Dear Stormworkers,
Along with many multiplayer improvements, we have also redesigned the fluid pipes system, and added new fluid valves and parts!
This week the main priority was multiplayer quality improvements, and thank you to all of you who gave your feedback and have helped with this process. If you have more feedback for us, please let us know as we continue to work hard on any quality issues!
The new fluid system now just has a single logic node for input and output rather than separate types. Link any fluid nodes together to connect them, and connections flood along all lines for the many-to-many relationship between nodes.
The new valves are useful for managing flow of water in your ballast and fire fighting designs, and water cannons now fire further based on the pressure that is feeding them!
Also note that we have replaced the term "water" with "fluid". Could this be because we plan on using the same system for other fluid types in the future? :-)
Next week we have some ideas for the minor update but no decision has been made so please let us know your suggestions in the comments below!
Much love <3
The Stormworks Developers
