Can't wait for Rapture
I'd sure as shit want to live there, at least for a while.
As above, so below.
Lets get this shit done.
no gods or kings only man
but the parasites said NO, all of the built cities have to be exclusively above ground, exploring space is more important than exploring the oceans, we do not have enough resources.
Hey maybe if we build Rapture all of the libertarians will leave.
we can't even build a bridge across the Bering Strait lmao

The only thread theme that applies
What a nuytte idea
It better have more Art Deco than a Ayn Rand themed orgy in downtown New York.
how exactly will they plan to fabricate new segments under the sea, or have private development, or you know... operate like a city
Imports and exports, like any city. As long as it has enough to export it can work
sooooo being a very closed ecosystem that implies a planned economy, centrally managed to balance needs and exports...
how is this not communism?
What would an underwater city have to export? 🤔
Not a single clue
There are apparently some difficult to reach ocean-floor minerals which might prove to be of significant value, but are as of yet not economical to acquire. Not sure if a seabed-city would solve that problem though.
At least, I thought I remembered hearing about something along those lines.
All the Libertarians can go to Nuytten's Rapture, and all of the conservatives can go to Burre's Columbia.
I for one welcome this idea.
I guess my biggest question is "why?" Unlike, say, space exploration, ocean cities are fighting against a lot of problems like water erosion, rust, drastically higher pressure, and so on, with little pay-off; at least with colonies on the moon or mars, you're building up experience and knowledge and protocol for colonizing planets outside of our solar system that may have vast resources that the mars or the moon simply don't have. Underwater cities just seem to be filled with complications and challenges with few rewards in the long-term.
Because it's cool
Also severe mental issues for anyone living there longer for a month, which is the whole impetus for Bioshock 2.
Plasmids.
Water
Hey if you don't want to be in the cool kids underwater club then you can stay on land
Damn this is just like that game System Shock 2
Water
Lots and lots of water
We gotta start practicing for our Europa colony. Fingers crossed there will be sea monsters the size of buildings so we need to get some practice in while we can.
He's probably going to get nuytten done
Salt.
Will Overwatch finally get a competitor?
