[@CloudberryPine]

Thanks for making a video about my game! It means a lot to me :) I've never seen that many bees before! I might have to fix that lag issue...

[@basshammer1906]

That fact that the game lagged that hard without crashing is impressive. Fair play

[@gibran.zidane]

cool game bro, we need more chill games like this. btw are you by any chance inspired by thin matrix? because I enjoy watching his vlogs and this game reminds me of his game equilinox

[@takumi2023]

Do you have any thoughts on making it connect to a riparian system? A swamp, lake, coastal, and or marine ecosystem.

[@JoelPeltonen]

Inspired by SimPark (1996)? Excellent game, kind of inspires me to make something similar, but maybe slightly more automated and 2D like Sim park :)

[@andreas_rr]

i would suggest putting a clicking cooldown on the actions, even if it's just like 1-2s for each animal/hive/etc., that should prevent "autoclick-abuse" and probably save some people from getting insane because they spam-click everything for fast bp

[@agathoklesmartinios8414]

On the size of mooses, I have heard the following guideline to determining how big they are: however big you think a moose is, double it.

[@Deathraven693]

Seems videos of them walking in Canada, they're like, I dunno, much bigger than a horse.

[@dakotawarner9414]

I’ve never actually seen a live moose but there is the skeleton of one in a field where I live and I can attest that just the back leg come up to my chest. It’s also really heavy

[@RandomQualityGaming]

I’ve seen a couple of them in person they are big. But one time I walked very close to one and I didn’t even notice it was there.

[@tokersheadshop]

Moose are enormous, very dangerous, and agressive. They can grow to be over 2m tall and weigh 700+Kg; they can also run over 50km/hr. This does not stop people from coming to Canada for Moose cuddles ... it rarely goes well.

[@Qwarzz]

And they run at that speed in a thicket you can't even see thru

[@BallistikKitty]

As a Canadian, can confirm, was shocked when Matt said he thought Moose were the size of deer.

[@raznaak]

If you hit a deer with your car, your car has a dent in it and the deer is spread all over it and the road. If you hit a moose with your car, your car is totalled, you go to the hospital or the morgue, and the moose gets up and walks away (many still die afterwards of internal injuries though).

[@evilbob840]

For people (like me) who don't live in Canada, just remember they are bigger than horses.

[@willbrolley262]

Moose can literally derail trains. Yes, they are absolutely That Big.

[@Phootaba]

Hey RCE regarding Moose, I explained Moose to an international student, "It was a young moose, so only the size of a horse"

[@andrewbogard2411]

​@@raznaakI think I might have responded to you on another comment but either way I have seen cars and trucks after collisions with deer and they are totaled after it but you probably won't have to go to the hospital.

@@raznaak The biggest difference between the two is that when you hit a deer your front end hits their torso, but when you hit a moose your front end just takes out their legs and their torso lands on your windshield.

Depends on the tree. Roots can go pretty far down if you have a deep rooting tree. Birches tho, not so much.

I got to 2:25 in the video before immediately pausing, looking to see if the game was purchasable on steam, and then downloading and playing the demo in freeplay until I had all the plants and animals with autopooping. I'm not even going to finish watching the video, I am sold.

[@fedo18]

theres a channel called "Real Civil Engineer Game" and im pretty sure theyre stealing you videos

[@ChojiYume]

Figured I would let you know it does actually take more than one colony of ants to reproduce. Most ants that you see are female, the only time they are not is if they have wings during breeding season and the queens mate with as many males as possible so they birth ants all their life. There is only a few types of ants that don't do this and they are rare.

[@gimpytheimp]

"Moose the size of deer" lol. Those thing can destroy some cars if hit on the highway.

[@nuru666]

A very young moose is the size of a deer. An adult moose is the size of a radioactive, mutant deer on 6 kinds steroids

[@greenjackle]

Moose are the largest members of the deer family, standing six feet (1.8 meters) tall from hoof to shoulder, and weighing in at more than 1,000 pounds (450 kilograms). Each of their light to dark brown hairs is hollow, and the air trapped inside provides insulation.

I can confirm pine kinda grows through winter and doesn't lose the needles during fall... spring is beautiful with the new lime green ones on the tips, so cute, but a nightmare after the old ones fall and die... 1000s of leaves vs 10000s maybe 100000s with a yard full. I love Washington (this why we called evergreen: pine, and all its cousins) but the needles get everywhere

[@TupperGamer28_90]

Matt is like one of those youtubers that does things in the weirdest way you ever can do in a Video Game and still made it look easy.

[@nineomite]

Moose are incredible, but in day to day life they're a bit of a menace - they're territorial and aggressive, the *average* male is over 800 pounds, and they're built in such a way that if you hit them with your car their body falls directly on the car's occupants.

[@Hawk7886]

Only for small cars.

[@BSZome]

[@hippiedude2232]

Trees irl will strangle each others roots if theres a resource shortage, that said they and other plants will share excess resource if the roots grow down into a mycelium patch.

[@Gatorboy5678]

As someone with whatever the opposite of a green thumb is, animals eat berries, seeds, etc. and when they poop the seeds in the berries or whatnot goes into the ground and plants more berries for more creatures to eat and poop out.

[@matthewtalbot-paine7977]

That is very much a correct size for a moose. They are basically the elephant of northern forest. Even a grizzly bear is smaller.

To answer your question: Yes mooses, meese, whatever they are called, are giant. The thing you might think about are elks, they are kinda the same but smaller.

[@LDK1001]

Yes Matt, it really does need 2 ant hills to make more anthills, since new ant queens need to mate make more ant hills

[@lilyfhonazhel2675]

The inaccurate root growth is painful to look at. That's not how tree roots look under the soil, they're more like a carpet because they need to be able to breathe. The root that does reach deep are tap roots or anchor roots. If normal roots grow like that, they will suffucate. How do you think tree roots were able to function as frame for the soil if not by growing close to the surface?

Trees in the same family with recognize each others roots and avoid competing in the same soil for water (or will share those resources). Unrelated trees dgaf and will comingle roots and grow at the others expense (or compete for those resources).

[@UnicornBlueLifeUltraSienna]

22:20 it’s because they are related, the new queens fly out to mate with the males of other colonies
