Introducing Death & Vegetation Bug *Finally Fixed* - v0.18.0

Tornado: Research and Rescue · published 21 Jul 2026, 21:46 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

v0.18.0 brings some much needed features and bug fixes.

Most importantly, the vegetation disappearing bug is finally fixed! It turns out the asset I purchased to render vegetation had a bug in it, which meant that only vegetation along the bottom-left-to-top-right diagonal would load in the game. Codex found and fixed the bug in 7 minutes after months of frustration trying to figure out what was wrong!

There is now also a vegetation rendering distance setting, so you can render vegetation out to 1km if you want.

The biggest gameplay change is that you can now die.

You now have a health stat, and impacts reduce your health, when it reaches 0% a brief message lets you know you are now dead, then you're booted back to the main menu. Winds above 100mph also reduce your health when outside of the truck, so be careful when exiting! Also, if your truck is lifted by the tornado, you wont just orbit peacefully, every few seconds it will slam your truck into the ground. You now have to be very careful with tornadoes!

Enjoy! :)

(v0.31.0) it introduces a tornado logbook, consisting of personal bests/records and an individual record of every tornado you intercept. Each photo you take is associated with each tornado, so you can go through your logbook, see key stats about the tornado, and flick through the photos that give an overview of the tornado's life cycle.

There will always be at least one freight train line, maximum two, and freight trains will move along them between 10-40mph. There are also level crossings so they can block you when trying to escape a tornado! I have also updated the vehicle impact physics so road…
