Update 0.9.4 — Storm Season

5 November 2026 · Veenlicht Interactive

Build 0.9.4.2198

The biggest playtest update so far: tidal surges, heavier rain, pump failures and a rebalanced crew system.

New

• Tidal surge events: the sea level rises over several hours and combines with river discharge
• Rain now soaks sandbag lines and slowly weakens them
• Pump stations can fail under overload and must be repaired by an engineer crew
• New wallpaper pack and the Storm Season trailer on the media page

Balance

• Crew fatigue recovers 25% faster during day shifts
• Breach repair now requires both sand and clay
• Volunteer arrival is less random on higher difficulties

Fixes

• Fixed sluice gates closing by themselves after loading a save
• Fixed rare desync during simultaneous breach repairs in co-op
• Fixed missing localisation strings in German and Dutch

Content packs

This update ships a new base content pack. If you already have 0.9.3, the launcher downloads a delta of about 148 MB instead of the full pack.
