Game update

Introducing Difficulty Settings - v0.15.0

Tornado: Research and Rescue · published 2 Jul 2026, 21:04 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

The big change for this update (0.15.0) is the new difficulty setting:

  1. Easy - You have radar and tornado tracks - No bonus
  2. Hard - You have radar but no tornado tracks - x2 Earnings
  3. Extreme - You have no radar and no tornado tracks - x3 Earnings

I have also patched a few annoying things:

  • Ultrawide screens should have the UI fixed now, let me know if you're using an ultrawide and still having issues with the UI
  • Some mist particles were going fully opaque when going from a precipitation heavy area to the precipitation free area around the tornado, this is now fixed
  • Some tiles spawned you in a field instead of on the road, these have been fixed
  • There is a five minute grace period at the beginning of the game where tornadoes impacting towns will not impact your rescue score

And finally there is one visual update: the style of the tornado will morph slowly over time, so it can go from wedge to stovepipe and back, the debris cloud can grow and shrink etc.

Enjoy! :)

Some will have a shelterbelt, other's wont, some will have one that wraps around t…In-game event12 Sep 2026v0.31.0 - Tornado Logbook & Updated Tornado BehaviourI am genuinely excited to release this update! (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. This is rea…In-game event6 Sep 2026Introducing the SD60 Freight Train! - v0.30.0Version 0.30.0 brings something I have wanted to add for quite a while: a freight train and level crossings, in this case the SD60. 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…
