Better off playing any other game than this one. Geometa has had months, even years, to resolve this. Space Engineer's developers completely redid their game engine (I think for the 2nd game), Scrap Mechanic uses the same engine StormWorks does- Scrap Mechanic completely fixed all of their bugs and left StormWorks in a pile of dust. Stormworks, including all of the DLC's, costs, approximately, 2.34 times more than Scrap Mechanic. You're getting a -10 times benefit from choosing StormWorks over Scrap Mechanic. Can't even play StormWorks Career without the memory leaks being so bad that, even after only 30 minutes, my TPS drops from 62 to the low 20's. On low physics. High physics? less than 7 TPS... My game crashed right after that- making me lose so much progress.. This petition didn't even catch Geometa's attention- which, likely means that they don't even care what pops up on their main page- only when they use it for their images on their new "major" updates. Which- they don't even give credit for the people who build those creations. After the 1.0 update- StormWorks has been completely falling apart.. There is nothing good about this game anymore. Hardly anyone even uploads about this game.. Over $46 wasted on this (once awesome game), absolutely horrid game creation of a game. Geometa should be sued so badly because of how much they've been (practically) "scamming" us out of our money- but they never even listen to the real OG's who know what this game used to be. I can't even play MP servers at all anymore- it's so bad to the point to where I can barely even play in singleplayer. I've already wasted so much of my time into this game- so why not type a whole paragraph about how terrrible it is? No one should even experience what the OG's (including me), had to go through. Constantly telling Geometa to fix their game. They're making a new game which looks completely identical to StormWorks. They're probably putting all- of their millions of dollars- into it- instead of the OG game. From what I've heard? Geometa has lost over a million dollars from a lawsuit, or whatever it was. The developers don't even deserve a penny of that money. They've ruined a perfectly good game. If Geometa made Minecraft- it would still be in its alpha stage.. If it even left its alpha stage? well uh.. It would look horrid. Geometa bans people off of their Discord for no legitimate reason. Some get banned for years. Others? decades.. It's honestly not surprising. They never cared about this game- so- why should we? Honestly- I say we all quit playing StormWorks in February, and start back in March. Let's see what the game offers. I'm doing that- I'm quitting StormWorks from February 1st -> March 31st to just see what Geometa does. Thank you for reading this- and, goodbye.

Honestly, the least this game can do is at least fix the physics engine, damage system, and make sand soft af, grass softer, and concrete have more concrete. This driving im seeing with my UDR on some of these jumps is just stupid.

yeah like sprocket is great for actual design and looks of tanks and stuff but misses out on the fun part of making all the fire control and logic of a tank

@Doge, true. No other game is like StormWorks (bad and good ways). StormWorks has a lot of my creations that I don't want to leave behind.

It has gotten much worse over the years, it's like Geometa is counting on technological progression to resolve performance issues when they only get worse because of spaghetti code.
