After their first exciting foray into space the Duplicants have been eager to learn more about the universe in which they live. Their dedicated space research has brought on a wave of technological innovation, and using the rocketry advancements now at their disposal the Duplicants can fly further into the unknown than ever before. They might even bring some strange new things back for their trouble!
Introducing: Oxygen Not Included - Space Industry Upgrade!
What's New?
An expanded starmap means Duplicants can venture even further out into space, reaching far off locations until now unseen where several powerful new materials are waiting to be collected.
Key Features

Advanced material fabrication pushes the limits of physics
- New Molecular Forge converts rare materials into industrial supermaterials
- New Thermium, used as an industrial super conductor material
- New industrial-grade Insulation
- New Fullerene-based Super Coolant
- Gelatinous, kinetic energy-dampening Visco-Gel
Jet Suits enable extreme Duplicant mobility
