I Turned Wastelands Into Lush Paradises In Terra Nil! 

"Does a controlled burn" Wander immediately losses control of "burn" that has now become a raging inferno.

I haven't watched all of the video yet but I can already say that Terra Nil is one of the most relaxing games to play for 20-30 minutes at a time. 🙂

27:00 There are decades-old large-scale irrigation projects that gave fantastic results for relatively low negative impacts, like the dam on the Nile river ending the devastating droughts and opening up wide areas of land to agriculture. Of course since it's not in a videogame Terra Nullis, entire towns had to be evacuated in what is now Lake Nasser and sediment flow is significantly blocked. The much feared downstream banks erosion has been minimal, though. And at the opposite you have the Aral sea that vanished because the rivers feeding it are continually drained for crops. The North bassin is filling-up after being walled-off to stop it from just spilling into the dry southern bassin and evaporating in a yearly flood / drought cycle. Projects to dig a canal to refil it with sea water and produce electricity are extremely expensive, and have their own negative points. Not much concern for invasive species since the native ones went extinct when the salt killed almost everything as the Aral sea dried.

50:00 "Monorail, monorail, monorail!" "But the ecosystem is now almost unbroken!" "Sorry mom, the recycling has spoken!"

I played the demo... probably a lot more than most people. Love this game. It's got such a unique (and literal) tactical landscape to explore with the push and pull between industry to reclaim the wasteland and your ease of deconstructing it. Chefs kiss to the developers for wrapping it up in a package of super wholesome, good vibes.

A lot of people apparently were waiting for this game. This is the fourth video of the game I've seen today.

this was such a coincidence. I was playing the demo 8-bit version when this notification popped up!! the change in art style looks neat and glad they're finally reaching a full release on the game. it's honestly such a relaxing and cathartic experience playing it :)

Man, I almost forgot about this game. Nice to know it's coming out soon.

I wonder if this is even the full map, would be neat if after completing all the landmass we can see that the globe spins to unlock a whole new set of continents to reclaim.

50c is half way to boiling, that is _way_ too hot. This is coming from someone who starts to die at any temp above 20c, but still!

13:32 any game with relaxing thunder/rain noises is a great game

Hey, 20:00 - I think You may have found those predators on the hill next to the deer - if You wanted to.

Love seeing someone get to play a game they've been excited about. Especially when I know I won't play it lol

I’m really glad you played further on than the first map. Really enjoying this and would like to see more!

The points are higher due to further structure separation. This makes sense, since the aim of the game is natural reclamation over mankind’s folly.

Holy crap this ticks every one of my "satisfying to brain" boxes

Beautiful visuals and Wander playing this is just relaxing beyond belief

It has big vibes like a game I played way back in the day. Sim park or zoo something like that. Edit: Sim Park from 1996 and it was an absolute banger.

100% fall asleep to ur videos not bc they are boring but are soothing.

you had the opportunity for the wolves, the deers are prey and you had some deers near a forrest wich is the condition for wolves

This game looks very rewarding and calming. Not to mention informative.

This music is so lovely, very very very chill

I played the demo a while back and it's nice to see the second environment and what they added from the demo (like discovering the animals and better climate control).

this looks super relaxing to play

the first Terra Nill vid i saw was during lockdown in 2020, soooo, only about 3 years since the demo!

I also totally like the idea of bringing back life to wasteland and dead deserts maybe extent in some areas with re-population and monster hunting which is why I adored Dragon Quest Builders 1 and 2 so much. Sure there is also Minecraft but DQB looks better. It just would have been nice to have bigger areas to terraform more freely but maybe DQB 3, if it ever happens will satiate my hunger in that regard (not that I believe Square is going for it since they seem so hellbent on NFTs now with a trash game to sell em).

Looks good.

This game is from the Broforce people? I can't wait for the crossover fanarts! XD

I clicked this and hoped it had come out :( I've also been waiting for it for about two years - got the og demo back before it was on Steam. Just a few more days!

love this play the hell out of the demo

AAAAAH SO EXCITED TO WATCH MORE

this video is redi. satisfying and relaxing, this is some game :D

You are meant to use the excavators to retrieve the machinery

Awesome

The Anti-Factorio.

Fynbos rhymes with pain horse.

Finally YESSS!!

Are you going to do another video on terra Nil? i like this:))))

There's many land reclaim videos online many places there trying reclaim wetlands

2:30 Not to minmax this chill game, but I think you're actually losing points on some of those water pumps. They do cost 50 each and they only convert one tile out from the water on each side (and I'm pretty sure water itself isn't worth points, only green). So you need them to reach 25 tiles length of new water to be positive. I think they're definitely worth it with an elevation bonus, slightly worth it if they're getting full range in both directions, and not worth it otherwise.

"Controlled burn"

Hey, can you play noita again 😢 i loved that playthrough 😊
