>Talks about dieselpunk.
>does not talk about Iron Harvest or Generation Zero.

“Atom Punk is just Fallout” yeah that’s probably the best way of explaining it.

the metro game series is a great example of almost pure diesel punk mixed with the aftermath of atomic punk

Didn't mention the actual most famous Dieselpunk, like literally the image of Dieselpunk is Iron Harvest

The Orks from Warhammer 40k definitely have a Mad Max inspired Dieselpunk aesthetic, especially their vehicles and walkers

I'm a fan of Stonepunk/Sandalpunk.
Stonepunk is essentially just Flintstones; everything powered by water, dinosaurs, wind, etc. A talking bird is your radio, a firebeetle is your lighter, torchbugs light the streets at night, which are traversed by mammoth "trucks", stedosaur schoolbuses, raptor taxis, etc.
It's a neat concept.

Atomic Punk is pretty cool too, even if Fallout is pretty much the only major example of that genre. I am kind of interested in how Diesel punk and Nazi sci fi stuff tends to intermingle. Even though they aren’t codependent. There's also Bio-punk and Nano-punk.....cause you know. My favorite things that are diesel punk though? The Bioshock 1 and 2, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, and Atlantis the Lost Empire.

The titans in Titanfall 1 show quite a lot of dieselpunk attributes. They have big exhaust pipes chugging out fumes and their structure is pretty bulky when comparing to Titanfall 2's titans which I'd argue, slot into the Nasapunk category

For anyone interested, I strongly recommend the artworks made by Keith Thompson for the diesel-punk and biopunk novel Leviathan.

biopunk is a creepy cousin that no one invites to the cookout

It was quite coincidental that this appeared in my recommendations right as I was drawing a dieselpunk dropship Zeppelin, lol.
EDIT: I posted the WIP under my post spotlight on Deviantart.

I remember making an dieselpunk worldbuiling project when i was young, main inspiration of it came from the early 20th century aesthetic, blending militarism and cultural identity as the main theme. Since then i've also created a sequel for it, imagining what happend in that world after 100 years, taking inspiration from cold-war and military fantasy of metal gear solid.

The battle block music Goes hard

Titles worth mentioning while at it:
Generation Zero: You're in Sweden and someone at Volvo misread the blueprints for 240 and started building death robots.
Iron Harvest: You're in central europe, it's 1920 and instead of tanks you have giant diesel-powered mechs.
High Fleet: Soviet-afghan war but every vechicle is just a pressurized methane tank with guns and rocket engines.

Heavily unerrated genre.

if you really want a decent example of diesel punk then you gotta try out HighFleet it is by far the best examples of diesel punk I've come to find

I really like dieselpunk, but i also really like the aesthetics of the Half-life combine

I stumbled upon Dieselpunk with the tabletop RPG system called Warbirds. VERY interesting type of game about being WWI/WWII style fighterpilots part of a guild set on another world where the carribean islands have been somehow transported into that world, floating high above a roiling depth made of combustable elements and even pressurized fuel in a gas form that can be harvested, etc.

Finally, something about dieselpunk in general.

"Captain America: The First Avenger" and "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow" are what got me into -punk stuff in the first place
