Stormworks: Build and Rescue News

Dear Stormworkers,

On Saturday, we are announcing our new game, showing the trailer, answering your questions, and playing live.

Please join us! Click "Set a reminder" on the side bar and join the live stream here on the Stormworks store page.

This is the biggest announcement we will have ever made. We have been working on this new game for 5 years so there is a lot to discuss.

If you haven't seen our previous announcements about the new game then here is a summary:

This game isn't going to be Stormworks 2. While being inspired by Stormworks and the communities feedback, it is a very different game and does not replace Stormworks.

We are continuing to support and develop Stormworks. We have managed to develop the new game in parallel to Stormworks for the last 5 years, and that will continue. Expect more updates for Stormworks into the future, as normal.

The new game is a vehicle building survival game. The vehicle building is very different. It is more detailed, more involved, better for small vehicles, and worse for huge ones.



Please do join us! We will be releasing a huge amount of info and can't wait to share and get your feedback.

Much love
The Stormworks Developers

Dear Stormworkers,

In this minor update, we have added some new buoyancy blocks. The existing buoyancy block was just a capsule - these new blocks are some corner and edge pieces, intended for use on medium sized vehicles.



A common application for these blocks are sea planes, and they have been designed based on player requests. This will hopefully solve common issues when designing sea planes. We expect there will be other block designs that players need for different types of vehicles and different contexts. While we don't want to start adding every possible shape of block, we are happy to consider other contexts. If you have suggestions, please make a feature request on the issue tracker!



As well as these blocks, we have added several fixes for issues reported on the support tracker. Thanks to all players who have given detailed reports and helped us identify these problems.

We hope you enjoy this new update!

Much love
The Stormworks Developers

Dear Stormworkers,

In this update, we have added layered microcontroller nodes! This allows nodes of different types to be placed in the same voxel, meaning microcontrollers can be more compact.

When designing the node layout on your microcontroller, the interface remains similar. The key difference is that now nodes on different layers can now be placed in the same voxel. For example, a composite node can be placed on the same voxel as an on/off node.



As well as this update are various fixes and improvements. Please see the notes below for full details.

Much love

Dear Stormworkers,

This is a long-requested feature and is very useful for players which huge number of creations or large numbers of subscriptions.

Players can create folders, then assign vehicles to those folders, as well as filtering the screen to creations only in that folder.
