What happened to the rest of the Frostpunk world?

What happened to the rest of the Frostpunk world? How realistic is this scenario and could anything close to this actually happen or is this just a creative narrative device? This episode builds on the concepts explored in part one; volcanic winters, albedo, the Ice Age, climate change and more in this episode of Ronin Speaks: Your tangential learning experience!

Id also like to mention it's been stated that the equator is quickly becoming overpopulated from people moving in from both the north and the south, So yeah.

4:17 The reason why a Frostpunk-universe Earth would have different snowfall patterns in the Northern and Southern hemisphere is due to the Earth's 23.5 degree tilt from the axis (meaning that if the Northern hemisphere tilts towards the sun, the Southern hemisphere would tilt away from the sun, and vice versa); this is the reason why seasons differ between both hemispheres on regular Earth

Moreover, the Northern hemisphere had greater surface area of landmass covering the oceans than the Southern hemisphere, and since ocean water has a higher heat capacity than land terrain (and therefore warms up and cools down more slowly), this means that continents on the Northern hemisphere experiences a wider range of both hot and cold seasonal temperatures, while the Southern hemisphere smaller continents experience a relatively more mild and smaller range of monthly temperatures year-round.

Thus, in a Frostpunk-themed apocalypse, the Northern hemisphere would experience a much colder winter yet a somewhat relatively warmer "summer" year-round than the Southern hemisphere.

Since precipitation derives from the evaporation of water vapor in warmer areas and condensation within the colder atmosphere, it makes sense that the Northern hemisphere would experience more severe snowstorms and snowfall than the Southern hemisphere

I like to think that the golf stream stopped flowing to Europe.

Thus the situation globally doesn’t need to be as horrifically bad to make sense.

Personal when I saw frostpunk 2 I had heavy thoughts into the sun dimming lore snippet as maybe coming back into play. Like the volcanos ash may have frozen the planet, or at least the northern half, but then the sun being less effective caused a feed back loop of never thawing
But thats my take on the guessing

[vaclavnovacek]

In the main scenario of the game if you visit one of the observation posts it is mentioned that the cold is not due to vulcanic ashes but dimming of the sun

The offical answers from the game Devs, February 2023:


In game lore and pervious information from the Devs- the great Storm came from the southern hemisphere northwards, wiping out many who had fled to the tropics to flee from the frost. And the storm continued north which we encounter in game.

This was very well made, well thought out, and informational :)

Only tiny part of equator are habitable in the lore, that is why there is generator city even that part of equator now have 4 season.

I think it's mentioned somewhere that event in frostpunk is because polar shift.

[hellsonion]

"The sun is dimming" i think one of the scientist journals say.

[josephquinnswolin]

Kentucky would be in unchanged in frostpunk the weather because for some reason it decides its own weather.

*The rest? IIt's now called Gates Family Farmville Hell.*

Important to remember that the Northern Hemisphere includes half of Africa and most of Asia.

[nolanjdon]

Personally my head cannon has it that some large extraterrestrial object like a rogue planet or something traveled a little too close to earth causing our orbit to elongate slightly. This is why it was a gradual fall over a couple seasons rather than a direct boom so to say. It would also explain why conditions are still shit 30 years later which you wouldn’t expect from a volcanic winter alone or a solar minimum.

[marcelgrabowski]

Frost being triggered by two supervolcanos eruptions and sun periodically dimming, then persisting because of albedo is a really good explanation to how Frostpunk can be still so frosty for decades, centuries even. Like, to the point that only geoforming solutions employed in far future of the verse could possibly change it within sensible timeframe. Huh, Frostpunk space program. Now that sounds interesting.

I have wanted someone to answer this question for ages! Thank you :D

[VicZam]

I recently started playing Frostpunk again, this time on Xbox. I have it on PC as well, with most of the achievements done except for some of the extreme and survivor modes. I love this game and 11bit studios! I'm eagerly awaiting the sequel.

Excellent video and good breakdown. I've subscribed, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your content.

I'm curious to see whether or not in Frostpunk 2 one of the endings is that the world eventually recovers and civilization can go back to normal.
Looking at how it is in the current setting life absolutely sucks, Humanity is on it's knee's fighting for survival every second as the cold gets even more colder and the storms come even closer.

It makes sense in this timeline cause of how unprepared they are for this event, but in a modern setting It would be obvious that Modern Humans could survive this better than they did.

I always thought the rest of the earth is cold, but not horribly cold. Like the areas near tropics are still decently warm and livably, maybe with harsh winters and cold summers

-I just really want it to fit my "Spanish canary islands geothermal generator" fanfiction-

[pringle]

Feels like the situation might be a snowball earth because the game hits -140 celcius and tbry wouldnt have built the generators if they were could just move everybody south.
