Dear Stormworkers,
It's time to build your own base buildings!
We have added 3 small islands with fixed edit grids, so you can design buildings using the same tools used for designing vehicles! When spawned, the building is statically anchored to the ground!
Other locations are now purchasable in career mode, as well as new fast-travel locations.
We have also made loads of quality improvements this week including docking door improvements and more multiplayer.
We hope you enjoy this new version and can't wait to share more on the upcoming major update soon :-)
Much love <3
The Stormworks Developers
