Dear Stormworkers,

This week we have added fuel efficiency curves to engines, so that, similar to real engines, there is a most efficient RPM where the engine generates the most power from fuel.

We have also improved the torque behavior of engines, where they now produce more torque at higher RPM.

Along with this are a long list of improvements and fixes in response to player feedback.

These changes are part of our current focus of quality improvement, as we are tightening up some game mechanics, as we also focus on the performance optimization major update.

We hope you find these new changes interesting, and as always, we look forward to your feedback!

Much Love <3

The Stormworks Developers
