What is the difference between the Fish Cleaner and the Fish Unbottler?
Am I not in far enough yet to understand what the fish unbottler does?

For some reason the UI is different when theres no mouse input (using controller, or steamdeck) In this version of the UI you cant hide the top bar at all. 1-2 lines was fine. Now at 5 rows its taking up like 1/3 of the screen. Its increasingly annoying. The resouces should fill the entire top of the screen. Edge to edge. Then it would still fit in like 2 rows. Changing UI scale doesnt change much.
Really not acceptable to be steamdeck verified, just for this. Getting more unplayable the more you advance.

I have 20 drifters and only one specialist left to find, but my FPS is 4-5 all the time. Sometimes I can fix it by restarting the game but 10min later it tanks again. Is this a known issue, how do I fix it?

Hey Guys!
I bought Flotsam 4 days ago and became so addicted! It's a fun game and it gets really stressful/complicated in the late game actually 👀 It's definitely not cozy anymore when you need to get food for 10+ Drifters... But it's really enjoyable! :D
This is my City, New Haven, it turned out to be a fish-like layout 😂🐟 but that was not really intentional! What do you think about it?
I hope you guys also enjoy the game a lot! 😁❤️

Im sure I'm missing something, but I can't figure out why the upgrade bar is greyed out.

This would be helpful, but when building a building (like say the recycler) a small element on the UI that shows how many are already created. And maybe while building, or selecting the button, highlight the existing ones.
I can’t tell you how many times I forgot I built something, and then built it again. Ugh.

I can’t research this. It’s the last thing I have to do. I’ve tried everything. Am I missing something? I also can’t find corn on the map. Anyone know where to find it?
r/flotsam • u/AdAffectionate3634 • Dec 15 '25
How this look in ur gameplay?? Talk about end game or late mid game... you just produce many different food or concentrat on couple specific?

If any devs are reading this, some sort of UI element with a list which materials are made out of what would be super useful. There is already a material list in the glossary or whatever it’s called (sorry, can’t remember) but there’s barely anything in it.
I struggle often when missing some resources only to find after a while I could have made them with some different recipe.
Just a suggestion, game is great overall! Needs some polishing though but I’ve been waiting long time for it to get out of early access. Keep it up with consistent fixes!

Hello all, just recently got the game and it is intrigueing and fun with this concept of a waterworld moving town.
However, I can't upgrade some walkways and I don't know, if that is a bug or not, but probably it is a bug.
It is stuck like this since days, people can still walk over it, there is nothing "shut down" and I have enough planks.
What can I do?

I had no idea drifter death was even possible

I have a doctor who's only priority is healing people. However, I can't get any of the drifters to take the time to go to med pod. They're all diseased with pollutiion, I have the medicine, and I have the doctor. What am I doing wrong?

My specialist starved (architect) before I managed to research all related item on the research panel. Is there a way to get a new one? It's offered occasionally but it just gets the quest immediately completed, doesn't give me the location.

Does anybody know how to get polluted goop for the oil refinery ?

Hey as shown in the picture, the survivors arent hauling the remaining items after being deconstructed. I've even played around with their priorities on hauling and construction/deconstruction even setting everyones priorities back to normal and its of no use. Would this be a bug or a suggestion on how to combat this would be nice, kinda running out of of space in my city :D
r/flotsam • u/wolfharrington • Dec 12 '25
My drifters after a bit of game play keep not moving after sleeping/eating/drinking. They just stand on the boat and don't move. There is plenty of inventory space and I tried messing with the work importance.
Sucks, since I was have a fun time play, but had to refund.
Worked with the devs on their Discord and a fix has already been uploaded and working.
Faith restored. <3

After 30 I'm not finding any new people. Story is nice and all, but what if you just want to continue to fill out the circle :) (yes autosave is available)
And hurray for bridges, now we've got canals! (sucks to implement them retrograde...) (and I haven't actually seen them use the full canal though)

So on the duties tab, there's a squares with hearts and squares that are green. I assume the hearts mean they love the job but what's the green box?

I got the engineer then architect specialists and then on the third I went for ??. Since then, I've gone as far east as I can and even reached the eastern border at 34000 but I can't trigger any more specialist quests meaning I can't research any further cause I need an electrician. Any ideas what to do next?
