Hey Colonists!
We've pushed a big stability and polish pass to One Lonely Outpost: safer saves, a long list of crash fixes, and dozens of quality-of-life improvements across quests, gameplay, and performance. Here's everything in this update:
Saves
Your save can no longer be corrupted or lost if the game crashes or closes mid-save. Saves are now written safely, and a backup is kept automatically.
Crash Fixes
Fixed a crash when interacting with an Omninac incubator.
Fixed a crash that fired repeatedly once all scheduled mail had been delivered.
Fixed crashes in daily weather generation when a season had no weather deck, or an empty one.
Fixed a crash when starting drone fishing in water with no available fish.
Fixed crashes when powered structures (cookers, fabricators, the omniforge, generators, animal houses) were set up with a missing part.
Fixed an animal spawning into an area that had not finished loading.
Fixed errors when interacting with pet houses.
Progression & Quests
Fixed a softlock where quitting during certain story conversations could permanently stall a quest after reloading, including the questline that unlocks the mine. Quests now remember that a conversation finished.
Fixed input freezing after a cutscene ended unexpectedly, which could leave you unable to reach the end-of-day screen.
Fixed menus becoming permanently inaccessible (a softlock that previously forced a manual quit).
Gameplay
Festival celebration rewards are no longer lost when your inventory is full. Overflow rewards are now delivered to your mailbox.
Reloading a save no longer duplicates placed objects such as pet houses and items.
Your money can no longer drop below zero.
Weather effects now play correctly. Thunder, lightning, rain/snow/dust, and solar storms were previously not appearing.
Your companion now settles when you approach it, so you can interact with it instead of chasing it, and it no longer steals the interaction from the tile you're trying to use.
Bug catching now shows clear feedback (a red cursor) when a bug is spooked and can't be caught.
Animals are less likely to escape fenced areas, with tighter wandering and no more slipping diagonally through fence corners.
The Omnitool's gust no longer destroys placed objects.
Gifting an NPC no longer consumes your only copy of a key or lore item.
Settings & UI
Volume and other settings now reliably save between sessions.
Removed a leftover "Errr" placeholder shown for unbound keys on the controls screen.
Performance
Fixed lag and stutter that built up over long play sessions and previously cleared only after a save-and-reload.
Text
Fixed player-facing spelling (Synthetic Meat/Milk, Piranhafish, Xenoarchaeology, and more).
Thank you for playing, and for the reports that made this pass possible. See you on the outpost.
