PATCH NOTES FOR AUGUST 20, 2026.
HOUSING
New Infrastructure Collection
Added a new Infrastructure furnishing category with 28 modular pieces for creating industrial rooms, exposed utility walls, maintenance areas, and custom pipe layouts.
The new collection includes:
• Short, long, vertical, and ribbed conduits
• Small and large elbow variations
• T-junctions and cross junctions
• Couplers, pipe caps, bends, and risers
Compatible Infrastructure pieces now snap together automatically at their open connection points while being placed or moved. The placement frame turns green when a connection is secured, making larger pipe layouts easier to assemble and rearrange.
All new items include localized names and descriptions across every language currently supported by Housing.
Housing Interface and Feedback Improvements
Improved purchase, placement, and crafting feedback throughout Housing.
This update includes:
• Clearer affordability feedback on room and furnishing cards
• More useful messages showing exactly which resources are missing
• Visual feedback on the relevant resource counter when an action cannot be completed
• A functional Digital Clock that now displays the current local time
DISPLAY SETTINGS
Expanded Resolution and Display Options
Rebuilt the Display settings menu to provide more control across different monitors and devices.
The game now detects the resolutions supported by your display and presents them in a complete scrollable list. Your native resolution is marked as recommended, while the currently active resolution is clearly identified.
This update also includes:
• A direct choice between Borderless Fullscreen and Windowed modes
• Saved resolution and display-mode preferences between play sessions
• Improved keyboard and controller navigation throughout the Display menu
• Automatic scrolling that keeps the selected resolution visible
• Native 1280 x 800 handling for Steam Deck
