How to Stay Calm Even When the Game Doesn't Work
Things to Consider:

1. It's NOT the end of the world! It's literally just a bug in the game.

2. The devs will probably fix it in a day or two (probably a day).

3. No one is FORCING you to play Stormworks.

4. Harassing developers is not going to make them fix it any quicker. They have a life too.



How to Avoid Freaking Out:

1. Take a deep breath. It's going to be fixed. No, you didn't lose 3 million hours of your time. You made the decision to spend that on a game which is currently in development.

2. Step outside for a few hours and enjoy the world around you. It's a lot prettier than you may think.

3. Take this as an opportunity to listen to a podcast, audiobook, or your favorite music and enjoy yourself. Life has a lot more to it than just playing this game. I understand why it may feel frustrating, but everyone is in this together.
You Don't Like Someone's Work?
We've all been there. We find something that we don't like on the workshop. Some people take it upon themselves to express their full feelings in the comments of the workshop item, which is the last thing you should realistically be doing.


Things to Consider Before Commenting:

1. Is my comment harming or helping the creator?

2. Could I provide a suggestion instead of an insult?

3. Is my comment truly appropriate considering the situation?

4. Could it be my fault if something on the workshop item isn't working correctly? (Try and find what's wrong before you send a comment, berating the creator.)
Conclusion


Again, it's really not the end of the world if you don't like a creation or an update, and the best thing to do is either just give advice to the creator or leave it alone. Developers are people too at the end of the day, and even if you don't like them, insulting people is such an immature and useless way of expressing your feelings, especially when it's based around an opinion. Be helpful and kind. And don't forget... you're not the main character!

Have a good day, and try to enjoy your life. Things get better even if you think it's the end. Even when it's a video game update... yeah... crazy, I know.

devs: release an update that fundamentally changes how certain vehicles work in the game, and makes the game physically unplayable due to game breaking bugs for a whole week

this guy: its actually the community's fault for getting mad.
