The wonderful Oxygen Not Included from Klei Entertainment has seen a big free update released, which also brings with it full support for the Steam Deck and it's now Verified.
Klei said they spent a few months improving performance for both the base game and the DLC, along with lots of tweaks that might not be noticed individually but altogether it should add up to a much more playable game overall especially later on when there's lots going on.

Wow, this is so much better now. Went from around 20GB of ram to 7. Also seeing a lot less input lag spikes (if any) :-)

Has anyone played it on the deck and have any recommendations? I will try. Had started on the laptop. It went very well. But even the laptop is too cumbersome when lying in bed.
