Dear Stormworkers,
This week's minor update brings a load of fixes and a new type of sensor for your vehicles!
An angular speed sensor has been added that detects the rotational speed around its axis. This will be a useful component for players building their own gyroscopes and stabilisation systems, making it much easier to detect how fast a vehicle might be pitching or rolling around a certain axis.
We are also continuing our efforts to improve the quality of the game, with another slew of bugs from the recent optimisation update being resolved in this patch, along with a number of quality of life improvements.
See below for the full changelog. If you find a bug or want to submit an idea for a future weekly update, don't forget to open a ticket on the Stormworks issue tracker website. This can be accessed using the buttons on the main menu and pause menu in-game.
If you're in the UK, enjoy the bank holiday! And to everyone else, have a great weekend <3
The Stormworks Developers
