Thin Atmosphere Homebrew now calculates ambient pressure, and uses these calculations for parts! This affects the performance of wings, props, jet engines, ramjets, and internal combustion engines. Rockets, Solid Fuel Rockets, and Electric Motors remain unaffected by these changes. The shock-cone effect also takes the altitude and pressure in mind, making it less visible with altitude, and remo…

Overall performance gains Baking our vehicles has always been about optimizing the result. We are glad to have found additional ways to optimize our vehicles even more.

Hey guys, Today's topic will be about The Warehouse As many of you know, Steam Workshop support has been down since the new builder released. Why? Because we noticed that Steam Workshop was doing more harm than good. To give a scenario: new player starts Homebrew for the first time, goes straight to most popular and starts downloading old vehicles that don't work anymore. We feel that vehicles…
Hey guys before we get into the new update, we would like to go over some changes we have in store for our Discord. We have been thinking about discord a lot, moderators included. With our heads joined we made a plan to make Discord even better than it already is. Our thoughts included streamlining chatter, reducing the gap between beta/vanilla, better event planning, and more. So lets take a l…
Hey guys, today we would like to talk about "what's up with Homebrew" and what has happened these past months. Some of you might think development has been halted, wich is understandable and partially true. We have been in a financial dip for some time now, luckily about 5 months ago an opportunity opened for a side project that we could work on to ensure we can keep doing what we love, which i…
Hello fellow Homebrewers... we have something in store for you! Wheels ...

We've released a tiny patch to address some issues players are facing in the new beta builder! We're also addressing the workshop situation. As of Version 15.1, new builder vehicles no longer upload to workshop. This is intended behavior, and we will remove the button for that in the future to combat any confusion. For now, only old builder vehicles can be uploaded on the workshop. Fixes · Down…
In 2014 we introduced Homebrew as a place where everyone could build whatever they are crazy enough to imagine. In the following years weapons, other parts, overhauled physics, improved graphics and multiplayer, a ton of bug fixes and lua integration updates were released. Which brings us to 2018, the year of part updates, a vast expansion of the world, and a full weather system integration. Th…
Hello Homebrewers! We've got a contest lined up for you guys once again. The Dodo-Plane Challenge! You'll be building planes, but there's a catch: Your vehicle must be powered by wheels and nothing else! That's right. No propellers, no jets, no rockets. Just good old-fashioned rubber to the road, and to add to the challenge; no infinite fuel or power either. What motor you use to power these wh…
Good day Homebrewers! Today We will dive into some of the smaller yet powerfull features of the new builder. Visibility options: Ever got stuck finding a part within your plated vehicle?

Pressing the button will position the builder infront…

We've made two new ways for adding plates sofar. 1) Simply click and drag a plate into existance. 2) Or, you can click 4 times to setup a plate. This is handy for filling holes. Removing Plates: Ju…
Howdy fellow Homebrewers! Today we present something we have been waiting on since Homebrew first came out. Symmetry tools have finally made it to the builder! Adding parts: Pipes and plates: Symmetry is enabled by default, but can be toggled off at any time. Parts added when symmetry is enabled will be kept in symmetry even when symmetry is currently disabled. This way we can temporary disable…

We c…
We'd like to introduce you to two new parts, the Nassin I4 , a beautiful Inline-4 that's got quite the power for it's age, and the Rumbler V8 a lovely V8 engine that delivers when you need that torque!
