Hey Total Tank Fans The post launch evolution of Total Tank Simulator continues! Thank you again for the survey responses you kindly provided earlier this year. We identified areas of interest to tweak and enhance the TTS experience. Over these 5 and a half months we implemented performance improvements and fixes, added content and features for free (more units, slow motion, pre- battle orders, etc) and a paid DLC to introduce a new faction. [b]Today we are excited to announce another free addition: Steam Workshop! [/b] Today’s content update introduces the [i] first [/i]installment of features that allow players to create unit deployments on sandbox, also to create and pack collections of sandbox missions that can be published and downloaded. We planned this as a first integration of Workshop features that will permit the community to create their own content and expand the game as per their imagination… and we’ll keep working on the backend to introduce new workshop capabilities. We are sure you have more questions: when will that happen? What else will be introduced? Will it be free or paid? For now we rather not compromise on times or content, please, stay tuned. What we can confirm is that the next Workshop drop will be free as well! We will be making updates to the workshop over the next days as we find out about possible issues. If you have any trouble please check out our pinned support post. We hope you enjoy today's update and please read on for the guide and patch notes!
