"Oh the Cold icon is leaking oil... That's a neat concept." *13 seconds later* "Nope. It's bleeding now... Shit."

[@MichaelTheRead]

Blood in the oil! BLOOD IN THE OIL!!!

Its so wild to think about how long theses storms last now, it frostpunk one it was just one week, Now its 20 WEEKS of a NONSTOP FREEZING COLD storm, and now it just become a stable of these peoples life for jut almost half a year to stay put in their houses from this storm that nearly wiped them out in the past.

I think they end up becoming something similar to how we see winter regularly, just scaled up. Imagine having winter for a bit less than %40 of the year. People still work, it's just much colder now.

[@TouhouFan]

​@@keybYeah, like, our ancestors were saying how it was the end of the world when they touched -10°C, but now, there are people living on places where -30°C is marked as "summer"

Let’s remember, storms in the frost punk world are something common, in the first week of the new London scenario it says that part of the convoy it separated cause a storm hit the dreadnaught, in the arks scenario we don’t know if it is the same storm and lastly, the storm in the new London is THE GREAT storm, so yeah… the storms became longer due to the sun dimming, and also I love the new name of the storms “whiteout” like people are no longer terrified by them and just they call them cold seasons

[@slay7584]

They don't even stay put in their homes, they literally have to work otherwise it will get even worse.

[@g3ar75]

​@@naganolopezjuliocesar2432I thought I understood that the whiteouts were longer but milder variations of the great storm but I could be wrong. Still awesome either way

[@Ezra411st]

It sounds so similar to an Air Raid Siren

[@nicoconcha2128]

lo que ocure que todas las sirenes macanicas, funcionan por el mismo principio fisico, asi que suenana similar, en mi pais esas tipo de sirena aun se usan en cuarteles de bomberas para llamar a los bomberar a caudir producto de un incendio, cuando se decreta una evacuacion (vivo en un pais que los terremos, tsunamis y erupciones volvanicas son freceuentes en comparacion para el resto del mundo). asi que es normal que un un mundo pre digital como el de Frostpunk aun se usen las cieren mecanicas de aire

Well an "Air Raid" siren is actually just a civil defense siren, which is designed to warn the public of any sort of catastrophic occurrence that is about to happen. In this case, a weeks long snowstorm is quite a deadly issue, hence the use of a civil defense siren here. I love how the devs tied a real life occurrence into this.

[@AngryHobo2]

@@shimo_96 What makes the siren even better is that apparently it's the correct warning tone. When it comes to "Civil Defense Sirens" they can do a steady rising tone, followed by a steady falling tone to indicate a natural disaster. If the tone fluctuates as it rises and falls that's variant is used to indicate a nuclear or otherwise massive attack. So not only is the siren a great bit of world-building, it's also accurate!

[@JahJah-CleverHandle]

@@AngryHobo2 This is true! I live near a volunteer fire station, and so whenever there’s an emergency I hear it, and it sounds just like how you described it and how the game portrays it!

[@교역소주인]

Even though air raid sirens sound like lullaby because I'm Korean, this storm siren when I played beta version was really creepy

[@20storiesunder]

Fantastic, bravo. To take the world ender from the 1st game and make it into something humans have planned around is to show the true might of what makes humanity.

[@MattRebel-s9f]

These whiteouts are not as strong as the great storm was but it does show how far humanity has come at adapting

[@NoobyChris]

Sounds slowed down and lower pitched

[@Jabamski]

Holy shit! 😲

[@Richard_the_chiken]

Ukraine be like:

[@Canopus1026]

This SFX definitely fit the mood, It was creepy when I faced the first storm (...and the city has been frozen)

[@astillia6073]

-100 degree Celsius storms is insane. Idk how you'd chart it but isnt that like frostbite within 5 minutes? If you were outside to just throw out the garbage you would be injured.
