Stormworks: Build and Rescue News

Dear Stormworkers,

Todays update introduces new trailer based cargo missions!

As part of our ongoing mission to improve mission content in Stormworks, we are expanding the cargo missions system to include a series of new types of cargo and locations. Load and transport logs with your own logging truck, or take your heavy goods vehicle to transport goods trailers between farms, terminals, sawmills, and other industrial locations.



After many player requests, we are have increased the lua character limit to 8192 in this update.

We have made several other quality improvements and fixes in this update. Please see the patch notes below for details.



We are breaking soon for the winter holidays and the next minor update is due on 15th January - and its going to be a great update with a very interesting new component. Be sure to check back in with us in the new year for this update.

We hope you enjoy this new update, and happy holidays!



Much love
The Stormworks Developers

Dear Stormworkers,

This weeks minor update introduces a new component - the rotating safety light. This component has been requested by players for creating some specific emergency or maintenance vehicles.

This isn't just a small component update, but also includes several important fixes and improvements. Please see the patch notes below for details.



We have been reviewing plans and player feedback, as well as working hard on many new updates. In the new year, our goal is to spend longer on some minor updates, adding some of the features and components that players want but have been too large for a previous minor update. There are some really exciting new components and features on the way that will add a huge amount to the game and how you play Stormworks.



We plan to release a roadmap soon covering our plans for the first half of 2025!

As requested by players, we are also launching a new "complete the set" bundle with a permanent discount of 15% when buying the remaining Stormworks game and DLCs. More info below.

We look forward to your feedback on this new update.

Much love
The Stormworks Developers
