Flotsam

A lot about this game is great, and for the most part I truly would recommend it. But it is just too buggy at times. When there is 36 water, and yet people start to die of thirst? When you have an empty bird house that was perfectly functional before, but after moving some things around, the birds now pretend that it doesn't exist, so they stubbornly tell me they don't have a home while the empty birdhouse just stands there. The birdhouse is not filled with food, even though there is birdfood in storage, and all my drifters are capable of bringing food to the birdhouse.. And as said before, the birdhouse functioned before I moved it, so what on earth? I worked really hard on making a beautiful floating island basically, completely powered by solar pannels, giving all the drifters an outstanding home. Leveled them up and asigned them good jobs. Grew a rediculous amount of crops, fish and seaweed. And for a long time had an abbundance of food. But as stated before, when I moved some things around, all of a sudden no matter what I did, it was constantly low on food.. The game also started freezing a lot. My computer was doing fine, and the map cuts off when you go too far back (I'm assuming so the game doesn't go crazy when you travel a long way) And yet the game kept freezing, forcing me to restart it over and over. Basically: I had a lot of fun with this game, until I didn't.

Game is several years in development and I can find tons of bugs in first 30mins of playthrough, how is that possible... For example, if you use map and use mouse to navigate instead of keyboard, when you exit map boat is no longer on your screen position so you have to find it; You can build scavenge boat, when you click it it says the boat is ready to use, but from that point onward you lose ability to scavenge islands because boat refuses to be used, and people do not swim directly to islands either... Like come on, if I can find these issues in initial hours with game, what were devs doing for all these years?

This game is just ok... The early game is fun learning all the new stuff and how it works together. The controls on KBM are polished and well thought out. The Controller ones are a little jank at times and have hard to find options. The start of the game tutorial fails to show you much of anything. I learned everything from reading the slides. I don't know if this is a bug or a feature. The start was fun as I said. It was when I had 4-6 people on board and starting the electric potion of the game where the snags began. "Oh you want this water to be electric powered? Well you missed 4 other things and haven't even found any electronics in 2 hours. Also to salvage them you need specific tools. Must be crafted at nauseum...." One gate/hoop after another. I played other games similar like Planet base, IXION, and Frost Punk. Those were less tedious. I was disappointed in this supposedly chill game. mid game stuff is way too resource heavy. Or hard to get. Also, I got inventory locked way to many times and it is not simple sometimes when you are just trying to upgrade the storage. The game is not too difficult. It can be done. Just feels unbalanced in the mid game.

I'm giving this a thumbs up because at it's core, it's a pretty neat game. The art style is enjoyable, too. Where I run into an issue is that as your boat town grows bigger, the amount of micromanaging you have to do while balancing all the different buildings gets to be fairly tedious, all while chasing a finite amount of resources. That tends to pull you out of the enjoyment of just running around and seeing what's out there. So, recommend, but with that caveat.

这游戏比空中王国好的一点是不需要考虑平衡问题，之前玩空中王国的时候快疯掉了 但是相比之下这游戏的重复劳动确实有点多，尤其是做饭，配方不少，低级的掉心情，高级的又耗材多，最小的鱼既能直接烤又能炸还能做饲料最后还是海鲜汤的素材，根本不可能开自动做 养鱼也有点累，不停的手搓饲料，如果我专门搞三台饲料机做，那我的海藻玉米和小鱼是不可能够用的，但是不搞就只能每次盯着UI看饲料剩多少，如果想纯靠地图上的鱼群那就是到处跑累死自己，而且最大的问题是我不管怎么读档加载我的渔船都没人用，只有钓鱼椅有人用，反正我不知道怎么用渔船，教程也没教，百科也没写，这就是个黑洞，离鱼群近了也没有人自动上渔船去捕鱼，我不知道这是BUG还是渔船忘了删掉，总之根本不能用 到了后期最开始的材料比如什么塑料木头基本上不可能用得完，但是升级和做主线用的比如铝材又基本不够用，多去几次工业区又容易污染爆了，想降低污染只能去药店，药店在大城市不刷新真的很诡异，我只见过小镇刷药店，每次又不多，10瓶药只够做两个呼吸器，也就是只能给一个房子升级，说实话还不如污染爆了然后吃药 然后很多升级基本上又看不出来有什么用，负重基本上整艘船的都升级了一遍，一半左右还升级了第二次，每次减少25%，但是整艘船还是只能靠堆拖船才能勉强动起来，负重等级不可能降得下去 生产建筑的升级又只有火改电，你说有用吧那确实不用天天劈二三十个柴火了，但是你说没用吧那确实也不能加速，该做多慢还是多慢，前中期发电不多电池不大的时候还容易和引擎抢电，关键做饭没有不耗电的，不是电烧烤就是电炸锅 但是你论风格论未来可期那其实在一众带着房子走的游戏里这款还真算可以的，画风确实非常舒服，游戏性上如果愿意改一改减少玩家的重复劳动，把科技树设计长一点其实很有机会，你多搞几个升级让生产建筑可以在原材料低于多少的时候不生产，生产速度可以加快，既解决了后期科技点几百几百没地方用，又不至于让大多数人十小时左右就顶不住不玩了

Relaxing, but survival themed. Mechanics that are simple enough to not demand too much of my tired brain after a day of work, but still engaging enough to keep me entertained. Just the kind of escapism I've been craving.

весьма интересная и залипательная игра, прошел на одном дыхании, если вам нравится задумка Raft и изометрия, то вам должно зайти, игра стоит своих денег, отдельный лайк за музыку

Fun. I looked at this game a long time ago but read about some issues. Decided to check it out after it's release and haven't had any bugs that I know of.

Nice little 20 hour game. Fun main gameplay loop, nice art style, decent balance of challenge and chill. It doesn't have the best tutorial out there, so be ready to play one game and screw it up bad. I beat it on the second play through after I understood the mechanics. Very cool game.

A really lovely base building game with the addition of exploration and salvaging. It's got a great artstyle, chill music and bags of character. Took me about 20hrs to complete the storyline and explore all of the mechanics of the game. Well worth it <3
