Dear Stormworkers,
This week we are releasing several important bug fixes and quality improvements to Stormworks that are much needed and long overdue!
We have begun looking at some of the issues with the world and environment assets, and have been improving the in-game islands. Expect fixes where the island physics may not have been correct or geometry was out of place!
We have also been improving the content generally, including some smoothing to some of the terrain and improving the height difference between airstrip runways and the surrounding land.
There is also a long list of other important bug fixes, including multiplayer and dedicated server issues. See the change notes below for details!
As always, much credit goes to the many players who are giving feedback and reporting issues through the official issue tracker. This is very valuable thanks to the many detailed and clear reports so thank you again.
These fixes will continue to arrive! We are continuing to improve our processes and are giving ourselves more time to internally test changes to the game. This has the effect that last minutes changes are much rarer now, and so changes to the game are tested more thoroughly. This also means that there are many more fixes already implemented that are currently going though our new quality processes and will be included in future releases.
We hope these new fixes improve your experience and we look forward to your feedback!
Much love <3,
The Stormworks Developers

Knowns issues:
- 1 or 2 locations required larger fixes, and this may cause some problems for old saves only at these locations.
- a small number of players have experienced poor performance near the Beginner Outpost. This may be due to older versions of the game having an issue.
Both can be fixed by starting a new game.
