How co-op works
Online crews design programmable vehicles and then operate them together across career or custom rescue missions. Players divide multi-crew stations, navigation, engines, cranes, pumps, firefighting, repairs, and survivor recovery while weather, fuel, damage, and vehicle physics punish weak planning.
About this game
Stormworks: Build and Rescue is a cooperative vehicle engineering sim where you and your crew design, construct, and deploy custom rescue machines. Every boat, helicopter, and plane starts as a blank canvas. You'll wire engines, place rotors, route fuel lines, and program control logic before testing your creations in real rescue scenarios that demand close teamwork and constant communication.

Players assemble functional vehicles using a detailed component editor, then take them into dynamic weather and ocean physics. Cooperative missions split responsibilities: one pilot flies while teammates handle navigation, onboard repairs, or treat injured survivors. Success hinges on smart design and crew coordination, especially when storms hit or systems fail mid-rescue.
Online co-op supports persistent shared worlds where your custom fleet grows over time. Competitive PvP modes are also available for those who want to test designs against other teams. The game runs on Windows and Mac via Steam, with full Workshop support for sharing blueprints and scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does co-op work in Stormworks: Build and Rescue?
You can team up online to design vehicles together and run rescue missions cooperatively. Roles naturally split during missions-one player pilots the helicopter or boat while teammates navigate, repair damaged systems mid-flight, or treat injured survivors onboard. It's communication-heavy, especially when storms roll in or something breaks.
Can we save our progress and vehicles in co-op?
Yes. Online co-op supports persistent shared worlds, so your custom fleet and progress carry over between sessions. You and your crew can keep expanding your rescue service with new designs and completed missions.
Is there PvP, or is it purely cooperative?
The game has both. Co-op rescue missions are the main focus, but competitive PvP modes are available separately if you want to test your vehicle designs against other teams.
