Dear Stormworkers,
The New Radar Detector Block
This week we add a single component while our focus remains on v1.0 with less than 7 weeks to go before the big release!
We are adding the radar detector block. This new component detects when radar is actively interrogating the block. This completes the radar components set, allows you to detect nearby radar systems, and indicates your own radar visibility.
The New Telemetry API
Following the previous telemetry minor update, we discussed this feature with the community and revised the feature so that it allows simple HTTP GET communication, only with the your own PC. This means you can be confident that any workshop items that you download does not have access to your local network and cannot use your internet connection, which was a major concern for some players.
If you wish to communicate with network or internet resources, this can easily be done by running your own script or program outside of Stormworks that can talk to Stormworks using the new telemetry API. This also means any use of your network or internet is explicit and you are entirely in control of your connection.
Fixes
We have also been working hard on bugs and fixes, and several important issues are resolved with this update and previous hot fixes over the last couple of weeks. This includes a fix for a major cause of crashes in multiplayer. We continue to work hard on these quality improvements and are investing a lot of time and energy into continuing to improve the quality and stability of Stormworks.
V1.0
Following some confusion, we will make clear - if you have bought Stormworks, you own Stormworks and will not have to buy it again when the new update comes out!
As always, we continue to work hard on the upcoming v1.0 update. Thank you to everyone who sent us messages of support, we really appreciate it, and makes all the work much easier :-)
Much love <3,
The Stormworks Developers
