Dear Stormworkers,
This weeks update goes out in honour to all the Stormworks builders making walking vehicles!
We are adding a new "friction block" that is a sort of rubber pad that has very high friction. While it is intended for walking robots, there is actually a wide range of potential applications where you want a creation to stick to a surface rather than slide around such as feet for containers, grabbing claws, stabilizer legs, and more.
This is a highly physical and generalized block, and we expect players to find many more applications and uses for it.
We have been blown away by some of the incredible walkers produced by the community. The logic being made by the community is really impressive, and we hope this new block is a help to these creators.
This week, we also bring a series of updates, improvements and bug fixes, please see below for the full list of changes and fixes.
Next week, we plan to announce the release date for the next major update! We are really looking forward to this release, the new power sources are interesting to build, the coal handling mechanics are really fun, and the dangers of radiation add a new consequence and peril to the game.
We look forward to your thoughts and feedback in the comments!
Much love <3,
The Stormworks Developers
