Dear Stormworkers,
As promised, this week the minor update is hotly requested... it's new seats!
You now have a pilot seat without the foot wells, drivers seat with steering wheel, and very compact bench seat for fitting seats in new, more compact ways.
Seats also now include a composite output to easily attach seats into microprocessors.
The experimental changes are also being released into the main branch, so all players will now benefit from the new experimental features! If you are struggling to download the new v0.8.10, try restarting Steam.
Thank you to everyone who played the experimental branch and gave us feedback, this was hugely useful and helped us improve the quality of that version of Stormworks enormously.
We look forward to hearing your feedback on the new seats!
Much love <3,
The Stormworks Developers
