October 04, 2025
Ostranauts, the intense noir space-sim game where every decision has consequences, has released a critical update to enhance gameplay stability and crew management. The v0.14.5.10 hotfix addresses issues introduced in the 'Inventory Overhaul' update, ensuring smoother operations for players.
Key Updates:
- Characters no longer permanently softlock when receiving permanent conditions during fast-forward, preventing abrupt gameplay halts.
- Crew members, excluding the captain, can now independently pick up items, improving their autonomy and enhancing the crew management experience.
- Tutorials are more resilient to interruptions; saving or reloading during tutorials no longer disrupts the tutorial sequence, ensuring a seamless learning curve for new players.
Bug Fixes:
- Resolved an issue causing characters to softlock due to permanent conditions without expiration during fast-forward, restoring fluid gameplay progression.
- Crew members now use their own reach range when picking up items, preventing situations where they couldn't collect items if too far from the captain.
- Addressed a bug that caused tutorials to break upon saving, quitting, and reloading, ensuring consistent tutorial experiences moving forward.
