Bro you are one of the few chill stormworks KZitemrs that still make videos. Most of the others do not make creations, and make videos on other peoples creations. It is very sad that stormworks did these things, making most of the creations in the workshop unusable. Because of this, all of my builds (because I love making boats) that I have spent hours making, do not float. I am just sad that stormworks does not listen to the community at all. Keep making videos, you are the best KZitemr currently making videos of stormworks. Thank you for reading and for this video.

I actually strongly believe they actually do test the game actually however they knew the game was broken for several reasons. 1. The DLC preview with the dev voice-overs where actually pre-recorded older builds of the game. I think they likely choose this because they knew something was wrong with the game. 2. There was no developer live stream the morning of launch yet every other DLC and major update has gotten this again probably because they knew something was wrong. It really does not look good if you look at from that angle as it probably means that they are more focused on reaching deadlines then an actual polished experience. I think that is a trend that has been going on with Geometa lately and I think its why we are getting smaller and lack luster or even down right useless updates like the Gila Monster (a harmless lizard in game) which was probably added to just add something before some deadline was hit is my guess.

At this point I'm in the "I'm not mad, just disappointed" dad mode. I love this game, I've loved it through all it's ups and downs since 0.10 beta or thereabouts. I always wanted an update with exactly the scope of this update but there's never been a launch of anything that Geometa or formerly Sunfire didn't screw up massively. I purposely didn't check steam when the update came out. I waited a few days to let the dust settle that was inevitably going to be kicked up knowing the devs' record. It didn't work - still a dumpster fire in a sandstorm. Potential is exactly the word. This game is a diamond in the rough - just that it keeps getting rougher on one side while the other is being embellished, only to be bashed up again later. I'm losing faith and it just hurts. I own every other DLC, played almost 3k hours and like the idea of the space DLC but I will not buy it until the game itself AND the DLC content is in an acceptable state and fun. For now it just isn't - yet again. Geometa not only ignoring criticism but also banning and silencing people for uttering criticism just doesn't sit right with me. They are pulling on our heart strings every time they make the same mistakes again and again. They can and should expect some wrath. (obviously not threatening, violent or destructive in any way, not condoning any of that) They know their record with new features, what did they expect? Sometimes it really feels like they don't understand what makes the game fun in the first place. Even though it has always been in a pretty sorry state if you exclude just building stuff in custom, it was fun most of the time. That little exclusion is what they screwed up. Fun: gone. Nothing works properly, engineering doesn't matter, testing doesn't give any useable results, what used to be solvable by engineering and physics intuition is now an obscure guessing game with trillions of possible combinations. Career was never great, especially after the 1.0 debacle and on top of everything: Almost everything you ever made is broken. Which would even have been fine, did the new fluid physics work as expected and was necessary to get them to work. But it doesn't even remotely work and did everything work as expected most stuff wouldn't have broken in the first place. Gharrr It feels like a kick to the groin every time and I don't know how much more I can take before I evict this gorgeous, complex masterpiece of an engineering dumpster fire from my SSD and carry on with a hole in my heart. I dread that day and I pray to the Kraken it won't come. But I'm losing faith. Thanks for for being honest Endo. Too many have been manipulated into actually enjoying to eat the excrement the devs put in front of them. I love this game; Please, please, don't take it away from me. I beg of you, devs, please. Rant over.

More trains would have been nice, or just fleshing out previously added parts (more plane parts, more train parts, racing bits for cars, rail loading ports for industry etc). Hopefully we'll get fishing next time but I guess we'll still get the broken update releases. I could understand the jet thing at least, but the whole boats buoyancy I cannot understand as it would be a simple and easy test - just spawn a big boat and see if it still runs etc. It does feel like the whole DLC has been rushed (which is one of the reasons I've given it a miss other than not being interested in doing space stuff in the game).

What pisses me off most is that there are solutions to their problems, but the devs completely ignore that. They were pushing hard to release 1.9 on time, but they made the deadline themselves and only annouced it relatively recently. So the whole "we HAD to release an untested expansion because that deadline was super important for our investors" doesn't really work, as by the time they announced a date they should've already had some idea of how much work was left. Their testing leaves out lot of stuff, almost every time new content comes out it takes a few weeks until that content works somewhat reliably. Steam offers the option to have sign-in betas or experimental versions that would give everyone interested the ability to check the latest build whilst those who just want to play a functioning game can stay on the main version. But they aren't using that. And whilst downgrading to an older version is possible (which is many people did after 1.9 dropped) it I extremely annoying when you come home from work to continue where you left off and suddenly nothing works anymore. And it's not like the previous version was running flawless either. But like a kid with ADHD they are always hyperfocusing on one thing, sucking all the dopamine out of it, and then never even looking at it again. Are train wheels properly disconnecting from rails now? Is dropping 10 liters of oil still causing a global disaster? Will it ever be possible to park a vehicle on an incline without it sliding away slowly? I highly doubt it

I dont think flooding everything with bad reviews is going to help things, but i do agree that they need to actually test stuff first. Delaying the launch a bit is much better than completely ruining the game for that same amount of time... the only difference is how annoyed the community will get. In this case, the "how annoyed" part is basically planning a mutiny on the devs.

Thanks for your calm explanation of what goes wrong with these updates. What nerfs me in the Rant on Steam, Discord and co, is the tone. I understand the anger, the disappointment in the people and also that a dev team meets the responsibility. But how this is partly communicated by the community is terrible. From "pipe bombs" to be sent to the devs, to open hatred. I agree with you in many parts, actually in all, what the devs could do. They don't really have to do everything IMO, even if it would be smart IMO, but just a few of the solutions brought up would help. On the other hand, with the terrible behavior of a distinct part of the community, I wonder, maybe the community deserves to be ignored? I think yes and no. There are some good and reasonable reactions to the updates that are quite productive. In addition, more communication would also take the community with it and also prevent some of the hate from happening in the first place. On the other hand, I also understand every Dev as a human being who says "sorry, I don't have to put up with that" in the sometimes hair-raising reactions. Finally, I think we need more calm, even if clear words, to what is going wrong, to get back to a level where you can talk to each other.
