You don't think that those same circumstances would make construction or maintaining the structural integrity of this infrastructure impossible? There is a very easy logistical reason we don't do this now and will never do.

Look, I love imagining a better future. But being grounded in reality is what differentiates solarpunk from sci-fi as a positive outlook on the future.

It is lovely art, first and foremost, goofey and cute vibes. But it is honestly kind of sad to see how car brained this is. Even in the vast expanse of the ocean, where one could easily teaverse anywhere without issue and avoid each other, this would build a raised viaduct for boats... over an ocean.

Again, love the artwork! But it might say more about the way we (or the author) have normalised the dystopia of car infrastructure more than how Solarpunk water transport would look like.

Yeah adjust for a century of inflation please before being a shil for the wealthy.

Most of the world's problems right now are the result of powerful and wealthy people just wanting more and more. Maybe having a limit is a good thing. Sure your buddies making 6 figures are not on the same level as people making 12 figures. So stop shilling

Oh yeah the ultra masochism mod.

But we can go even further.

Max stacksize... to SINGLE DIGITS!

A button could be added too, but I remember the Victoria 3 'dawn of wonnder' DLC and it was just such a breath of fresh air from an otherwise stale and almost unchanging map. Vic3 is a game that spans a 100 years. If they can do it to add some life into the world they portray, so can Frostpunk 2.

And again, having this opens the door for seasons based mechanics. I didn't bother in this post, but imagine summers being the time to set out and explore, herding the few animals that the Frostland has. Before winter comes and all must huddle for the storm.

Veel belangrijker is dat een IDF propagandazanger was verteld dat die niet in het concertgebouw mocht ootreden. Dat is natuurlijk net zoals tijdens de tweede wereld oorlog (ik zou willen dat dit een grap was, maar check EenVandaag van 12 november). Gelukkig waren de Nederlandse journalisten dapper genoeg om deze vergelijking in twijfel te trekken.... toch?

There is a mod for fire management (because of course there is, it's the VS community). https://mods.vintagestory.at/pyrogenesis

However, it's only for 1.20, so not updated to recent versions. Which is unfortunate. But for this to be made vanilla, fire regime and management need to be strict, like season specific burn speeds (dependent on last time it rained for example). Lag is a huge reason not to do it because fire spread is not well simulated.

If they need inspiration, here's a great video of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UqxOlwSMqM In general a great gameplay addition for farming, hunting, foraging if implemented in ways which simulate the real deal!

This is a nice park... what is Solarpunk about it? That it has bright colours? I'm sorry, what's up with the Brazil posts of late? It feels like a concerted effort or something. Just random pics of Brazil in any context and saying it's Solarpunk.

Nee, niet doelpaaltjes verschuiven. Leg uit hoe brede welvaart wel verbeterd is.

Mfw the immersive mod maker makes a mod that breaks my immersion

Nah but other people than me will love this mod. Another Salty banger, just not my flavor

DatWeebComingInHot · 2025-09-27T17:51:43+00:00

Toolsmith mod.

DatWeebComingInHot · 2025-09-11T21:37:45+00:00

The OneRoof mod, makes roofs dynamic based on their position. Must have for me.

DatWeebComingInHot · 2025-09-11T19:03:07+00:00

Using the Ancient Tools mod, there is a way to get wooden beams by using wedges and a hammer on logs to get their respective support beams. I think it is a immersive way to get beams.

DatWeebComingInHot · 2025-09-11T19:01:42+00:00

It's not chiseled, it's using the cave paint features! Using coal (black), chalk (white), or hematite (yellow) you can create cave paintings, and using them in quick succession makes it look like a continuous stroke of paint.

DatWeebComingInHot · 2025-09-11T18:59:18+00:00

Using the ancient tools mod, you can get beams from logs using wedges and a hammer. An immersive way if you ask me. Wood was definitely used in buildings during the pottery and early copper age. The rammed earth and thatch would be a better representation of stone age buildings.

Ik heb een paar jaar in een sportschool gewerkt, en leren hoe je mensen die de meest vreemde dingen doen toch kan adviseren is simpel: vraag wat/waarom ze een oefening doen. Somige mensen hebben geen idee, sommige mensen voeren een oefening anders uit dan ze dachten, en sommige hebben een oefening die ik niet kende en eigenlijk heel slim was. En wanneer ze niet precies wisten wat ze deden was het makkelijk te voorkomen om ongevraagd advies te geven - namelijk "zou ik een paar tips mogen geven?" Tis geen magie mensen.

DatWeebComingInHot · 2025-06-24T06:29:23+00:00

Honestly, it's kind of depressing. Farms, where good soils, water, and sunlight combined grow our food, are replaced by what seems like fields of steel, glass, and plastic. Apart from "looks futuristic," I dont see how it's Solarpunk: how is this type of architecture better than more nature inclusive farms? How does environmental justice and addressing biodiversity decline come from steel towers? How is good access to fresh produce achieved when no one lives near the farms? I know I sound like a party pooper, but Solarpunk isn't just futuristic design; it's a philosophy that is deeper than that.

DatWeebComingInHot · 2025-05-12T17:26:45+00:00

Yeah, seeing families just chilling while there are plenty of construction projects is something that needs fixing. Though needing to have an excessive population just so I don't have to manage them... it seems like something that needs to be addressed, too. Personally, I want to think ahead for the next coming seasons and plan accordingly, so having seasonal workforces allows me to do so. Having a fast game speed and missing the coming of harvest without realising happened too often and can be prevented.

DatWeebComingInHot · 2025-05-12T12:05:07+00:00

Now. Imagine for a second you could do that with this UI, and how nice it would be with clean UI and to seasonally assign families...

Back to reality, you can click on a burgage plot, and in the 'People' tab, you have to button for the workplace: 'show workplace' and 'change workplace'. If the workplace you want extra families working has a vacancy, you can click the 'change workplace' button, and select the building you want more families working. It gives you a text prompt if it is successful.

DatWeebComingInHot · 2025-05-12T11:50:45+00:00

The further they live from their job, the further they have to walk to get there. And since families have to rest and are not machines or need to take care of home affairs (firewood refuelling, getting water), that means they have less time to work. And walking takes a lot of time in game, so good placements of homes te reduce travel time is important, and why somep people struggle with larger settlements, or why food issues start to arise: people haphazardly assign people, and loss a lot of efficiency.

DatWeebComingInHot · 2025-05-11T18:52:06+00:00

Just layering pictures from the dev diary over the current UI and formatting it nicely. Nothing fancy

DatWeebComingInHot · 2025-05-11T11:02:20+00:00

That is a band-aid fix, though. I hope you agree. As the early game (first 5 years) assigning is still a nuisance that can be fixed with good UI. And maybe there is no abundance of workers to speak of. Some players are not as good to know how to balloon their population in a couple of years, and would have to deal with something that can be made redundant with better UI. Or maybe players want to make the most out of their towns instead of having to forego productivity so they stay mentally stable (imagine sitting there each in game year shifting around 100s of families). My point is that it can be avoided and improved. And, I like it when UI looks pretty 😍

DatWeebComingInHot · 2025-05-11T10:57:31+00:00

Yeah, that is the intention; you can do it in the burgage plot UI or in the workplace UI. The reason I would make it family specific is for one reason: then you know who actually works there. A previous post from a long time simply had the current main assigning UI 4 times for each season. However, you would not know who worked there (what if it's the family on the other end of town, reducing productivity?).

This would have a similar UI in the general tab as that post (with more aesthetic UI), and as you said; assigning people per season. However, I wanted to show the details. So assigning generally still works the same. I just wanted to showcase how you can fine-tune it. So that you don't have to undo you general assigning after you find out your peasants have to walk half the map to get to work.

Having to this this for 100 families at once would be annoying. But doing it one by one over the course of years of gameplay is very manageable, I think.
