Dear Stormworkers,
We have just added 2 new game mode options to the game:
Limited Fuel
With this mode, vehicles will spawn without fuel and require fueling at the fuel stores at base. These stores contain 13,500 litres of diesel, and are found on all player islands. They will not refill themselves, but you can buy fuel from the oil refinery island in the dock area. This mode requires players to build their own fuel infrastructure as they progress further into their career games, as well as carefully manage their fuel resources.
Perma-death
The new perma-death mode means you only have a single life and are unable to respawn in your game. Saving is limited to only a single file, which is deleted on death, meaning you cannot return to a checkpoint. The stakes have been raised and death is no longer an option as you struggle to survive the many threats in your Stormworks career.
We are really excited about the impact this weeks minor update has on your experiences playing the game, and hope you enjoy the new game modes.
We are continuing work on the major update which is getting close, and have some great minor updates planned for you in the mean time.
Much Love <3
The Stormworkers Developers
