Stormworks: Build and Rescue News

Dear Stormworkers,

This update introduces the new saddle seat! This is a new seat type useful for bikes, jet skis, snowmobiles, etc. Both seat only and seat with handlebar variants are included.



As well as these new parts, we have added new torque connectors similar to electric connectors. These are requested by players and useful in situations where you want a flexible power link. We have also added a small robotic part which can transmit torque.



We have also added the name label to handles and viewing scopes for helping players annotate their creations.

Please see the patch notes below for details in this new update. We look forward to your thoughts and feedback.



Much love

Dear Stormworkers,

This update introduces the new firefighter outfit with self-contained breathing apparatus. This new outfit is useful when going into a sealed vehicle compartment where there is a fire - fire consumes oxygen and produces harmful fumes, and when the fire goes on for long enough, it can become harmful to breath inside one of these enclosed spaces. This outfit provides the ability to breath in these smokey spaces.

We have also introduced another new feature - the release logic node on train wheels. It is now possible to use logic to dismount trains and rolling stock from tracks. Players have been requesting this, with the intention of lifting trains between tracks, or moving them onto ships for transport. Other players are interested in making trucks that can ride tracks.



Many more of the animals and creatures in the world can now be carried if they are an appropriate size. We have also added a new preset of a trailer, as well as adding new fire missions content.

Please see the patch notes below for full info including other fixes and improvements.



We hope you enjoy this new update and look forward to your feedback!

Much love

Dear Stormworkers,

For Search & Destroy Weapons DLC owners, this update introduces enemy NPCs equipped with weapons, as well as new capabilities for enemy AI vehicles.

Players have long been requesting updates for the Weapons DLC. This update introduces the ability for NPC characters to be equipped with weapons, and assigned a hostile state, to engage specific characters and vehicles. This functionality is available to all modders via the lua API.



We have also implemented this new feature in our own enemy AI add on, introducing some enemy infantry to some locations.

We have updated the enemy vehicles to include other weapons such as radar seeking missiles, and rockets.

As well as these new features, we have also added some additional fixes and improvements. Please see patch notes below for info.



We look forward to your thoughts and feedback and hope you enjoy these new updates!

Much love

Dear Stormworkers,

The Sailing Major Update is out now!

Vehicles with sails are now possible with the new sail anchors - link 4 anchors together with ropes to generate a sail. In the style of Stormworks, these new parts are modular so players can use and arrange them as they wish to create a huge variety of styles, setups, and creations. The sails will mechanically respond to the wind, with various physical effects including a wing-type effect when the sail cuts through the wind at a fine angle. In our testing, sail boats can travel at the top end of realistic speeds in moderate wind.



Keels have been added as a companion component to sails, to help balance ships and keep masts upright despite the wind force pressing on the sails.

New flags are available in multiple sizes and can have their pattern set in the properties.

Check out the new sail boat preset for an overview of the setup of a working boat. As in real life, an efficient sailing boat design is finely tuned and it is easy to create a poorly balanced or proportioned vessel, and many real world sailing boat design considerations will come into play.



We look forward to your feedback on this new update!

Much love
The Stormworks Developers

Patch Notes

v1.14.0

Feature - #2619 #2460 Sails, Flags and Keels

Sails can be formed with 4 Sail anchors in a square, similar to fishing nets.
The logic node on the sail anchor allows the sail to dynamically adjust its size to fit the anchor positions.
A Keel is required to balance the rotational force of the sails on the boat.
Flags come with a large variety of preset options and are texture driven so can be overridden by a mod.
