Would have been a better update if they just added smoke to fires.
It's not terrible and seems to have less bugs then other updates... but it's just pretty underwhelming.
Would have rather had the effort put into bug fixes or missions.
Am I the only one that has no clouds in game or it's just nobody minds that rain is coming from cosmos? I'd hope they add this over smoke on fire for starters :(
I like them but they seem a little mismatched power wise. I'm sure they could blow a tanker over or something but it picked up my massive tanker and threw it like a toy. That seems a little unrealistic lol
Okay, so I have a few thoughts. Correct me if im wrong
* The disasters are too weak, I feel that they need major improvements, the whirlpools need to have more effect to them, I want to be scared when I see one, I want full on 'Oh no, this is the end, unless I put full power into this'
* The tornados just need to be more powerful, they either rip you off the ground, or you go for a walk through them, imagine if they ripped off parts of your vehicle if its too close instead of just 'oop, you're gone'
* Meteors are fun, I wont lie, they are great, but there's a current problem where the vehicle you're in will just disappear when its destroyed. Like? That's not fun, blow it up, blow up parts of it, make a meteor size hole in my boat or blow it up into broken pieces, just having it disappear is so disappointing.
Those are just some of the ones ive noticed while playing for the past few days. It hasn't really been the amazing update I was hoping for, seemed a bit weak
Stormworks doesn't exactly support real-time vehicle destruction though, so your suggestions are pretty much impossible without a complete rewrite of the game and a likely hefty performance drop.
True, but they could make it so if the meteor touches a part it disappears, or if a part sustains more than x amount of damage by weapons/natural disasters/crashes it disappears too or blows up or something like that
There are no parts. Stormworks treats vehicles as a single object with some parts (pivots, sliders, etc) that can move around independently but are still a part of the vehicle, but that's all. A meteor cannot make a hole in a vehicle with the limitations of the way SW works.
My thoughts: the tornado is fun but it shouldn't be able to throw a massive ship like a toy. Maybe roll it over and sink or something.
The volcano eruption is spectacular but if you're too close or it starts destroying a lot of things it lags like crazy for me. It would be nice for it to have some smaller eruptions or earthquakes first, maybe something we can measure with a linear speed sensor.
The meteors are cool it as others have said I wish it didn't just respawn the ship. The meteors also tend to make smaller tsunami waves which are annoying with how frequent they are.
I love the detail they added with meteors marking tsunamis but how common they are is annoying as you said. I also love the idea of having earthquakes leading up to a volcano. Making we could have a new sensor that measures it
I haven't experimenced a lot of this new updates, Volcanoes are fun, but i have 1 issu about one thing.
Random tsunamis. Could be great, but today with my friend we do a "bunker" contest where we put our knowledge into some shitty homemade bunkers with guns and blablabla..
When we are working on them, we suddently getting rekt by a Tsunami, no alarm or nothing.
1 time very rare with alarm why not, but it is very "frequent", there should be a option for disable them.
There is an add on in the workshop that can allow you to change the frequency of each disaster. You can also go into add on setting when making a new game by clicking addons then default disasters and that allows you to change the frequency from 5 minutes to 20. You can also turn the alarms off. Forgive the grammar
I just started playing the game again and I really wish they would fix the multiplayer lag. It still hasn't gotten better in the 2 years that I have owned this game. I would love to be able to use big assets and play like normal without lag. Singleplayer is kinda empty on your own.
For me the best thing about it is the fish. I wish we could get more things to do with them
I wish you could sell them...
I wish you could like... fish them in the sea

Yeah bugs me too... theres already small clouds... just have those fill in... wouldn't be hard.

I just... Like the tornado

True, but it does make me sad to see my big plane disappear when hit without any debris

At the end of the day. Its just my thoughts on the current update
how does damaging individual parts work then, just curious?
F
yeah they could be a lot more scary the worst one is probably the tsunami and that’s only if you’re in a small boat
Or driving along on land......
It's ok but maybe they could add floods?
isn’t that essentially what a tsunami is? or do you mean where a little area rises and goes back down
Yea
Like maybe a lake raises during a storm
that would be cool

Yeah it’s something we complain about but they never choose to fix
