Dear Stormworkers,

We are launching new merchandise!

Check out the new Geometa store on TeeSpring here.



Several players have asked for the return of Stormworks merchandise, so we are pleased to relaunch. Many also asked for items for their kids, so we have also added some baby and kids sized items.

While we have previously made updates for train enthusiasts, truckers, sports fishermen, amateur astronauts, and even volcanologists, there are presumably some players wondering: what is there for the niche crossover between Stormworks players and dog owners?

This is something we have been considering! Please see the new "Dog Breeds of Stormworks" design for you and your good boy.



What happened to the old Redbubble merch?

We are not sure. I think its a common scam on Redbubble where a scammer DMCA's popular content, and if it gets removed (our notice email must have gone to spam) then the scammer bot uploads the stolen designs to its own store. We have managed to remove all the stolen content on Redbubble but we think TeeSpring is probably better.

How much do you make from Merch?

We have set up the TeeSpring store with the default prices, which is typically $6 or $7 profit per item. With Redbubble we were not selling many items, and it probably less than 0.1% of our business. This isn't about generating revenue, its because it is something that some players have asked for, we enjoy making the designs, and because we think its a good service to provide the players who want it.

If this is something you have been looking for, then great! Otherwise, call back next week for the next minor update!

v1.11.3 (Hotfix)

Fix - "Refuel and repair" missions not completing correctly
Fix - tow_vehicle type missions not generating sub-objectives correctly
Fix - Some default refuel mission boats incorrect fuel tank name

Dear Stormworkers,

This week, we introduce refuelling missions!

These new lower priority missions involve vehicles and crews who are low on fuel requiring resupply. Deliver and transfer the required fuel type to resolve their emergency.



As well as these new missions, are several fixes and improvements, including a couple of issues that could result in AI vehicles being spawned below the floor, causing poor performance when nearby one of these AI vehicles. Mission and add-on fixes are only applied after starting a new game, as these scripts are part of the game-save file.

Please see the patch notes below for full details.

Many thanks to all those who joined for last weeks live questions and answers stream! There were loads of great questions and it was great fun to chat to the community.



You can view the stream on Captain Cockerels YT channel, where he has kindly indexed the questions with time codes in the description.

We hope you enjoy the new missions and improvements!

Much love
