The Evans Update for colony sim Surviving Mars is now live. A look at its patch notes reveals a smaller number of fixes addressing issues for both the base game and its DLCs.
One issue that should no longer occur after the Evans Update is that of colonists suffocating when moving between domes that are relatively close to each other.

We don’t know much about the title yet, aside from the fact that it will be a post-apocalyptic colony sim, but more will be revealed on October 19, during PDXCON 2019.
