Stormworks Mod Loader / Home
A mod loader for Stormworks.
A native mod loader that opens up the game's engine to performance improvements, new functionality, and deeper customization.
What it fixes right now
- Big worlds slow to a crawl
- Performance Mod spreads physics and vehicle logic across more of your CPU. How much it helps depends on your world and hardware.
- Multiplayer stutters on high ping
- Network Fixes sends each player only what their connection can take, and a big vehicle spawning no longer freezes everyone else.
- Rotating parts is guesswork
- Rotation Rings lets you hold the rotate key and turn parts with your movement keys instead.
- Composite channels
- Composite Tracer lists every channel on a composite link and where each one ends up.
Why not Lua?
Lua scripts and microcontrollers can only reach what the game hands them. Thread counts, netcode and editor controls aren't part of that, so changing them means running code inside the game itself. SWML is what loads that code.
The loader and many of the mods have their source on GitHub, so you can read what you're installing.
