World Update OUT NOW!
Ahoy fellow sailors of the seas!
We have the pleasure of announcing the release of our newest big patch, the World Update!
The world update reworks the town-traveling in a major way to open up the game. Take to the seas with your new townheart, move to any location, grow your own seaweed and more! If you want to see what all is new, take a peek at the update overview below.
The full patch notes can be found below as well.

Thanks to everybody who tested this update on the experimental branch. You helped us shape and tweak the game to its current state, huzza!
We're still working on translating the new parts of the game so some elements might remain untranslated.
Old Savegames
We try to minimize disruptions to existing save-games. Unfortunately that's sometimes inevitable when actively developing the game. In an effort to reduce further disruptions we've reworked the save-system behind the scenes. This means that your old save-games won't work anymore. As an upside newer save-games will be less prone to breaking. To that end we've updated the warning when loading a save-game to more correctly indicate if the save will still work.
If you want to keep playing with your old save on the older version of the game, you can still do that on a Steam branch with the previous version.
This is how you can enable the previous version of Flotsam. This will only work when you're not in a game: 1. Open Steam Library 2. Right click Flotsam 3. Select Properties 4. Go to tab 'Betas' at the top. 5. Select 'early_access_0.2' in the drop-down.

World update now ready for testing!
Ahoy drifters!
We took our time to prototype different possibilities with the movement, and are happy to show you all the newest Flotsam patch: The World Update!
[previewyoutube="c74E6SCr3ow;full"] This update introduces a rework of the town traveling mechanic. Starting with this patch you'll be able to zoom out to a new "overworld view". Here you can move to any position in the world using your town as a boat. The map is now procedurally generated as well, giving different runs each time.
This patch is still in development, but can be tested on the experimental branch to give feedback. Pay attention: * Old save games won't be compatible with the new version. * We can't guarantee saves from this version will work with the released version.
This is how you can enable the experimental branch of Flotsam. This will only work when you're not in a game: 1. Open Steam Library 2. Right click Flotsam 3. Select Properties 4. Go to tab 'Betas' at the top. 5. Select 'Experimental' in the drop-down.
Roadmap Update
We're doing some changes to our workflow and roadmap as well. From now on, we're going to focus on more content in smaller updates rather than big ones. This allows us to respond to feedback and suggestions more quickly and build it up in smaller iterations.
After the map update the birdhouse patch will roll out, where the seagulls will see a make-over. After that, we'll take a jab with a construction update. Looking at building boundaries and improvements to the walkways.
Enjoy the new world update!

Patch 0.2.2 Released
Hi drifters!
We've uploaded a new patch that fixes bugs and performance issues. We've also tweaked the visuals in some areas.
General
Flotsam can no longer be selected.
Balancing
Agents now sleep faster in a house. They are fully rested in 20 seconds now. (Compared to 25 in an uncovered bed.)
Visuals
Plastic flotsam is now bundled to look more like big patches of plastic, instead of loose pieces. In older saves, you will find the new plastic after moving to a new tile.
Changed display of sleeping icon to show only when agents are sleeping and not before.
Updated sleeping animation.
UI
Updated house description.
Added icon and notification for drifters in life danger.
Removed mussels from storage filters. (Not available currently.)
Performance
Bundled plastic flotsam to increase performance. In older saves, you will find the new plastic after moving to a new tile.
Improved all-around performance for buoyant items. This should remove the lag when moving the camera in fast movements.
Fixes
Fixed issue where boats weren't assigned random names anymore.
Fixed pathfinding issues for some landmarks.
Fixed issue where constructions holding water sometimes couldn't be deconstructed.
Fixed issue where drifter would get stuck if their target wasn't valid anymore.
Fixed issue where save would become corrupted if there was an invalid target linked to a project.
Fixed drifters getting stuck on landmarks after trying to rescue drifter from landmark that was cancelled.
Fixed issue where a drifter would get stuck swimming when salvaging the same item another drifter just salvaged.
Fixed issue where landmark UI would have inconsistent visuals.
Fixed issue where an agent could sleep in a bed or house under deconstruction.
Fixed issue where scrollbar of save selection didn't scroll smoothly.
Fixed issue where tiny walkways could be created.
Fixed issue where panels could be hidden behind the build panel.
Patch 0.2.1 Released
Hi drifters!
Our best wishes for the coming year. We hope it's filled with joy and happiness! To kick off the new year we've released a small patch to fix pathfinding issues that resulted in lagspikes. Some UI corrections have been made as well. Enjoy!
General
Constructions now need to be attached to at least one finished construction before they can be build.
Fixes
Fixed issue where build resource UI wasn't correctly updated when building constructions.
Fixed issue where UI wouldn't correctly update after deleting a save game.
Fixed issue where constructions could be built without a pathfinding connection, resulting in errors and lagspikes.
Fixed issue where every agent portrait would be that of a seagull.
Fixed issue where autosaves would be made in limbo between 2 tiles.
Fixed issue where abandoned motorboat tile was noted as having fresh water, sadly it does not. Corrected.
Patch 0.2.0 Released
We've taken some time to strengthen the foundation of the game, which is the drifter AI. This allows us to build on a stronger base for the upcoming content patches. We've also implemented some small community requested features such as more saving functionality, improved camera zoom and a bigger map.
Unfortunately old saves won't work anymore. If you want to continue an old save, you can load up a branch with the previous version.
This is how you can enable the previous version of Flotsam. This will only work when you're not in a game: 1. Open Steam Library 2. Right click Flotsam 3. Select Properties 4. Go to tab 'Betas' at the top. 5. Select 'early_access_0.1' in the dropdown.
General
You can now name any construction or boat.
You can now zoom in more with the camera.
Projects can now have more than 1 assignment linked to them. This means not everyone requires the hauling assignment anymore to keep the town running:
Salvaging means the salvager can also empty their boat
Production projects can import, export and haul fuel to their relative producers.
Builders will now bring the required resources to the production site.
Items no longer need to go through a storage to be useable by other projects. This means agents will be able to haul items directly out of boats to construction sites, producers, etc. They will also be able to drink / eat directly out of their respective producers.
The game now autosaves when entering a new tile.
Set all items discovered as default, making them all visible in the filters at the start.
Added option to set a preferred boat type on mooring points. This means they will only moor there if there are no other mooring points available.
Drifter names are now a first and last name instead of a first, last and nickname. Players can now change the full name of the drifter, instead of just the nickname. Leaving the name prompt empty will revert the drifter back to their original name.
Increased map size.
Gameplay
Added church landmark.
Added metal wreckage landmark.
Added overgrown boat landmark.
Added fresh water oasis landmark.
Visuals
Improved the material and model of scrapsmith.
Added build states for scrapsmith.
Added animation for scrapsmith
UI
Improved readability for non-latin languages.
Added click/hover states to salvage marker overview button.
Added ability to rename constructions.
Replaced clicking on the name with a rename button on inhabitants/constructions you can rename, to make it more clear.
Moved inventory filter closer to the inventory part of the building panel.
Added malfunctions of producers in the construction panel.
Added missing localization for button tooltip in landmark panel.
Reworked save/load panel.
Added quick-save button Default at F5.
Added button to exit directly to desktop.
Resources that are already hauled to a boat/building under construction are now shown in the construction panel.
Added buttons in the main menu linking to our communication / social media channels. [No localization]
Added button in the pause menu to report a bug. [No localization]
Added warnings for incompatible saves.
Performance
Massively reduced memory use when the salvage marker panel was open.
Reduced memory use from swimming markers.
Fixes
Fixed selection colliders for the following landmarks:
Seaweed islands
Bridge island
Single shack
Fixed an issue where a boat would start a new project to clear it's inventory if it was moored after a load. It is unknown what bugs they may have been causing.
Fixed issue where background music in main menu didn't loop.
Fixed issue where health was misrepresented for agents near-death.
Fixed missing boat requirement in landmark panel.
Fixed issue where disabling an item on a salvage marker while an agent was on their way to an item of that type would cause the agent to get that item stuck in their inventory.
Fixed issue where cancelling a marker would not un-reserve the items that were marked, causing storages to have incoming items forever. This could have a number of effects, such as not being able to deconstruct it properly.
Edge scrolling no longer happens when the mouse is outside the game window.
Fixed issue where markers weren't properly cleaned up after finishing the project.
Fixed issue with irrelevant nutritional values appearing in item names.
Fixed issue where storage filters weren't correctly persisted.
Fixed incorrectly placed selection colliders for some landmarks.
Fixed issue where townheart wouldn't be properly registered as an obstacle.
Fixed issue where node description would overlap other elements in the map view.
Fixed issue where playtime on saves was displayed incorrectly.
Fixed issue where producer would no longer import resources after the producer got deconstructed and that deconstruction got cancelled.
Patch 0.1.13 Released
Fixes to AI and UI bugs. The deconstruction bugs should be solved in some cases. Please report any that you still do. We also reworked the graphic settings to be more stable (and prevent any crashes), this unfortunately means that the settings are more simplified for the time being.
UI
Updated non-Latin fonts to be improve readability.
Reworked video settings to be more future proof. Options such as V-Sync and AA are disabled for the moment since these are governed by Unity's quality settings already. We'll bring these back with a later update when they are more relevant.
Changed default full-screen mode to borderless window.
Fixes
Fixed issue where markers would be removed after loading a saved game.
Fixed issue where boats and mooring points could be blocked after loading a saved game.
Fixed issue where the video settings would re-apply themselves when changing menus.
Fixed not being able to make new save slots in certain time zones.
Fixed issue where a building could not detach the agents on it when deconstructed. This would cause it to stay there until the game was reloaded.
Visit us at EGX London!
Ahoy!
This is for you, UK drifters!
Starting Thursday we'll be attending EGX in London! If you want to try Flotsam or just want to chat with us, now's your chance.
You can visit us in the Rezzed area. More info about EGX can be found at the official site.
See you there!
Patch 0.1.12 Released
Focused this patch on optimizing performance. Mainly code was optimized to prevent too many memory allocations. We updated the full screen settings as well. Default it runs on exclusive full screen, if you prefer to change windows often, set this to borderless window.
UI
Added more choices for full screen and windowed mode. Options now are:
Exclusive full screen: Game takes full focus. Is the default and better for performance.
Borderless window: Better suited for multi-screen setups.
Windowed: Regular windowed game.
Performance
Optimized code for agent feedback.
Optimized code for searching mooring points.
Optimized code for selecting to prevent too many calls in one frame.
Optimized project code.
Optimized several physics calls.
Persistence
Changed part of the saving system to help us detect problems easier in the future. This still works with existing savegames.
Fixes
Fixed housing being double assigned when reloading a save.
Fixed issue where seagulls couldn't heal. (Apologies for all the early deaths.)
Fixed issue where drifter would be stuck in jumping pose (including splash).
