New Wonder: The Thermal Tower Once Human
Explore the new Thermal Tower, dynamic weather, and Chaosweaver events in Once Human's 'The Way of Winter' update. Learn how to survive and master these unique mechanics for a deeper gameplay experience.
The Thermal Tower is an extraordinary structure capable of altering temperature and environmental conditions over a wide range, impacting the world in significant ways. This new type of Wonder becomes available under Memetics once “The Way of Winter” enters its second seasonal phase.
Blogs Key Features of the Thermal Tower
Construction Restrictions: Unlike typical buildings, the Thermal Tower must be placed outside of your territory and cannot be relocated once built. These structures must be spaced apart, as their effective ranges cannot overlap. Each player is limited to building only one Thermal Tower.
Technology Upgrades: After placing the Thermal Tower, players can enhance it by upgrading its four key modules: the Reactor, Thermostatic Cover, Defense Structures, and Radiator. Each module offers eight levels of technological upgrades, which boost the tower’s temperature control and provide various strategic bonuses.
Depot Functionality: The Thermal Tower includes a Depot where essential resources can be stored. Costs for tech upgrades and operational needs are drawn from this Depot.
Power Source: The Thermal Tower operates using Chaosium, with consumption rates increasing based on the tower’s temperature effects and radiation range. If the Depot runs out of Chaosium, the tower will cease to function.
Blogs Thermal Tower Defense Mechanism
Operating a Thermal Tower results in the production of Chaosium Waste. When waste levels reach 80%, it can be purified into usable Chaosium and additional resources through the management screen. During the purification process, players must defend the tower from potential enemy attacks. Upon successful purification, rewards are automatically distributed to all players within the tower’s range.
Blogs Control and Permissions
Ownership: The player who constructs the Thermal Tower retains ownership.
Joining and Permissions: Other players can apply to join the tower’s efforts. The owner has the authority to manage and approve applications via the Permissions screen.
Recruitment: Players with control permissions can click the Recruit button to enlist nearby players to assist in building the tower. Squads in “The Way of Winter” can have up to 16 members.
Blogs New Dynamic Weather System
The game now features a dynamic weather system, introducing more diverse and impactful weather conditions. These extreme environmental changes create a more challenging survival experience, with significant effects on Metas, enemy units, and various structures.
Blogs Chaosweaver Events
Chaosweavers are colossal, enigmatic living machines that bring severe weather conditions, such as blizzards or volcanic storms, wherever they appear. These events dramatically worsen survival conditions and become increasingly frequent and powerful as the seasonal phases progress. Players must locate and defeat Chaosweavers to end their destructive influence and claim valuable rewards.
Blogs Chaosweaver Combat Mechanics
Chaosweavers embody entropy, a principle of chaos that cannot be fully contained. From the moment they awaken, these mechanical titans begin to disintegrate. Their formidable armor conceals critical vulnerabilities, which become exposed as they decay. Each damaged section reveals deeper weaknesses until the artificial sun at the core is exposed. With patience, precision, and bravery, players can dismantle these seemingly invincible foes step by step.
Blogs Conclusion
The introduction of the Thermal Tower, dynamic weather, and the formidable Chaosweaver events brings a new level of depth and strategy to “The Way of Winter.” Mastering these mechanics is essential for players seeking to thrive and overcome the harsh conditions. Equip yourself with knowledge, build strategically, and work with allies to face the challenges that lie ahead.
