Warning:
Editing game code can result in the game itself malfunctioning. Edit code at your own risk. If, in fact your game breaks, it is not mine nor the developers’ responsibility. Once again, edit code at your own risk.
Step One: Getting A Base Block
In this first step, you will want to get a base block. For this tutorial, I will be using a 3×3 Window since it is simple to work with.
Select your block and place it on the starter cube. Delete the starter cube and make it so you only have the block you need.
Save this block as a new vehicle and title it something you can remember
Step Two: Open File Explorer
Now, open file explorer. Navigate to:
This PC > Windows (C:) > Users > [you] > Appdata > Roaming > Stormworks > Data > Vehicles
Find the xml file to the block you saved. Click on it, then right-click and select: “Edit”
Step Three: Take A Water Break
Being hydrated is essential for you
Step Four: Editing The XML
Nows where we really get to the good stuff. Look for the letter “R” followed by a bunch of numbers separated by commas in whatever software you’re using.
