Flotsam A town built from trash

You start with a boat and a lot of ocean garbage, and that garbage is your building supply. You scoop up floating plastic and driftwood, salvage scraps from ruins, and recycle it all into walkways, homes, workshops, and small colorful gardens.

Desalinators turn seawater drinkable, fishers gut the catch, and farms grow food to keep everyone fed. You connect production so wood dries, materials flow, and the town slowly runs itself. Later research moves you from burning firewood toward green eel-ectricity.

You drag another platform into place beside the boat, bolt on a shelter, stick a refurbished chair and a plant outside, and watch a drifter wander over to work. Survival stays forgiving, so the pleasure is in making the raft-town bigger, tidier, and stranger.

Your people are drifters, each with needs for food, water, shelter, and health, plus their own storylines. You rescue stranded survivors from the sea, take in friendly animals, and recruit specialists like the Birdkeeper, Chemist, and Electrician.

Those experts unlock new buildings, technologies, quests, and town mechanics when you follow their personal stories. One teaches cleaner production, another helps cure pollution-born sickness picked up in rusting factories and soaked ruins.

Decorating matters too: plants, refurbished furniture, and statues keep drifters happy. It is a feel-good apocalypse, where pollution and disease add pressure without turning cruel, and a finished town looks like a rambling, lived-in raft neighborhood.
