Dear Stormworkers,
It is update week! This week is focused on fixes and improvements, as we regather ourselves from the big push getting the major update ready for release 2 weeks ago!
We have some important fixes including an important fix for some multiplayer issues. Please see the notes below for full details.
In addition to fixes, we also bring some quality updates to different aspects of Stormworks. Probably the most noticeable thing is a new warning notification that will appear on vehicle spawn. This warning only shows if there was not enough fuel in workbench inventory to fill all the vehicle tanks to desired level (a parameter that is set with a slider in the fluid spawner component, and premade fluid tanks).

We've also fixed some meshes and animations for occupational outfits and moved some of them under glasses category. You may need to re-equip your welding goggles or head-mirror in wardrobe and find some weird fun combinations there.
Small Steam Train Piston component got a slight re-mesh to be less tall and create bigger visual clearance on locomotives.
For all our addon Lua experts there, we've updated our API with new setSeated function that besides characters also support dogs. Old setCharacterSeated function will work as alias so your scripts will be fine.
Last but not least, we've improved the loop transitions for many sound effects that were recently added to our Buzzer component.

It seems that there also a good news for Stormworkers with AMD graphics cards. According to comments on our issue tracker and messages on our Discord server, it seems that the latest AMD graphics driver solves issue with Lua screens. We've tested both 23.3.1 and 23.3.2 drivers and can confirm that there is no more weird geometric artefacts, black pixels or entirely black screens on in-game monitors.
Thanks to all the players giving feedback on merch and sharing their suspicions of what could be in the upcoming updates! As usual, we will release details as we complete the new features so we can be completely confident in what we are announcing! This usually means that major updates are announced 3 weeks ahead and minor updates are announced as they release.
Work continues as normal on the upcoming new minor and major updates! We are having a lot of fun and can't wait to share more info on the really exciting things we are building at the moment :-)
Much love <3,
The Stormworks Developers
