Big changes in this one!
There is now a main menu, where you can select between Career Mode and Sandbox Mode: Career Mode lets you progress, but you can't customise the map or forecast. Instead a randomly generated map will be created for you, then you choose whether to chase that day depending on the CAPE and Helicity/SRH forecast for that day. You can choose to skip that day, but only a limited number of times. Earn more skips by collecting and analyzing data! Sandbox mode is the original mode for this rebuild, where you can customise the map, forecast, gameplay settings etc but you will no longer be able to earn money or buy upgrades in sandbox mode
Trailer parks with sirens have been added. On the map, if residents are in the predicted path of the tornado, a red square will flash indicating you need to warn those residents. Simply drive to the siren, get out of your truck and press E next to the siren to sound it. The square will then turn yellow, and once all residents are sheltered it will turn green. They will stay sheltered for 5 minutes before exiting their shelters.
The vertical motion in the tornado funnel now matches the swirl ratio that is randomised per-tornado
