The World
Weather on Earth in 4444
The weather is cyclical and gives way to climatic upheavals forcing the player to provide suitable equipment in order to perform well the following season.
This weather is a capricious: it lasts from 1 to 3 months, but fortunately: it is both cyclical and predictable. The seasons drastically change the way of playing and it will be necessary to prepare in advance so as not to be caught off guard. These may be resources that are only found in one season, excessively hot temperatures requiring suitable equipment or even ubiquitous clouds cutting off any possibility of using solar panels.
La Grande Machine a déjà calculé des données accessibles que la première saison devrait durer The Great Machine has already calculated from accessible data that the first season should last around 70 days +/- 5 days. Seasonal changes are noticeable about 10 days in advance. The name of the seasons will be decided by the community, in the meantime, here is a preview.
Climate: Cold (-)
Visual style: Desaturated and arid
Biome: Sunless, Ice, Minerals, Vegetation -
General idea: deprived of solar energy, access to energy is limited. Appropriate equipment is necessary to operate in optimal conditions.
Climate: Normal (+), rare rains
Visual style: Diversified
Biome: Sun, Wood, Water, Stone, Vegetation +
General idea: The vegetation is reborn offering a range of forgotten fauna and flowers and opening up new crafts, stock up!
Climate: Hot (++), frequent rains
Visual style: Warm colors + Spectacular vegetation
Biome: Sun, water, stone, vegetation ++, humidity.
General idea: New possibilities are still unlocked via lush vegetation, fauna also seems to have gained strength.
Climate: Very hot (+++)
Visual style: Red
Biome: Sun, irradiated water, minerals, vegetation, radiation, asteroid rain.
General idea: The stresses related to heat intensify and new ones arrive because of the radiations. Only the most prepared have the necessary equipment to survive this furnace!
The starting area
In 4444 the Great Machine begins to scan the earth in nuclear winter for habitable zones. Despite thick clouds an area without deep marshes, without irradiation and without magnetic fields has already been found in western France.
The starting area is the first relatively large habitable area scanned by GM. It is an area of a hundred km2.
Only after a joint effort will players be able to offer the Great Machine the resources to scan other habitable areas, pair a teleporter there, and expand there.
Because yes, in 4444 teleporters are now accessible via a technically and scientifically incredibly complex sequence but whose daily use has been made as simple as that of an elevator: one button and go!
