Dear Stormworkers,
This week we are adding more building editor tools and new missions to Stormworks!
You can now save and load buildings with the editor, as well as view the building in the world as you edit it. We have reworked the editable building areas too.
There is also some new mission content, from simple search and rescue to complex fire fighting and aircraft crash response.
As always, the weekly update comes with a long list of fixes and improvements, and we are continuing to improve the game, including multiplayer, all the time.
If you do see any problems with the game, please make sure we know about it using the "report bug" buttons in game, to help us continue to improve the game :-)
Much love <3
The Stormworks Developers
