PATCH NOTES FOR AUGUST 23, 2026.

HOUSING

New Utility Furnishings

Added four new furnishings to help bring kitchens, break rooms, and living spaces to life:

• Coffee Maker
• Compact Microwave
• Refrigerator
• Water Dispenser

All four items include localized names and descriptions across every language currently supported by Housing.

Clearer Blueprint Discovery

Improved how newly discovered blueprints are presented in the Housing catalog, making new crafting opportunities easier to spot at a glance.

This update includes:

• New badges on discovered furnishings that have not yet been crafted
• Matching badges on categories containing a new blueprint
• Clearer indicators for craftable blueprints and missing materials
• Improved text contrast and readability across blueprint cards
• Badges that update immediately after crafting an item
• Better positioning for favorite stars when another badge is present

DISPLAY SETTINGS

Resolution and Fullscreen Improvements

Refined resolution and fullscreen behavior to provide a more consistent presentation across different desktop display setups.

Desktop resolution choices are now standardized around five supported 16:9 options:

• 1280 x 720
• 1600 x 900
• 1920 x 1080
• 2560 x 1440
• 3840 x 2160

1920 x 1080 remains the recommended default, while Steam Deck continues to use its native 1280 x 800 resolution.

We have also improved how fullscreen and resolution preferences are applied and saved, with clearer localized labels throughout the Display menu.

THANK YOU FOR THE FEEDBACK

Many of the improvements in today's update came directly from community feedback.

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to report issues and share suggestions. Your feedback helps us prioritize improvements and continue making Beyond Solar a better experience with every update.
