Dear Stormworkers,
The next major update is coming on Wednesday 15th May at 16:30 UTC.
On the discord feature poll, you asked us for cameras, monitors, and radio equipment, these were the highest voted features. Over the last 6 weeks we have been hard at work adding these new features to the game.
And then, we added some more stuff too, such as lua programming blocks, custom screen UI rendering, and night vision.
Here are the details:
Cameras and Monitors
New camera and monitor blocks allow the player to view video feeds in game. Monitors display a video feed, allowing new control station and cockpit designs.
Night Vision
Infrared mode on cameras allow camera vision in low light conditions. Extended vision is possible through the use of IR band point and spot lights.
Radio Transmission
Data can now be transmitted over the air for connecting logic and remote control between separate vehicles. 6 new antennas allow data transmission over different ranges for composite signals and video.
Lua Programming
A new microprocessor block allows injecting lua scripts into your microprocessors. This allows for programs to be built within the logic units. The lua interface can output to a composite signal, and also add UI to a video signal for rendering overlays over video.
We can't wait to share this update with you on the launch of Major Update #6. Thank you to all who have provided your thoughts and feedback and helped make this update happen.
We are just adding the finishing touches. There is no minor update this week or next week as we complete this update.
Much love <3
The Stormworks Developers
