Stormworks: Build and Rescue News

Dear Stormworkers,

In this update, we have added new machine gun ammo boxes with 400 round capacity! For S&D DLC owners, the small machine gun will now be able to sustain fire for longer.

We have added new pivots allowing to pass fluid and torque. These are a useful change for many vehicle building situations and complete the set of pivot parts.



Keels now have a power slider to help sail boat creators to better tune their creations.

We have also made some improvements and bug fixes which are explained in the patch notes below.

Work continues on Stormworks updates and we are already working on many updates, well into 2026. Many thanks to all the players who have given feedback and provided detailed issues on the support site! This has been a big help in identifying and fixing issues in the game.



Much love
The Stormworks Developers

[p][/p][p][/p][p]Dear Stormworkers, [/p][p][/p][p]This update extends the new flexible ammo belt concept to hoppers! We have added a new belt part for connecting hoppers together, making it easier to build any ore, mining, or fishing equipment.

As well as this, we have added a new toggle to allow or disallow modded components in servers. We have also added a new electric node to some of the train wheels, to assist some players make electric trains. This was requested during the recent Q&A session.

We have also resolved a performance issue where the game previously slowed down over time.

Dear Stormworkers,

This update introduces new flexible ammo belts for guns! Like all weapons content, they can be placed cosmetically in the base game but require the Search & Destroy DLC to operate.

These new belt components can be placed like regular components, then linked together using the rope tool. This generates a flexible chain of links in the ammo chain. This is a long requested feature, and has been asked for since before the Search and Destroy DLC was even released!



We have also added a new node for detaching ropes from winches and some anchors using logic.

We have also made some minor fixes and improvements, please see the patch notes below for details.

Much love
The Stormworks Developers
