Dear Stormworkers,
On the 13th October 2022, we will be launching the new Industrial Frontier Expansion!
New Lands
The Industrial Frontier update includes a new 400 square km arid mega island. This is a huge new location, and is two times bigger than the current largest island. Overall, this expansion doubles the total land area in Stormworks.
To the south of the Stormworks world, this warmer location is a combination of salt flats, arid cliffs, hills, canyons, volcano, industrial facilities, bases, and more.
New Rail
The new location includes hundreds of km of new train line and roads, including loops, switching stations, storage yards, bridges, and more.
Mining and Processing
Several new mines and quarries are introduced, with new surface mineral deposits that can be mined using the new mining drill. The extracted ores can be transported to refining and processing facilities and foundries, to reduce them to pure metal ingots that can be sold at the metal trading yard.
Wildlife and Farms
The new wildlife system introduces dozens of species of animals, including wildlife such as deer, badgers, horses, hares, farm animals such as cattle, sheep, goats, as well as aggressive animals such as various types of bears, wolves, and more.
Stormwoofs
Many species of trained and domesticated dogs are introduced in the Industrial Frontier. They are a rare encounter but also a useful friend, and will follow instructions given by a dog whistle, as well as having a keen sense for survivors.
Additional Free Content
The Industrial Frontier expansion is a DLC and so will be a paid update. However, we will also be releasing a free major update at the same time, including an industrialization of the Sawyer Isles with loads of new rail line across the island, and the new mining mechanics for coal and uranium will also be included in the base game, with a new career fuel management system.
We cannot wait to share this new release with you! More details will come soon.
Much love <3,
The Stormworks Developers
