Dear Stormworkers,

This week's minor update brings a new compact method of propulsion...

A small solid rocket booster has been added that will burn and produce thrust for a limited duration. These boosters can be stacked on top of each other to increase their capacity, and are ideal for building small rockets, ejector seats and missiles.

This patch also includes a number of bug fixes and improvements, including a minor rebalance to mission rewards that we hope will improve the pace of progression for those of you enjoying career mode. See below for the full changelog.

If you find any bugs or want to request a feature, don't forget to head over to the Stormworks issue tracker (accessible from the main menu and pause menu) to leave your feedback.

Have a great weekend <3
