Dear Stormworkers,

It is update week! This week we have one small feature - end effectors can now cut ropes!

We have also replaced grass with snow for the xmas event, which has been frequently requested, and was in such high demand that one player (briish) even managed to mod this into the game themselves! Very impressive.



During the xmas event each year, some decorations will appear at bases, rain will render as snow, NPCs will often dress up in seasonal outfits, and now the grass and trees will appear with snow. This event is locked based on the date.

Otherwise, this update is mostly bug fixes and improvements. Please see below for the full list of changes.



Behind the scenes, we have finished the framework for the vehicle unit testing system, and are now working on creating the unit test vehicles.

As we discussed last week, we have a big list of stuff to work through and will be releasing minor updates with fixes every 2 weeks as normal.



We look forward to your thoughts and feedback on the new update!

Much love <3,

The Stormworks Developers
