Dear Stormworkers,
This week's minor update brings a set of features that we see frequently requested within the community - custom sealable doors!
A selection of door frame components let you build a custom doorway opening. This will behave in the same way as regular doors that have been opened, enabling the creation of open-hull boat designs. Water will flood the area on the inside when it goes below the water line in the same way as existing doors.
New door panel components let you build a custom door panel to seal your frame. When a frame is sealed with a panel of the correct shape and size, it will form a seal. This means you can now build large cargo doors that will prevent water from entering the interior areas of your ship when closed!
For a full list of fixes and features in this patch, see the changelog below.
We're continuing to work on the next major update, and can't wait to share more information about the new features in the coming weeks.
Much love <3
The Stormworks Developers
