Oddly enough Planetbase is my favorite city-builder in spite of never truly being finished. It's that retro aesthetic and the ability to sit INSIDE the habitats. The mechanics feel good too, zapping meteors outta the air and dealing with the landing pads.
There are "seasonal" currents in the sea of different temperatures but they tend to stick to specific routes (El Nino & La Nina) but the ocean tends to stay a uniform temperature but its more dependant on how deep you are, close to volcanic activity etc which is why life survives better in seas during global catastrophes
i was thinking the seasonal currents are not on the sea bed, but much closer to the surface. there are rivers undersea, i don't think those are seasonal.
In addition, underwater you have uniform pressure and a great source of water to dump your waste heat into. That's kind of a big problem with space colonies...
@@vforwombat9915 your referring to the thermocline, it creates a layer of 'warm' water that has its own currents due to heating and cooling while not mixing with the more stable deeper water, the depth of it varies from place to place depending on a dozen different factors but normally its around 100-200 meters. If you assume in game you are building within that zone and the meteor messed up the normal Thermohaline circulation (say by hitting the arctic) you could see some quite drastic seasonal temperature changes. Then of course its the fact that all that is irrelevant as its a game and you are building automated buildings in seconds, but its a fun thought experiment as to 'what if'
All that bad rep because of lazy translations. An Orca is not a Killer-Whale so much as a Whale-Killer, mistranslated from spanish to english. So it's perfectly fine to put your head in the mouth of one of the largest carnivore mammals on the planet 😆

Let's see we have a bunch of drones that basically keep our colony from turning into an underwater tomb. What they hell would we need batteries for? Oh Splat I do so enjoy your antics and no worries you'll soon learn exactly why you want to be producing batteries...LOL I was able to get an alpha invite simply by requesting it on Steam and I think they're still granting them to people as of Sep 21st. This is a good game with the bones of a Great game, let's hope they bring it across the finish line because as it sits it's fun. The upside is there's so much potential here for future DLC/Content it has a shot at being one of the Greats...
Indeed, SCG, ocean waters do change temperature, but I'm pretty sure that colonizing the ocean floor means your equipment can handle the temperatures since they can handle the pressure at that depth
They have slightly elevated keyboard overpasses specifically for stopping cats from stepping on keyboards. It's like 4 inches high so you can still type.
It's a good thing that we had the foresight to ensure there was a healthy supply of plastics on the ocean floor for future generations in their hour of need. Imagine having the technology and engineering knowhow to build a colony underwater then filling the dome with 100% oxygen lol!
The first thing I thought about when the game told you this was a post apocalyptic underwater world after a meteor strike is, "Is this a prequel to Soma?"
Seems like the design of this game could have expanded the pipe system so that you choose what travels along the connectors. So you could have Pipes for all liquids and gases, Wiring for high voltage electricity, People Tubes, and Goods Tubes. The more of them you combine the less resources they individually require, but when any one of the breaks down then it can cause that whole section of connector to go offline until it's fixed (depending on the combo). Something a little extra to add a bit of traffic design to this colony sim.
Thank you for falling on the obstructed view grenade for us. I was actually gonna purchase an obstructed view ticket to a concert. Now, I've changed my mind. You're just all about taking one for the team, aren't ya! lol. Saint SplatterCat.
I work recovering ill and injured sea animals, also teaching about them at schools. Once like 40 orcas beached 3km away from my workplace and we spent the next 3 days sending them back to the sea, sadly 3 didn't survive. Funny how everyone who sees dolphins are like "oh so cute! so playful!" and orcas (which are dolphins too, the more you know) are like "scary! killer whales!"... Fun fact, never in the history of humankind has a wild orca killed a human (unlike wild dolphins that have at least 1 confirmed case that i remember)! But there's been many cases of domesticated orcas doing so... so you probably did well not sticking your head in the mouth, i wouldn't take my chances either lol
Just a thought but, you mention daisy chaining buildings.... Interesting idea here - what if only specific buildings could be daisy chained? Buildings that are the same like connecting multiple turbines link together to create a bigger turbine facility? Also buildings that cooperate together such as a depot and a gathering facility, or oil and an oil refinery. Doing it that way makes that planning you mentioned extremely important since you can increase the cost of pipelines to make it so you really want to plan ahead so you can save on pipelines. I actually enjoy the fact building pipeline connections are limited, it makes perfect sense as it's kinda weird when you connect pipelines at the ass end of a building where it has no business being, and it also adds the ability to create visual effects such as ports for the building to connect and make it obvious this is where the pipe connects to.
To answer your question, yes, it's possible for ocean currents to change. Sadly, it's not a seasonal thing. Climate change is driving it with things like cold freshwater melts from the polar ice caps. SciShow has a few videos on the topic.
To be clear, Dawn of Man and Planetbase were made by Madruga Works, whereas Aquatico is developed by Digital Reef Games and published by Overseer Games, who also made Patron.
I loved Planetbase, but it didn't have a lot of content. Unfortunately I felt like it was just a proof of concept for them to create Dawn of Man later. That seems like a nicer game, but the sci-fi space theme is way more appealing to me so I was a little dissapointed.
@@ezequielblanco8659 Dawn of Man is my absolute favorite town building game to date. I love that you can build the town, but it's not SUPER micromanagey. I have 230 hours into Dawn of Man so far lol.
@3:25 Especially with something like Orcas who are highly socialized pack hunters. IIRC they go kinda insane in captivity, and sometimes take it out of handlers and/or audience members.
Bet your cat is trying to mess up your computer 😁 freezing temperatures currents are a real thing, moving water takes a lot lower temperature to freeze that's why lakes and ponds freeze first before rivers and streams do Totally agree on the arrows I didn't know they were there until SplatterCat pointed it out
Ooooh this one looks pretty cool! You don't have a lot of underwater stuff but I always thought it would show some really great different things you have to deal with if you try to colony build under the seas.
Planet gets destroyed so people have to live under water. First thing they do, is making tons of plastic. This isn't fantasy, this is definitely what we would do! 😂
Surface water is always warmer than deep water due to convection. On the surface, warmer currents run north and south away from the equator. Below, on the ocean floor, colder currents run south and north towards it. These lower cold currents actually operate in reverse of the seasons on the surface, so it would be a cold summer current if you were on the ocean floor.
"Everybody love drone go boop, dude. And if you don't believe me... I would like to direct you to the important documentary called Star Wars" it's sound bites like this that keep me coming back for more indie game playthroughs 💖 you are one hilarious guy with amazing stories
Hey, just wanted to leave a comment that your last couple of videos are really helpful to me. My PC died after eight years of service, and I am unable to check out these great demos that Steam is offering in their current sales, and your videos are really helping me to get an idea about these games.
Navy Seals will only be pulled out of the water during training for Orca ... great white shark? nope back in the water .. Orca .. ok everybody out of the pool lol
This game looks like *Aven Colony* only underwater instead of on another planet. Aven Colony is a good game though, I own it, so this might be worthwhile as well. There is a free demo of _Aquatico_ currently on Steam.
Woohoo, first comment. G'day Splat. I have you piloting one of my ships in Star Valor given the developers created a character in your honour. Love what you're doing, keep it up.
I saw Star Wars Episodes 4,5,&6 when i was very young when they first came out. So I'm old but i agree with you Star Wars is the best with it's sound affects, for that time period.
i am shocked ... i always thought splat has a very similar game taste and opinion of things as me. but now i learn he does not like tutorials... i love them i play them alway even if i know what's going on
its more like a lack of the sun heating the water but currents can carry warmed water through the ocean, but that amount of water would suck the heat out of such currents so fast that warm water wouldnt travel very far as warm water. I could be wrong though.
I'm glad I now have the narrative in my head of some whale-handler accidentally kicking an orca's bowl of weeties into the water on their way past and the orca eating a small child in retaliation.
I've been watching you for awhile - and just now noticed you must live INCREDIBLY close to where I do. Anyhow always enjoyed your content and keep it going man!

You'd still need heating systems though. Pressure resistance does not equal insulation. But tech wise you'd think they'd figure that out.

The first thing I thought about when the game told you this was a post apocalyptic underwater world after a meteor strike is, "Is this a prequel to Soma?"

There was one undersea RTS a long time ago named Submarine Titans from year 2000 :-) One of the best undersea thing 😁

Sea Baron IS Rad. I agree! ☠ Yar, if feeling Piratey!
"this can go anywhere really, lets plop it down on 100% fertile ground".
Booty base kinda sounds like bouillabaisse and since this is an ocean game, it fits extra well. Probably an unintended pun but still lol

"Maximum strength weiners" instant classic
this feels like somone played anno 2070 and made own game based just on underwater stuff.
Sea temperatures are very stable throughout the year. Especially as depth increases. I don't think there is an oceanic winter, as such.
