Dear Stormworkers,
Next week, on 14th August 2024 at 16:00 UTC, we will release the next major update - pot fishing and advanced line fishing.
Check out our previous announcement for the initial info.
What else to expect?
New Crustaceans
Lobsters and crabs are new sea creatures that can navigate the ocean floor, as well as above water on the shores.
There are many varieties, from the Panulirus ornatus lobster, to the spider crab. Each variety are found in different locations and hold different market values.
They can be caught in pots placed on the ocean floor. It may take time to catch, but you can deploy your pots and return later to collect your haul.
Like fish, these creatures can be held in the hands. However, be careful placing them down as they will scurry sideways in search of the ocean!
Fishing Improvements
As well as the new features, we have been listening to player feedback and have some much-needed improvements. The fish finder will function in a more useful way with better data output, some fish selling gantries have been improved to have longer reach, fishing spots are now typically near to either the main biome or the arctic and less likely to be far out at sea, and net capacity is greatly increased.
We can't wait to share this new update! Join us next week for the release :-)
Much love <3,
The Stormworks Developers
