PayPalKlei are back with a brand new big update to Oxygen Not Included, after they decided not to do any more paid DLC so this is the first of many free updates to come. Plus a fancy new animated short.
With the new release they added in a "Story Trait System", which gives you a collection of interactive POIs (point of interest) burief inside the asteroids to find. The first two are: the Somnium Synthesizer harnesses the power of Duplicants’ subconscious minds by unlocking their ability to dream for the very first time, while the Critter Flux-O-Matic offers a new way to roll the dice on critter morph outcomes.
Additionally there's a new Kitchen room, with a Spice Grinder to enhance food. Plus some additions for people who own the Spaced Out DLC.

Recently they also put up a roadmap which sounds quite exciting.

A cosmetic system like in Don't Starve Together is also in the works, which they hope will help fund more free updates instead of DLC.
