Dear Stormworkers,
This week we are releasing the flares that we announced last week!
The new flare launching block fires a flare when triggered from logic. There are various types of flare, with options for illumination, smoke, parachute, and projectile power.
The illumination flares produce a huge amount of light, making it brighter at night when over 1km away from the flare. The illumination flares can also be seen at a distance, making them useful for signalling and finding your friends in multiplayer.
Parachute flares catch the wind, and slow the fall of a flare as it falls through the sky.
Smoke flares produce smoke, in a similar way to the old flares you can spawn in missions.

Flares produce heat, making them a useful emergency tool in the arctic to warm players back up quickly. But please use flares responsibly, they are very hot, so don't use them too close to trees...
We have had tonnes of fun making and testing the flares, and are testing loads of cool new features at the moment. We have some really great changes on the way and can't wait to share more info about this next week in the announcement post.
Much love <3
