*UPDATE* The developers have released a statement. Let’s now hope that nothing like this happens in future, and it looks like they have learned from their mistakes. The death threats, doxxing and abuse never should have happened regardless what they had done. Let’s hope over the coming days and weeks that they continue to release small fixes so they can can return back to how it was. store.steampowered.com/news/app/573090/view/6563491834176352054?l=english
Ice, c'mon. You already know what's gonna happen: The devs will say they'll listen to the community, post little "patches" that supposedly fix something, promise big fixes, they'll do nothing, everyone will forget about it in a month, and 6 months from now they will put out another "glorious" update that will break everything and put the game in an even worse state than ever. And repeat. It's been this way since 2020, and it'll stay this way until we get competent devs.
Loving all the bigots in the community who just don't like space so they're blaming every problem the game's ever had on the concept of a space update. You are bad people.
@@philosotree5876 No, we are blaming the ‘Space’ update, not the space dlc. I love the idea of space and I was going to buy the dlc but the game is broken and nothing worked so I didn’t buy the dlc because the update broke everything
@@philosotree5876 No, we're blaming the developers for the fact that their update to introduce space to the game literally *broke* the main focus of the game. Ships don't float, planes don't fly, and even after their patches that supposedly "fixed" these issues, some creations are still completely busted, and the physics still is jank. The developers do not care about their own game. They are solely in it for the money, and people seem to keep forgetting this every month until they do something that breaks the game all over again.
Hey brother, 1800 hrs here. I walked away about 5 months ago and I'm glad I saved myself the foreseeable heartbreak. The devs are caught in a cash grab, which is hilarious because it's not like they are 343, or epic games. It works for large companies, but not small devs like Geometa.
It’s not a cash grab, I’ve enjoyed the space DLC a lot so far and I haven’t even made it to the moon yet. They have fixed many of the bugs. I’m not defending their lack of QA but it’s definitely not a cash grab they put a lot of work into this DLC.
@@cadennorris960 well then they must have another job. It's not like their games are live service and they rake in money every week. They HAVE to release new content to keep the bills paid. So yeah....it is a cash grab my guy, or else the dlc woulda been free.
@@m777howitzer4 Clearly you and I have different definitions of a “cash grab”. Do you have an issue with paid DLC? If not then why is this one in particular an issue?
@@cadennorris960 no I don't, I paid for the last. You didn't address my points about Geometa, which are all true. Show me some hard evidence and maybe I'll be convinced.
@@m777howitzer4 What issue do you have with the space DLC? There’s nothing to address about geometa, that’s irrelevant to this discussion. If you don’t have an issue with pid DLC in general then why call it a “cash grab” simply because you have to pay for it? It’s an equal transaction, you pay for their time and hard work and get content in return. “Cash grab” has a negative connotation, you’re saying it as if they were solely interested in money and didn’t give us anything worthwhile in return.
I dropped stormworks about a year ago because of performance issues, but its still very sad to see this happening. Once the space DLC was announced, I was in awe, but it was more of a "Why?" than a "Wow!" Still, worse than the play testing is the small minority's response to it. Why death threats, abuse? Like I know you must be frustrated, a lot (I would, too) but it's not that deep. This is embarrassing for both of these sides, shameful even.
Small minority being like maybe 10 people. Death threats are bad, that's obvious, but in their statement they made it sound a lot worse than it really was and basically accused this big group of 500+ people, whose goal it was to convince the devs to fix the game, of sending death threats, which isn't true, and made the entire thing shut down sadly.
it's a real shame. a game i have loved for the past 6 months is now broken, everything i have built in the past 300hrs of playtime no longer works. my current project broken and glitched. it's heartbreaking. It's pretty poor of the devs not to test that everything that already exists works with the new physics changes, not just the new stuff. it's a pretty obvious thing to do that someone surely would have thought about that during the 'months long' testing phase of the DLC
Killing? LOL no. One problem happens, and people lie that the game's dead or dying. You people make me believe that Orwellian doublespeak exists because One day it can be completely fine, and then 0.000001 second after a buggy update releases you say "The devs sucked anyway, they were always lazy. They were always killing the game. Eurasia was always the enemy."
Honestly though, if they were to revert the update and dlc and announce it the complete shutdown of stormworks development, I would have been more happy, but they just responded with silence, and a completely rushed patch, but they will just continue to try and maintain the illusion that they care about this game, which they clearly don’t. I’m not even angry at them, I’m just disappointed on how poorly they managed this update and dlc
I am unsure if "game dev patches in a bug" is "end of the game" tier phenomenon. Still think space DLC is too ambitious for a game that hasn't even finished or fully fleshed out its sea based mechanics yet, let alone breaking those mechanics after patching.
Even though I haven't ever touched the game I haven't even got a laptop or computer the TV compatible with the game I've always wanted to play the game and when I heard about the space update that was coming out I knew it was going to be bad but I never thought it would be this bad because of the fact that they are not even trying to update the game to what people want the only update that I actually thought was a really good update out of the ones that they've recently done with the weapons DLC and that was it all the other updates afterwards were just another way for them to make money off of the game and it's just saddening to me that they don't even care about the game anymore and it makes me infuriated because of the fact that I still want to play this game but if it dies here and now I won't ever have the ability to play it
Wow the space update really killed this game. I fired up my old Amphibious Mobile Nuclear Base build and died to pressure due to the gases update that messed up the bilge pumps... they really screwed this game up.
With 1200 hours in its an absolute heartbreak, this game was all i ever wanted but i am giving up. I cant play this anymore…. They could have really made this game amazing but they just stopped caring… A space dlc just doesnt work for this game, they could have fixed multiplayer, fixed the physics system, fix the damage system, optimize the game and add things that actually would be fit for the game (think about sails & wind physics or map updates & changes)
Hello i know this vid is 3 months old but for some reason in my game the water doesn’t come inside ship when its damaged or even if hatched open. Does this has to do with the devs not doing anything? And what are you tips to fix this?
I’ve heard of this being an issue and I don’t think there is a way to fix it unfortunately, I haven’t played the game in 2 months now, so I’m not really up to date now.
so many people are overreacting lol the devs already put out a statement that they are working to fix it people need a bit of patience, but i do think the patches are taking a while to come out
On Feb 25th 2023 I posted a thread in the Steam forums "Has Stormworks lost it's way?", it's really too bad that the game got to this state... sad really.
the devs got mad alot of people suggested we get proper window blocks in the release (this is hear-say to me though) and becuase of this they said they would never fix window blocks. if this statement is in fact true, then the amount of foreshadowing is harmful to foreshadowing.
I am still learning stormworks and as one of the people who has a positive opinion on this game it's sad to see everything is dying. I love this game nad have been playing it for years. cash grab or not I want to continue
Any sink button I press on the ships doesn't work I have to use 50 c4 to sink the titanic and this takes Forever. Having to place the in the right spot
Hey has stromworks been fixed? I wanted to buy it and try it out because youtube reminded me about it but seeing this news I wonder if I should wait abit or just pass on it
they released several fixes in the new few days fortunately. The buoyancy issue was just a messed up line of code. Props to the devs for taking responsibility for their actions and apologizing before fixing the issues. I also made a video on this issue, but your video is 10x better. th-cam.com/video/8Tu0lcl75yg/w-d-xo.html
The devs feel like they can ignore us when we're the ones giving them money Stormworks in the devs eyes are a build up and throw away and now the game is being thrown away we can let Stormworks be ignored by the devs I got this game a few months ago and I'm not going to let it die because of the stupid devs were going to make sure that the devs listen to us! Who's with me?
I hate people that overexaggerate, (Also they made an apology, and Stormworks isn't dead.) P.S. There's still an atmosphere bug, where the oxygen seems to be ripped out , when there's a sealed room with a door, and you get sucked into the door, or out.
I’m not entirely sure, I haven’t been keeping up however from what I’ve heard some things have improved, just not to the level they were before the update broke everything.
This is honestly so sad to hear. I’ve always wanted to play this game, but honestly hearing the state that it’s in. And how careless the devs have been about taking care of it. Its killed any excitement about wanting to play it, let alone purchase it. The future looks incredibly bleak. 😢😢
I shoud have seen this coming. they already alienated half of their original fanbase by eliminating their easy mode. where you just linked everything via nodes. no kid below the age of 15 is going to know how to construct an engine in this game.
Update: the dev's have put out a statement saying that they are working hard on fixing the issues. They also said that they did playtest the DLC, but simply weren't expecting any issues and admitted that they should have. Pretty big W from the dev's in my opinion.
They said in their statement they did "months of full time testing". If that's true, there is no way in hell they could have missed these very obvious issues with the ship physics. It just sounds so unlikely that in those months they only tested space features. They could have tested the ships physics once and would have instantly noticed that everything is messed up. I think they're lying, and if they're not, they are the most incompetent development studio I have ever heard of. When you playtest something, you playtest every single feature, not only the ones that the community is hyping up.
The point is they did months of full time testing, and somehow did not even once test the boat physics, which is basically impossible. Space isn't even that complex in the game, there is no way it could have taken that much testing.@@cardboard9124
Also yeah sure people make mistake, but the issue is the devs do the same mistake over and over, not playtesting enough and not adding quality of life improvements. @@cardboard9124
@@DerZyschopath frankly its pretty poor of the devs not to test basic physics, such as ships being able to function as ships not submarines, after making modifications to gravity and game physics. like surely if you were to change the way a fairly major part of how the game works, you would check that everything works with it, not just the new stuff
A lot of the stuff is still broken, boilers still haven't been fixed as of right now, some of the ships that used negative mass just don't float correctly anymore, and some ships that didn't use any bugs also don't float correctly and just capsize.
Yeah but it's an issue when a lot of builders use this bug... Builders like GBDanny and mcsteve were using it on their ships for example, you can't fix a bug if a lot of people are using it.@@cardboard9124
another case of gamers being stupid "let the game die" it's just a time issue like every other game that had bugs on launch it's their fault but you are being dramatic, it's not like it's impossible to fix the bugs, just takes time that they mismanaged
Dude, the game has been out of the early access phase for 3 years now. It is their literal job to make sure something like this does not happen. The modular engines update two and a half years ago had the same issue. They failed at playtesting and the update released with a hell lot of bugs and very weird mechanics.
Everyone expects there to be bugs. that's not the issue we have. However, its when the dev team repeatedly has these issues and it becomes a normal patter of behavior that only places stress on many others. They should have play tested, they should have explained how these new mechanics work and what it all entails. These are very simple tasks that the devs should have done, but chose not to. No one in this community wants to be mad at updates. We want to be excited, however, it is when they repeatedly bring major game breaking bugs that were simply glossed over because the devs wanted to get it out that is the issue. They have great ideas, but they and the game suffers from their lack of learning from their mistakes, and while they will address the major bugs, they hardly spend the time sitting down and work on optimizing and fixing the bugs that remain after the "smoke has cleared," or the ones that have existed in the game from the beginning. What a lot of people want is an improved multiplayer, improved audio, etc, but the devs ignore all that in an attempt to whip out new contented as fast as they can. If they would take the time to sit down and really try to fix and improve the base game elements and properly play test any new updates before releasing them, then all the backlash and negativity brought on by and experienced by the community would be avoided. Instead, they choose to continue this patter of behavior and a lot of players are just sick of it. Yes, people are being dramatic, but it is only because they love this game dearly. Some people take it better than others, but regardless, we all love this game and want it to succeed.
The same thing happened with modular engines and look where we are- most people love them and the features it introduced. I hope the same thing can be said for the space DLC. Also some of the stuff in the video is just false- they did a lot of testing, there was just so much to test and they wanted to the the update out. These could just be growing pains of the game. Also if the 98% of game people want an update then they should update- that is where there profit is at. A business must follow profit or else it just won’t live, just like trail makers.
A lot of the stuff is still broken, boilers still haven't been fixed as of right now, some of the ships that used negative mass just don't float correctly anymore, and some ships that didn't use any bugs also don't float correctly and just capsize.
@@EliteCian13 they are working on boilers and there is no such thing as ships not floating anymore without it being bug used, also there is no reason to hate on stormworks when its been 2 days after release and stop being toxic and crying children.
Yes, but if they had done any kind of proper testing prior to releasing this update, they wouldn't have had such major game breaking bugs. That's the thing every seems to be forgetting. Bugs are expected with updates and DLC, that's just a fact with all games, but when a development team has been as oblivious and lazy, like this dev team, and it continues to be a pattern, then yes, that is a real issue. telling people to get over their emotions, especially after investing and losing many hours of work in this game. people take pride in what they do. Having it wrecked is a major blow. Yes, the devs are working through fixes, but this is something that shouldn't have been a problem in the first place. They have some great ideas, but they just stink at making sure the rest of the game doesn't suffer because of it. It is a very simple, though can be tedious, process to make sure there aren't any game breaking bugs. If the devs had taken the time to do this simple task, they would have avoided all this frustration, and that is what people are mad. Please come correct next time@@leverpeber
It took them 2 days to start patching bugs from a major update that they had to rework the physics of the base game around. The fact that the community was that outraged says more about the players than the devs. Months of hard work for a really cool dlc and update and then a 2 day break before getting right back to work fixing bugs and glitches. How many dev teams can you say have that kind of turn around time? The fact that within in a hour of release people wanted to set the discord on fire is insane and childish.
If you went to a fast food restaurant and paid 10 dollars for your food to find only to find a knotted clump of an employees hair in your food, I doubt it would be easy to just offer constructive criticism. while I do believe that this whole thing is a bit over blown, your argument seems to be built on bad faith
damn, I wasn't aware that just because it worked for you, that it has to work for everyone else. You're so right. Everything is completely fine and everyone else's complaints and feelings are irrelevant. People are just making things up just to complain. Thank you for saving creator's hour and hours of work.......... oh wait, you didn't. Please come correct next time. Thank you
That's understandable, but also telling people to "stop complaining" isn't the right way to go about it. People are rightfully pissed. I 1000% agree that people placing death threats on the devs heads and anything along those lines is way too far. that crosses a major line, however, having been part of this community for many many years, I see the continuous pattern of the devs ignoring much of the community, silencing those who civilly bring up concerns, and just in general a poor attitude when it comes to deal with the community. It then becomes a problem of "if the dev team isnt going to show the community any level of respect, then why should the community?" Through the silencing, the ignoring, and the refusal to learn from and complete basic tasks, like actually play testing a demo and making sure there are no major game breaking bugs (and Im not just talking about testing the new content, im talking about the whole game), it shows that the dev team consistently expresses a lack of respect toward their player base, to take that extra time and deliver something of good quality. And unfortunately, the only way the community has been able to force the dev's hands has been to engage in tasks like, review bombing the game. It isn't pretty, but at times the dev team leaves little choice, and when you see massive amounts of negative reviews flooding like like we were just seeing, then that should tip it off to you that there might actually be something very wrong here. Yes, you had immature people happily engage in it, but you also had very respectable members of the community engage in it as well. We want to support the devs, and we want the game to be good, but when the dev team continually shows this lack of respect, then they certainly should not expect respect from us. Again, that does not mean send them death threats, or try and deliver rancid pizzas to their offices and crap. That is way over the line and inexcusable. They may be a terrible game dev team, but they do not deserve to be attacked as people. So I get your frustration, but the frustration of others is equally justified and the situation is only made worse when other members tell them to "shrug it off" and to "stop complaining." @@GodzillaJawz

Update, the game is still broken.
Hopefully it gets fixed.
Update: the dev's have put out a statement saying that they are working hard on fixing the issues. They also said that they did playtest the DLC, but simply weren't expecting any issues and admitted that they should have. Pretty big W from the dev's in my opinion.
They said in their statement they did "months of full time testing". If that's true, there is no way in hell they could have missed these very obvious issues with the ship physics. It just sounds so unlikely that in those months they only tested space features. They could have tested the ships physics once and would have instantly noticed that everything is messed up. I think they're lying, and if they're not, they are the most incompetent development studio I have ever heard of. When you playtest something, you playtest every single feature, not only the ones that the community is hyping up.
exactly, they only tested the features they added, people make mistakes bud@@DerZyschopath
The point is they did months of full time testing, and somehow did not even once test the boat physics, which is basically impossible. Space isn't even that complex in the game, there is no way it could have taken that much testing.@@cardboard9124
Also yeah sure people make mistake, but the issue is the devs do the same mistake over and over, not playtesting enough and not adding quality of life improvements. @@cardboard9124
@@DerZyschopath frankly its pretty poor of the devs not to test basic physics, such as ships being able to function as ships not submarines, after making modifications to gravity and game physics. like surely if you were to change the way a fairly major part of how the game works, you would check that everything works with it, not just the new stuff
IG people saw what happened with war tinder and actually made some change 😊
ay a good amount of this stuff is fixed maybe you could make another video covering the state of the game.
lots have been fixed, but ship sinking mechanics are dead
so basically there were bugs, then they were fixed, and now stormworks is dead?
A lot of the stuff is still broken, boilers still haven't been fixed as of right now, some of the ships that used negative mass just don't float correctly anymore, and some ships that didn't use any bugs also don't float correctly and just capsize.
I get the non-bugged ships dont work and thats being worked on im sure, but bugged ships should be sinking, its fixing the bug@@DerZyschopath
Yeah but it's an issue when a lot of builders use this bug... Builders like GBDanny and mcsteve were using it on their ships for example, you can't fix a bug if a lot of people are using it.@@cardboard9124
I have it on my wishlist
Guess I might just remove it
Bro stop being to impatient they are doing their best and it just released expect bugs
Haha I didn't get the space dlc
Calm the fuck down people. New pressure mechanics were improperly tested and bugged on release. Who gives a shit, they fixed it in a week.
man i wanted get in this game.
but nah
ill save my time and money for something else.
people really overreacted alot on this.
The stormworks developers want more of 1 thing and it isnt to help the community
another case of gamers being stupid
"let the game die"
it's just a time issue like every other game that had bugs on launch
it's their fault but you are being dramatic, it's not like it's impossible to fix the bugs, just takes time that they mismanaged
Dude, the game has been out of the early access phase for 3 years now. It is their literal job to make sure something like this does not happen. The modular engines update two and a half years ago had the same issue. They failed at playtesting and the update released with a hell lot of bugs and very weird mechanics.
Everyone expects there to be bugs. that's not the issue we have. However, its when the dev team repeatedly has these issues and it becomes a normal patter of behavior that only places stress on many others. They should have play tested, they should have explained how these new mechanics work and what it all entails. These are very simple tasks that the devs should have done, but chose not to. No one in this community wants to be mad at updates. We want to be excited, however, it is when they repeatedly bring major game breaking bugs that were simply glossed over because the devs wanted to get it out that is the issue. They have great ideas, but they and the game suffers from their lack of learning from their mistakes, and while they will address the major bugs, they hardly spend the time sitting down and work on optimizing and fixing the bugs that remain after the "smoke has cleared," or the ones that have existed in the game from the beginning. What a lot of people want is an improved multiplayer, improved audio, etc, but the devs ignore all that in an attempt to whip out new contented as fast as they can. If they would take the time to sit down and really try to fix and improve the base game elements and properly play test any new updates before releasing them, then all the backlash and negativity brought on by and experienced by the community would be avoided. Instead, they choose to continue this patter of behavior and a lot of players are just sick of it. Yes, people are being dramatic, but it is only because they love this game dearly. Some people take it better than others, but regardless, we all love this game and want it to succeed.
The same thing happened with modular engines and look where we are- most people love them and the features it introduced. I hope the same thing can be said for the space DLC. Also some of the stuff in the video is just false- they did a lot of testing, there was just so much to test and they wanted to the the update out. These could just be growing pains of the game.
Also if the 98% of game people want an update then they should update- that is where there profit is at. A business must follow profit or else it just won’t live, just like trail makers.
But I still recommend not to buy the space dlc
Geometa trying to not do a stupid Challenge. Difficulty (impossible)
you do know its been fixed right?
A lot of the stuff is still broken, boilers still haven't been fixed as of right now, some of the ships that used negative mass just don't float correctly anymore, and some ships that didn't use any bugs also don't float correctly and just capsize.
@@EliteCian13 they are working on boilers and there is no such thing as ships not floating anymore without it being bug used, also there is no reason to hate on stormworks when its been 2 days after release and stop being toxic and crying children.
Yes, but if they had done any kind of proper testing prior to releasing this update, they wouldn't have had such major game breaking bugs. That's the thing every seems to be forgetting. Bugs are expected with updates and DLC, that's just a fact with all games, but when a development team has been as oblivious and lazy, like this dev team, and it continues to be a pattern, then yes, that is a real issue. telling people to get over their emotions, especially after investing and losing many hours of work in this game. people take pride in what they do. Having it wrecked is a major blow. Yes, the devs are working through fixes, but this is something that shouldn't have been a problem in the first place. They have some great ideas, but they just stink at making sure the rest of the game doesn't suffer because of it. It is a very simple, though can be tedious, process to make sure there aren't any game breaking bugs. If the devs had taken the time to do this simple task, they would have avoided all this frustration, and that is what people are mad. Please come correct next time@@leverpeber
they fixed it all. everything, there is no reason to be like you
@@TaylorTaylor-pw9np
I was going to buy a DLC since it's on sale, but now I really don't want to support the devs.
It took them 2 days to start patching bugs from a major update that they had to rework the physics of the base game around. The fact that the community was that outraged says more about the players than the devs. Months of hard work for a really cool dlc and update and then a 2 day break before getting right back to work fixing bugs and glitches. How many dev teams can you say have that kind of turn around time? The fact that within in a hour of release people wanted to set the discord on fire is insane and childish.
i know they're going to work on fixing hopefully but its early access just give it a break give the devs time
but it is really sad to see the game start to die this was one of my favorite games.
The game has been out of early access for a few years now. It's the devs's jobs to release updates that don't contain gamebreaking bugs on release.
maybe the community should just give constructive criticism or suck it up, you spent that $10 for a reason
If you went to a fast food restaurant and paid 10 dollars for your food to find only to find a knotted clump of an employees hair in your food, I doubt it would be easy to just offer constructive criticism. while I do believe that this whole thing is a bit over blown, your argument seems to be built on bad faith
When they released the patch everything worked for me even before the patch so please STOP COMPLAINING thank you
damn, I wasn't aware that just because it worked for you, that it has to work for everyone else. You're so right. Everything is completely fine and everyone else's complaints and feelings are irrelevant. People are just making things up just to complain. Thank you for saving creator's hour and hours of work.......... oh wait, you didn't. Please come correct next time. Thank you
@@TaylorTaylor-pw9np it works for 90% of people bro
I’m just mad because people ARENT BEING CIVIL
That's understandable, but also telling people to "stop complaining" isn't the right way to go about it. People are rightfully pissed. I 1000% agree that people placing death threats on the devs heads and anything along those lines is way too far. that crosses a major line, however, having been part of this community for many many years, I see the continuous pattern of the devs ignoring much of the community, silencing those who civilly bring up concerns, and just in general a poor attitude when it comes to deal with the community. It then becomes a problem of "if the dev team isnt going to show the community any level of respect, then why should the community?" Through the silencing, the ignoring, and the refusal to learn from and complete basic tasks, like actually play testing a demo and making sure there are no major game breaking bugs (and Im not just talking about testing the new content, im talking about the whole game), it shows that the dev team consistently expresses a lack of respect toward their player base, to take that extra time and deliver something of good quality. And unfortunately, the only way the community has been able to force the dev's hands has been to engage in tasks like, review bombing the game. It isn't pretty, but at times the dev team leaves little choice, and when you see massive amounts of negative reviews flooding like like we were just seeing, then that should tip it off to you that there might actually be something very wrong here. Yes, you had immature people happily engage in it, but you also had very respectable members of the community engage in it as well. We want to support the devs, and we want the game to be good, but when the dev team continually shows this lack of respect, then they certainly should not expect respect from us. Again, that does not mean send them death threats, or try and deliver rancid pizzas to their offices and crap. That is way over the line and inexcusable. They may be a terrible game dev team, but they do not deserve to be attacked as people. So I get your frustration, but the frustration of others is equally justified and the situation is only made worse when other members tell them to "shrug it off" and to "stop complaining." @@GodzillaJawz
Overreaction
yep Im not fully getting what everyone is talking about yes the game is a bit broken but hey fixes are coming chill...
