The most significant change in this patch revolves around how plants handle their operational states. Previously, players noticed an exploit or a bug where plants would remain active even after running out of fertilizer upon loading a save file. This fix ensures that your agricultural setups now respect resource limits correctly, preventing "free" growth that could throw off the delicate resource balance of your asteroid.
For the global community, this update also resolves a frustrating font rendering issue. Cyrillic characters were previously displaying incorrectly, which made navigation and logistics management difficult for a large portion of the player base. This fix brings the UI back to full clarity for those users.
Stability remains a priority for the developers as well. This build includes a potential fix for a crash that occurred when players tried to access specific entries in the element database. Given how often we dive into the database to check melting points or thermal conductivity, this fix is a welcome relief for those deep-theory crafting sessions.
While this is a smaller hotfix compared to major content drops, it addresses the technical debt that keeps the complex physics simulation running smoothly. Keeping your plants honest and your database accessible is key to long-term survival in the harsh environments of Oxygen Not Included.
