>>41122813There have been a lot of talks about chuubanite mutations in the past but drastic morphological mutations are also very rare creatures like brahmins from Fallout would die before existing infancy. If anything a hypothetical mutation probably is the thing that makes wendigos more aggressive or territorial, what makes the myth of it rather than the mythical creature itself.
>>41134608Unlike the thread I think /uuu/ has made some edits and jokes regarding Fauna as a wendigo before. Depending on how rare sightings were historically might also make sense that its original range is in the /uuu/ Forest and it only extended out relatively recently, probably due to human activity. Fully grown adult individuals probably require a lot of energy so they would have to be on the move constantly and search for carcasses so I think that works.
>>41134724For neighbors, Hoshiyomia probably has some good quality glass for their nobility. And if it's just for a display I don't think it needs to be super clear, just enough to see the product should be fine. And uh I'm not feeling reading a whole bunch on glass production rn.
>>41137926Aside from that bricks should be very common.
>>41138071Stone buildings are still being built well into the 19th century, even now you see plenty of new buildings using stones like granite. Shale is still used as roofing or decorative flooring in outdoor areas. It should also depend on architectural trends in the country and region. I'm not that well-read on architectural history but I think most of /who/'s buildings should be between Baroque and early art deco. The country's pretty secular but religious influence should still be deep in culture and ideology. Overall practicality and cost should be main driving force behind architectural design in the Republic but some aesthetic choices should also influence how designs are approached.
>>41132347https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koch_(boat)Ideally you would want its bottom to be rounded, so when it gets stranded between ice it doesn't get crushed but gets lifted up. But like
>>41133937 said you wound want actual, independent propulsion if it's an ice breaker you are building. I also doubt that wooden icebreakers really have the mass to break ice. Even if they have some ice breaking capability, and not just ice protection, rather than literally sailing through them polar ships most likely would avoid large ice chunks and areas that are almost completely frozen over. It's not like you have GPS and satellite communication in universe, so if you get stranded there's a real chance you will run out of food and die before summer comes.
Also note that for the franklin expeditions
