#Waterworld, the game #BarrenPlanet itself, and other expansions are available from the Barren Planet Itch page: https://cyningstan.itch.io/barren-planet. Keep an eye on this page for future expansions and other news.
The Ice Shelf is the source of the planet's Ice Flows, and is solid enough that Ports and other land units can be established there. https://cyningstan.itch.io/waterworld. #ibmpc #msdos #cga #BarrenPlanet #Waterworld
In the colder regions of Dalen there are Ice Flows. Like Sandbanks, these are accessible only to Hoverbugs, Air Fighters, and to Mining Boats which can carefully navigate among them. https://cyningstan.itch.io/waterworld. #ibmpc #msdos #cga #BarrenPlanet #Waterworld
At the bottom of the sea lie the Crystal Nodes. Mining Boats are equipped with submarines to bring up the resources, and also with drones to ferry those resources back to Port. https://cyningstan.itch.io/waterworld. #ibmpc #msdos #cga #BarrenPlanet #Waterworld
Like its naighbour Dapra, Dalen is a volcanic world, with plenty of active volcanoes piercing the ocean surface. These are dangerous even for Air Fighters to travel over, so all the units in the game avoid them. https://cyningstan.itch.io/waterworld. #ibmpc #msdos #cga #BarrenPlanet #Waterworld
All of the boats and ships can travel over Deep Water, as well as the Air Fighters. It is here that most of the large-scale naval battles take place, since the bigger ships can't navigate shallower water. https://cyningstan.itch.io/waterworld. #ibmpc #msdos #cga #BarrenPlanet #Waterworld
Shallows are the areas of the ocean generally near the coasts. Their waters are calm enough to allow hoverbugs to float over them, but they are not deep enough to allow Cruisers or Battleships to pass. https://cyningstan.itch.io/waterworld. #ibmpc #msdos #cga #BarrenPlanet #Waterworld
Sandbanks clog up many of the rivers and coastal areas around the islands. Air Fighters and Hoverbugs can travel over Sandbanks, but of the sea units, only Mining Boats can navigate these shallow areas, and even those at a careful pace. https://cyningstan.itch.io/waterworld. #ibmpc #msdos #cga #BarrenPlanet #Waterworld
Open Ground forms most of the larger islands, and this is where Ports are built. Ports are generally next to Deep Water in order that the port can build and repair the largest ships. Hoverbugs and Air Fighters can move over this terrain. https://cyningstan.itch.io/waterworld. #ibmpc #msdos #cga #BarrenPlanet #Waterworld
As you'd expect for a campaign called "Waterworld", most of the maps are made up of ocean. But there are small areas of land that poke up above the ocean surface, and there is a variety of terrain there. https://cyningstan.itch.io/waterworld. #ibmpc #msdos #cga #BarrenPlanet #Waterworld
