Lore wise the world has become an over flooded and polluted hellhole, which means that arable and liveable land is at high premium. So, with the notable exception of Apple Trees, anything that is natural produce or fauna is either going to be:

  1. Unavailable to the general masses since they’d be exclusively reserved for the upper elites who don’t even dwell in cities (for example, those folks in “The Fields”, assuming that place exists as advertised). In this case they should not be available in shops at all.
  2. They are available at shops, but due to their scarcity they are exorbitantly priced: maybe 200 crows at a minimum or something like that.

L: Some counterpoints:

  • There's cheap wine. Wine is made from grapes, and therefore grapes are available.
  • There's cheap burgers, which means bread products are available.
  • There's synthmilk, which could presumably be used to make yogurt, along with ice cream.
  • The fries are explicitly made from real potatoes. Logically follows that onion rings would be readily available, since they're also root vegetables that can tolerate a wide variety of climates.
  • Rising sea levels logically wouldn't impede the availability of seafood. If anything, I'd expect the availability of fish to increase.

Sea levels also rose less than advertised, the devs on twitter shared a fan map of the Shadows of doubt world.

Being the only map I have ever laid eyes upon for this world, im assuming its as close to canon as we can get (maybe the globes are acurate?)

Australia still exists

Those are good counterpoints. Just two comments (counter-comments(?)) about them:

  1. They may claim the fries are made from “real potatoes”, but given the lore and setting, I’m more inclined to take that claim with a grain of salt or two.
  2. It’s not really a question of whether or not there exists more aquatic life than before, but whether said life is a) edible and b) safe for human consumption, given the rampant pollution so heavy that even a quick dip in the water can send you to the hospital.

Being an Australian citizen myself, I can’t help but approve of this map. 😀

But yeah, that’s a lotta land. Enough so that farming and animal husbandry shouldn’t be an issue. But…

I wonder why most of the world population is cramped into little islands for cities? Did the Mustard War make large tracts of land inhabitable? If yes, then I also wonder how much of that land is arable? Or maybe that’s only true for folks in United Atlantic States?

L: Like, even with a city this small, it's obscenely computationally intense to simulate all those NPCs at once.

#

L: So gotta have the city be fairly small to avoid needing an entire data center to play the game.

Pollution. Sure there's land but alot of it is mega polluted.

And Starch Kola was advertissed to fight against radiation poisoning. Sure it was called the mustard war. But ONE thing causes radiation, and it tends to stick around. Im thinking Fallout style

#

This is sourced in the ingame books and loading screen hints

#

This would also explain why we live in the sea.

T: The Mustard War was 80 years ago. The worst of the fallout would have decayed by now.

#

If that was the last war

#

I dont think Starch lets us know the full picture

#

we could very well still be at war, but they didnt tell us.

#

In popularised media like fallout, 400 years after the bombs there still are high radiation zones.

Oh, I’m sure the real reason why cities are so small is due to technical limitations—I work as a backend developer myself so I can fully appreciate the computational complexities of this game.

But lore wise, it’s stated that most of the world lives in the island cities. If we assume that the devs tweeted the fan-made map because it’s a close enough approximation to the world of Shadows of Doubt, then the question remains why, in-game, most of the world population would live in such cities. What happened to all that land? The answer to that question would obviously be very relevant to the topic of this post, since there’s a strong correlation between habitable and arable land.

not sure about high ends stuff like lobster just being sold... unless we get new types of shops that can spawn up in the echelons (I think the devs did mention things like sky bridges at one point so could be a thing with high end shops in the upper levels)

But just generic types of fish being sold in some restaurants and street venders would be great. "Tired of synth meat? Eat our REAL fish! It only contains slightly above the recomended amount of heavy metals."

but is it clean unpoluted lobster~
