Ostranauts Update v0.14.5.17 Overhauls Sprites and Interface Logic

Ostranauts update v0.14.5.17 delivers new item sprites, UI confirmations, and scrolling tooltip lists. The hotfix addresses inventory handling, navigation label overlaps, and settings management.

Blue Bottle Games has released update v0.14.5.17 for Ostranauts on Steam. Acting as a hotfix for the inventory overhaul, this patch brings a large batch of fresh item sprites, community-requested interface additions, and bug fixes.

Sprite Additions

The update adds new item sprite art for food, drinks, medical injectors, EVA supplies, batteries, and oxygen candles. This continues the development team's effort to provide clearer artwork for smaller consumable items.

Interface Adjustments

Main menu and quit buttons now require confirmation before closing the game. A new reset button in the options screen allows players to restore default game settings instantly. In the navigation station, ship labels adjust automatically to prevent overlapping in crowded areas, and the user interface no longer closes after using super fast-forward and unpausing.

Inventory and Tooltip Fixes

The MegaTooltip no longer blocks world clicks where it is invisible, and its item list now features a scrollbar instead of stretching down the screen. Dropping an item onto an incompatible slot no longer traps it behind the inventory UI, and training manuals now report and display the correct skills.

Why this patch matters

This hotfix tackles UI frustrations and visual clarity issues while the studio pivots its primary focus toward future development.
