Its a great game and I loved the worldbuilding so there's plenty to talk about. I originally wrote the script up in 2018 because I found the game so interesting but only recently got around to producing it
I believe (when I built the museum in endurance mode) i remember picking up a newspaper article that talked about how prior to the eruption the sun had begun to strangely dim in the sky so there was already worldwide cooling by the point of the Volcanic eruptions.
What I love about these frozen post-apocalyptic settings is the hidden double-edged sword of technology they imply. Fossil fuels started to make life far less nasty, brutish, and short, and have enabled massive advances in the medical, agricultural, and housing fields, without which we couldn't sustain a fraction of the number of people in the world. It becomes especially important in the face of surviving an ice age. Obviously that comes with a price, that the next inevitable ice age of the future comes faster and faster with each passing day. The technology granting billions life, and hope for surviving the future, ultimately leading to death of those same billions. Just like the book of laws in Frostpunk, it's the solution of one problem by causing another and hoping for the best in the future, that this current path might provide a way forward in the future, though it might just kill us all.
Hang on let me just pretend to be a climate change denier, but in the setting of Frostpunk. "You're telling me that volcanoes erupting fire and magma made the world colder? Next you're gonna tell me that the ice caps melting due to global warming is actually making the weather colder for the regions close to them."
You know what could be another solution? I read somewhere that a large ammount of algee can create way too much oxygen in the atmosphere, resulting in way to little greenhouse gases in atmosphere, wich can lower the global temperature. Seeing the steampunk world of Frostpunk, it is likely could have created some sort of algee that grows really quick and lost control of it
That's an interesting one because one of Earth's first major glaciations was caused by the proliferation of photosynthetic algae; but there isn't any evidence of that in the game and that wouldn't be something that could happen so quickly in a realistic sense. Maybe a genetic engineering experiment gone wrong but that wouldn't fit the steampunk setting, maybe a modern disaster movie about averting global warming gone wrong would work. I really should get to making a video about the alternative theories for Frostpunk; Everyone has a lot of good ones. I originally wanted to talk about them but I knew it would make the video too long
@@RoninFoxSpeaks you make some good points, there isn t any indication that algre caused the glaciation, but that being said, there is some indication that the big countries, at least ,knew the glaciation was comming. To me that means that kind of means that the cooling of the planet began slowly, and the big countries had time to explore it. That is why we see so many buildings in the far north, where the gemerators are, the big countries we re studying the effects of the cooling, then something , possibly a volcanic eruption, caused a sudden cooling. And that is why the glaciation kept on goimg for more than 40 years
The Day After Tomorrow is another one I want to cover. I considered mentioning it but it really has nothing to do with Frostpunk other than being about an Ice Age but its pretty cool *rimshot* considering its a real thing that's happening right now to a much less exaggerated degree
It seems to have been mix of multitude of factors; two super-volcano eruptions were mentioned, I think, and sun dimming, both facts found in nansen storm watch, I think, or maybe some in observatory near New London. It was said that there is a lot of papers scouts cannot understeand in Nansen Storm Watch, so it could have contained even more astronomical factors. In any case, it looks like highly unlikely mix of terrible factors. None of them could alone cause this, but with all included, it is quite plausible.
The video is very good, but I find both the title and the intro to be misleading. It seems like you want to talk about Frostpunk technology, perhaps referring to Automaton, steampunk structures, steam-core. Instead you focus on the climate. It's not what you expect at first.
I have to finish editing that part; I hope not more than a week. After I had everything written and did the recording I thought the video would be too long but I wanted to get this one out
Hey its you! I watched you're videos when I was doing research for this; it was one of the things that inspired me to do it since there aren't many people covering Frostpunk lore
Hey man, good news there is a new Video called The Story of Nansen that has been released for your viewing. should you wish to be featured in my videos you can be. Part one that is
The great storm is related to the great blizzard of 1888 which is really close to when Fpk starts
Love that someone is still doing stuff on frostpunk even as long as 6 months ago

Ah yes, the automatons just tumbles down and then gets up
0:23 automatons have a fricking jetpack. You can see one gliding towards the factory in the arks scenario when an engineer borrowed him for research.

The volcanos did contribute to it. The trade winds are the second contributing factor. Although volcanoes can be the main contributor.

Nice job Ronin. Love to see science videos that push tangential learning!

Cool detail adding the stadistic and real life data
The day after tomorrow can give you the best examples of what happened

@@RoninFoxSpeaks the storm that freezes everything follows the same path in frostpunk
@@JustSayingitslore I bet they got inspired by it haha
yeah

Good video but personal I prefer it with just the voice and images .
Anyone else remember Transarctica?

The Snowpiercer is unirronically in the game
Its just that it failed
When is part2?
