Alpha 0.1.1

• Added option for controller button mapping in Settings menu.
  
• Fixed a bug that resulted in items being rotated on game load. Unfortunately due to the nature of this bug, fixing the bug may not result in your items being rotated back to “normal”. This is because the bug happens during the loading/ saving process. However, it should not happen going forward as the bug has been fixed.
  
• Fixed a display bug with the pan button. The toggle should always be in the correct state now.
  
• Fixed a but that caused the inventory scrollbar thumb to disappear when loading into your room.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused the music to stop playing once the last song completed.

Dear Stormworkers,

This week's minor update brings many fixes and improvements to Stormworks!

These are important fixes that players have requested on the issue tracker. Many thanks to all the players who shared their feedback!

In a couple of months, we are planning to merge the dedicated server into the main game installation rather than having a separate Steam product. This simply means that server.exe and server64.exe will be installed with Stormworks, rather than the separate Steam App where they currently exist.

To help server communities, there will be a long transition period and we will be listening to their feedback. As we understand, it should be a simple process to make minor changes to their install scripts. We will let you know when the transition period starts with more info on what to do if you run a server.



The reason for this change is to ensure that the server and the game updates at the same time, removing the risk of an error where the game and the server may have different versions for some period of time.

The other reason is that Valve have released some new security measures requiring 2FA via SMS to update the game on Steam. This means that automated pipelines can no longer push updates, and a person with the right permissions must be standing by with the phone to confirm each release for each app.



I am not convinced this makes any sense. The SMS confirmation isn't required for beta branches or workshop uploads which can also go live directly to players, and its broadly agreed that automated release processes are less prone to errors than those involving humans. However, we love Valve and we appreciate they are just trying to make Steam as safe as they reasonably can.

Please see the patch notes below for full details on this update!

Much love <3,

The Stormworks Developers

Hello again! Two updates in one week? What is this, an ambassador's reception?

I've just pushed v1.06 to live; as I mentioned in the previous update, this version adds achievement support. There are 12 achievements, and they unlock retroactively. As such, if you've played the game before, you can boot it up and wait on the title screen for a few seconds while it pops all of the achievements you previously got. I've tested it as thoroughly as I can, but please let me know if anything doesn't seem to be working as expected.

Thanks!

Hello everyone,

It's been over a year since Longvinter was released, and we're thrilled to share that we're still hard at work on our beloved game. As you may know the last week has been quite eventful with the game regarding the bugs and issues. Thankfully the most crucial parts have now been fixed.

We believe that getting nominated for the Steam Awards would be a fantastic opportunity to introduce our game to a wider audience. We're aiming for the "Labor of Love" award category because we've been consistently delivering updates and improvements to the game. We've received messages from many players expressing their appreciation for the direction we're taking Longvinter, and we're grateful for their support.

Now we are asking our community to help us get nominated to the steam awards which will be held December 2023.

WINNERS ANNOUNCED JAN 2ND @ 10AM PACIFIC.

Thank you, Uuvana Team

Hello everyone!


Today we're releasing another fix update, containing a major improvement for train-lovers: Improved trains platform choice.

Train stations in InfraSpace have multiple platforms, which on paper sounds like a good feature to have for high-traffic train stations.

The problem was, that InfraSpace trains already chose the platform they are going towards when they left the previous station. But, the journey is long and while the train was traveling, another train could easily slip in between and occupy the platform. Thus, the first train was still going towards the chosen platform even though it was occupied and many other free platforms were available!

With this update, trains keep watching out for changes in platform occupancy while driving and they adjust to path to an empty platform if possible. This makes thoughput on high-traffic stations much better.


Also, we changed the balancing of the nuclear reactor water consumption again.
Recently we had some issues with them either requesting too many resources or the storage for water being too large for early game buildings, so these are the new changes:

• Reduced maximum storage of water to 36, so early game it does not take forever to fill buildings
  
• Reduced consumption of water for nuclear power plants, so they are not stuck waiting for water

I know there are more things to improve. Especially on our mind are two issues that are plaguing a couple of people: Resources getting stuck in train stations and terraforming not being able to complete fully. If you are experiencing any other bugs really messing with your experience, feel free to let us know / remind us again, we're gonna keep fixing and improving for a while.

Happy playing!
