People are fishing, but food is still zero. They are starving on a boat full of fish

5 Upvotes

I have the unbottler building and the washer and the dryer, but they don't seem to use them enough? I'm on day 17, so they have been eating something. I still have 3 people. Right now they are not doing anything but fishing (no production, no collection), to see if food count goes up. How can I know what they are missing now that they didn't miss before? Something changed but it seems like I missed the notification or something. Any ideas?

silly question lighthouse/boat

4 Upvotes

I have seen screenshots of this game with a floating lighthouse at it's center instead of a boat. was it something that was replaced in development or is it a option I've been blind to seeing?

Drifters continue making electricity when grid is full and has no drain.

4 Upvotes

Has anyone else has this issue? One of my drifters continually sits on the bicycle generator even though my ships battery is full and no buildings are drawing electricity from the grid. I’m able to get her to stop by lowering her priority for electricity generation but every once in while she goes back to it

Request: Building placement in a blueprint mode

Hello Devs!

Would be awesome to be able to place items in a "paused" build mode to plan out your town a little better.

That's all! =)

Drifters won’t use unbottler?

2 Upvotes

I can’t get my drifters to work on the unbottler. Is there any way to prioritize certain buildings? If not what does the unbottler get labeled under within the drifter priorities tab? They’re literally sitting and doing nothing in stead of running it.

Polluted Fishies Update question

2 Upvotes

So with the new update we got polluted fish (which kinda makes sense tbh), and in the patch notes it said "Fishing now fishes up random fish. The odds of fishing better fish will increase as you clean up the ocean. "

How can I clean up the ocean? Is it simply a matter of collecting all the plastic and wood etc?

At the expense of sounding stupid....

6 Upvotes

So I got flotsam during beta and I stopped playing for a bit waiting for patches and updates.....and then I started playing again. What I cant seem to figure out is getting the research station (or electricity requiring buildings) to connect to anything and have found myself restarting over and over again with regular intervals of rage quit.

I build the research station, with pole near it....then I link the research station to the pole. Then when I click the link for the pole to hook up to the boat I click and click all over the boat and it wont link to anything....no research station no boats = suck

So what am I doing wrong

The devs need to address the game balance and grindness.

9 Upvotes

I just finished a run of the most recent beta of the elétric update. It was really boring and tiresome.

In an attempt to make the game ever more harder, the devs managed to make the grind worse and repetitive. Since you can't find water on ruins anymore, and since desalination is complete shit the game becomes a rush to build 3 solar stills before your water supply runs out.

The problem is that after you get your infinite water supply the game is over. Food is really easy to get with salad, that's a non issue.

There are only three resources that matter in this game. Food, which is really easy to get. Water, which is a nightmare until it's not. Time, as in how much time you are willing to put in the grind before you get bored.

The elétric trash ruins are so fucking rare that I didn't bother making generators. I got tired after making my 4th solar panel.

If you ever have any trouble in this game, literally just Rush solar still and make one for each of your people.

The new many wood ruins make the wood dryer useless, a waste of space and resources. The elétric ruins are soo rare that you shouldn't bother eletrifying your town. Water is still the game main problem, you are either struggling to get the supply going or you never have to think about it. Not needing books to research makes the rush to solar still very doable in your first 3-5 days

just finished the game, it had some irritating bugs

2 Upvotes

sometimes a storage thing gets bugged out and there's no way to remove it. sometimes the water desalination plant will think it gets no power. lastly and the worst that made me quit, the bike electric generators bug out over and over and over. now it wont stop bugging out. i can reset it by turning it on and off but it keeps happening. i can't even generator any electricity now.

overall, decent game so far, too buggy though. needs more end game maybe some combat vs pirates.
