/$29.99

You can pre-order the route now on Steam with 10% off!

Join the Railfan TV team on Twitch and YouTube at 18:00 UTC on Tuesday November 21st for a preview of Train Sim World 4: Maintalbahn: Aschaffenburg – Miltenberg.

So far, we’ve told you all about the fast-paced side of Dungeons of Hinterberg: exploring dungeons, fighting monsters, being a social butterfly. But sometimes, you just need to take a step back and chill. In fact, in Hinterberg, it’s encouraged – we’re all about balance here. Relaxing is an important part of any holiday and will even make you a better slayer!

In the village, you will have the opportunity to explore solo. You could take in a film at the Kino – there’s always something new to see, and certain films might even help you later in your journey…

Or maybe you want to make the most of that fresh Alpine air! You could always go for a peaceful trip on the lake by renting a boat and taking in the beautiful village from afar. Or you can grab a drink and unwind on the terrace of your hotel, overlooking the village and listening to the merriment down below you.

Maybe you'd prefer relaxation in the classic sense and would benefit from a trip to the spa, chilling out in the hot tub!

There are also chances to loosen up outside of the village. If you’re deep in the forest, you might just stumble across a cosy cushion just begging you to get comfy and meditate for the afternoon!

We want to make sure that while you’re having the slaycation of a lifetime in Hinterberg, you’re also taking some time for yourself! This balance is just one of the ways you can become an even more remarkable slayer!

MALWARE Rewritten patch 1.0.5 has been released.

• Added autofire.
  
• Changed difficulty text (CASUAL->NORMAL, NORMAL->HARD, HARD->EXTREME)
  
• (Hopefully) Covered some various spots around areas that would cause the player to get out of bounds.
  
• Player's life counter now resets back to 3 on (Now HARD) difficulty at the start if each level in case if they have less.
  
• Added some gravity reset areas around levels with inverted gravity to prevent players from going to irrelevant areas.
  
• Fixed player dying because of a "collision" with beams when they shouldn't collide.

After some thinking, the game is indeed way more enjoyable to play on casual than it is on "normal" mode, while normal difficulty was the intended way to play, it heavily relied on the player already knowing what to do and, was kind of hard because of that. Figuring it was kind of, wrong, the difficulty names have been changed so that casual difficulty is now THE normal difficulty to start with.

And a reminder, there are no bonuses for playing on different difficulties, and no achievements tied to them too.

Bonjour Meloamis!
