v0.14.0 - Forests, Jarrell Scenario, Subvortex Winds & More!

Tornado: Research and Rescue · published 3 months ago · build 23847070

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Fun changes with this update v0.14.0!

  • Jarrell 1997 scenario has been added - this is difficult to get accurate as there is limited conflicting information and reports but I did my best!

  • Tornado formation logic changed so that some tornadoes touch down ultra-skinny, and others much wider

  • Horizontal vortices can be narrower now

  • Setting added for number of "rings" of detail loaded around you in the map. So far it's been fixed at 1, so 500m of map is loaded around your position. This can now go up to 5/2.5km.

  • Subvortices have their own localised winds now

  • The bottom of the tornado funnel can now move independently of the top of the funnel, making them even more lifelike and dynamic

  • The map generator now imposes a bit more grid-like structure to the roads, making the road network more interconnected than before, it also clusters towns near each other for added realism.

  • When you warn a town, it also warns all towns connected horizontally and/or vertically to it, so if they're clustered you just need to warn any single town in the cluster

  • Warning logic is updated, so rather than just unsheltering unconditionally, residents will remain sheltered as long as the tornado is within 5km

  • Forest tiles have been added

  • Map tile icons have been updated to make the mini-map more "alive"

As always, enjoy! :)

Tornado: Research and Game update5 Sep 2026v0.29.0 - Road Signs & Major Optimisationsv0.29.0 brings procedurally generated road signs and major optimisations to debris physics and ground scouring rendering. I was able to increase my debris limit from 400 to 1000 while streaming and saw no lag or stutter while multiple towns got impacted. I also purchased several other assets, just as a preview of what will come next: - Freight trains, train tracks and level crossings - Barns, w…In-game event1 Sep 2026v0.28.0 - Introducing Ground ScouringOnly one change in this update (v0.28.0) - ground scouring! The terrain texture is updated and vegetation is stripped from the ground, including grass, shrubs, corn and even in extreme cases leaves from trees! This adds to the atmosphere of the game, as you close in on the path of the tornado you will see evidence of the tornado's intensity. As always, enjoy! :)Tornado: Research and Game update29 Aug 2026Tutorial/Email System - v0.27.0There's been an influx of new users recently so I decided to introduce a type of in-game tutorial in v0.27.0 You will receive an email introducing you to the game and explaining basic vehicle and camera controls. Then as certain events happen (tornado touches down, a populated area gets threatened etc.) you will receive an email explaining how that game mechanic works. Hopefully this will stop…
