There's a game I like to play called Eco. It is basically a multiplayer economy sim with Minecraft building. One server I played the gimmick was every few days they'd raise the sea level by a block. It was an absolute disaster. The entire world economy turned into making sea walls. If you weren't making the construction materials or placing the walls you were useless, nobody would buy your stuff, the wall building was just too critical to put money anywhere else. We started having to cut our losses and let entire towns get swallowed so we could consolidate population and better focus on fewer walls to upkeep. At some point we abandoned the economy entirely it was all hands on deck to the wall the people who were left knew their roles and did it. Eventually we lost too much farmland and couldn't keep up with the calorie demand, we didn't have enough people, a hole in the wall caused our capitol, primary mine, and underground Intercity transit to all flood. We were cooked
