Dear Stormworkers,
This week we are adding a set of new parts - turret ring bearings! These are velocity pivots with a hole through the middle. The holes in the bearings are considered doors (for the purposes of compartments and flooding) and are connected to each other - so you can now have a rotating coupling where moving parts can remain water-tight.
The turret rings come in small, medium and large sizes.
We have a host of other changes in this update that will be important to a lot of players. These changes include reworking cannons so their shells have a much longer life and more appropriate physical behaviour, allowing for high trajectory firing.
We are also doing another Questions and Answers video soon. In these videos we go through player-submitted questions and answer as many as we can! Submit your question here! Please submit just one clear and concise question.
There is big list of other changes including important fixes and improvements. Please see the list below for the full details.
It has been another exciting week with new and incredible user-creations showing up on the workshop! We are blown away with these player designs and how quickly players have got to grips with the new parts and their creative applications.
We have loads more updates and improvements planned and are actively using the new issue tracker to communicate and deliver these changes. We are also planning on doing another poll soon to get general feedback on the future direction of updates. We are also planning several dedicated bug-fix updates in the weeks and months to come.
Much love <3,
The Stormworks Developers
