What are your proposal for new Terraform Stations?
Hi All, I'm TelepathingTilapia, author of the Mod.

I believe you might have noticed the various new "wonders", lorewise called "Terraform Stations/Terraform Projects/Megastructures" in mod, which, for now, concentrates in the United States and Canada.

These includes large scale projects that is realistic or imaginary, such as Illinois-Michigan Canal, Hoover Dam, or Floating City of New York. However, due to lack of my knowledge, I'm less familiar with such projects in places other than North America and China.

Thus, I've opened this thread to take any suggestion on such projects especially in Europe, Latin America, China, and India, as they would be first batch of new updates. However, all advice are welcomed.

Current planned new wonders:

>> Great Shipyards around the world
>> Levee system for Netherland, Bengal Delta, and Java
>> North Sea Underwater Oilfield
>> Expanded Kiel Canal
>> Three Gorges Dam
>> Great Canal of China
>> North-South Water Exchange Program for Shaanxi and Shanxi
>> West Hill Doomsday Vault (An urban legend of my hometown, Beijing. Says that West Hills of Beijing (北京西山) was almost completely converted to doomsday vault during Mao era, for CCP leadership to continue their command in a nuclear war. I'm hesitating of its implementation because it overlaps with the Forbidden City monument)

Maybe some dam on the Nile? Like the real project of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam.

Atlantropa has to be an option. No discussion of Mega projects is complete without it. Cant be as extreme as draining the Mediterranean as the game wouldn't allow it but a mega dam in Gibraltar that provides a ton of Electricity, Transportation, and infrastructure.

@Rampager the game's called "Metro 2033" and is based on the eponymous book series.

But I doubt it's gonna make it — there's just no point in building these bunkers system in Moscow alone. It's not a kind of a megastructure, and not even a unique project.

Like, it's just a part of the grand Soviet plan on two-purpose building: many (if not most) buildings should've served both civil- and war-time purposes. Civil-time purpose is usually some regular stuff. Factory producing something, or a metro station operating as a metro station.

And war-time purpose is often something like "quickly change our civil goods production to the war one" for factory, or "be bunkers" for a metro station.

Thus metro-bunker system isn't exclusive to the Moscow alone. And moreover, all such projects were created during the Soviet reign — without the Soviets there's just no need in such things, nobody would build them.

Some of my ideas. The modifiers I describe are just my facile thoughts and need to be rethoughted, but the idea is following:

>> [Furotingu Tokyo] (Floating Tokyo). State - Kanto. May include prod modifiers like:
- "Nuclear jet Nexus", similarly to irl-airport on the reclaimed land, for increased trade and infra;
- "Extended shipyards of Yokohama", for increased shipyard production;
- "Twilight Bay City", for increased taxes and manufacturing bonus.
Modifiers' idea is based on how floating land is used and how irl japane have reclaimed them over time. May use them separately, or together, but with decreased bonuses.

>> [Niedersächsische Urangruben] (Lower Saxon Uranium Mines). State - Hanover.
Minor giga, based on the fact you'va added a large uranium deposit here. Idea - enormous nuclear-powered rotary excavators, which are used to exploit even more uranium for German industry.
Adds resource industry buff, uranium mines throughput and max level.

>> [Germania] (Capital of the world Germania). State - Brandenburg.
Giga city, based on Hitler's and Speer's plan to rebuild Berlin irl. Enormous atompunk-city with automated services. May include modifiers, like nuclear reactor throughput (built-in reactors), gov administration buff, general manufacturing industries buff.

Off the top of my head:
Siberian River Reversal - various Central Asian states - Soviet-era plan to use dams and canals to redirect large parts of the north-flowing Siberian rivers into Central Asia to increase agricultural capacity.
Lower Lena Dam - Yakutsk - Soviet plan to build a hydropower dam near the mouth of the Lena River, comparable in power-generation capacity to the Three Gorges dam and with a reservoir twice the size of Lake Baikal.
NAWAPA/GRAND - Great Plains/Southwest US/Northern Mexico - American plan similar to the Siberian river reversals, redirecting the flow of Alaskan/Canadian rivers southward into the relatively dry Great Plains and beyond, as far as the Colorado and Rio Grande rivers.
Kra Canal - Tenassarim? - Canal across the Kra isthmus in Thailand, intended to bypass the long loop south through the Straits of Malacca.
Nicaragua Canal - Nicaragua - Alternative to the Panama Canal, abandoned when the US took over the formerly-French Panama Canal project.

For less historically grounded things, maybe an Atacama Solar Farm? Lake Maracaibo Mega-Shipyard? Green Sahara (and/or refilling the Holocene North African lakes)? Congo Sea?

Some stuff i found scrolling trough wikipedia
Northern European Enclosure Dam: a dam to protect northern europe from rising water levels. Has a wikipedia article.

Red Sea Dam: dam off the red sea to produce 50 gigawats of electricity.

Bridge of the Horns: bridge between yemen and djibouti

The Line: saudia arabia mega city that is just a line

Sunda strait bridge: bridge between sumatra and jawa

Qattara Depression Project: Dam to flood some dessert in egypt

Denmark has a bunch of quite big bridges that have been built like öresund bridge or great belt bridge

The wikipedia article "Intercontinental and transoceanic fixed links" has a bunch of bridges and tunnles.

There is allso the article "List of transport megaprojects" that has a bunch more

Moving an entire city 5 km eastward to make way for new mineral deposits? That's one hell of a terraforming project, and it is happening IRL right now in Kiruna, northern sweden. That could be a cool thing to add!

Maybe some kind of wood megaproject? I notice that if you REALLY get going, some of the basic resources that don't have atomic upgrades... kind of get pricey.

I don't know how much you can visually change the world map with projects in this game, but here's an interesting proposed terraforming project. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahara_Sea

Bit late, but you could include the Grand Coulee Dam in Washington State, which is the highest nameplate capacity power station in the US.
