The Storm

If you stand in place for too long the storm will catch up with you and start dealing damage to your HULL! So keep that coal topped up and your furnace fixed up or the storm will catch you!

Each zone has its own unique storm effect.

And in the coming updates we will introduce ways to make the storm even deadlier through the loading bay!

The Postcard
