I decided to add a fun little feature.

You can now toggle photo mode with F11, allowing you to take screenshots of your pets as well as adjust camera options like lighting, depth of field, colour contrast, and more.

I've made Photo Mode work with both the Home Island as well as in-game. In future, Photo Mode may pause the game so that you can take nice screenshots leisurely.

Here are some photos I took of the Home Island using Photo Mode!

Hi all!

I'm excited to give you a first look at the Tundra biome — the first of three new maps being added to Stormbridge!

You'll build across this frozen wasteland that's not just beautiful but brutal.
And survival here means adapting...fast.





After finding Faraday’s Lab at the edge of the sea, you board his boat....



You begin your journey, sailing off across the pristine blue.



Soon, tropical sounds give way to a gentle hush, and the breeze turns crisp.
Your breath starts to cloud softly in the air, and a shiver runs down your spine.

You are now stuck in the tundra.





Fishing won't work, cranes have trouble poking through ice, and your electric burners can't burn as efficiently.

You'll need new strategies - old tricks don't work here.



How will you help your settlers to adapt?




Tend to hardy new crops that shrug off frost and keep your settlers fed, even when the ground turns to ice.




Unlock snug, warm buildings where your settlers can rest, recover, and escape the biting cold.




Grow cotton and spin it into warm clothes — because a well-dressed settler is a healthy, happy one.




Fishing may be gone, but not all hope is lost! These chilly companions can help you...but only if you can befriend them!




The storm looks different here...

Introducing a fresh new threat - say goodbye to lightning and say hello the ice lance.




Your tundra mission: uncover and build Faraday’s mysterious “Air Engine.”

But your only clue appears to be this blueprint...
Can you decipher it in time to power through the cold?





[h2]Got any ideas of what you want to see in the tundra? Lemme know your thoughts here or over on Discord![/h2]
