A lot of new additions, most importantly there is now a career mode with the ability to upgrade your equipment, progress is automatically saved (and can be reset by pressing 'esc' in the settings menu).

There are four data types:

  1. Wind speed (cheapest)

  2. Pressure

  3. Temperature

  4. Dew Point (most expensive)

As you collect data, you will also discover anomalies - these are unique discoveries in the data that push your academic career forward. For certain upgrades, you will need both the required amount of money and a minimum academic ranking.

As your academic ranking increases, the game difficulty will also increase: at first tornadoes will spawn near you, and move slowly. As you move up the rankings, tornadoes will start to move faster and spawn further away from you.

Also added:

  • Wall clouds

  • Power flashes

Changed:

  • Velocity couplet shows before tornado formation

  • Wind turbines now spin according to the wind speed they are experiencing

  • Debris flight has been tweaked more, the tornado will carry objects quite far across the map now, and you will see more visible debris orbiting the funnel
