🌊 Flotsam 1.0 launches with its biggest update ever!

Your floating town is ready for its biggest adventure yet!

After years in Early Access, Flotsam has officially reached Version 1.0, bringing a fully playable main story, new specialists, new regions, building upgrades, and a wide range of improvements across the entire game.

Here’s an in-depth look at what’s new:

Main Narrative Questline (Finish the Game!)

For the first time ever, you can play through Flotsam’s full story from start to finish.

What’s in:

• A complete main questline

• Story progression tied to exploration and old-world discoveries

• A proper ending to your drifters’ journey

Specialist Quests + 4 New Specialists

Every specialist now has their own questline, bringing new buildings, tasks, and small adventures to your floating community.

New specialists added in 1.0:

• Chemist

• Electrician

• Birdkeeper

• Aquaculturist

What’s new in this system:

• Specialist-specific quests

• New buildings tied to each role

• Progression choices through the new Radio Signals system (pick which specialist or quest you pursue)

Two New Regions to Explore

1.0 expands the world with two new biomes, each with its own look, dangers, and resources.

Industry Region

The most polluted area yet, filled with Polluted Goop, Electric Eels, and hazardous waters.

Polluted Woods

A new take on the Woods biome, now split into healthy and polluted sections.

Upgrade System + 10 New Advanced Buildings

Constructions can now be improved with installed upgrades that change how your town functions. (Example: adding an Air Filter to drifter homes to reduce pollution every sleep cycle.)

1.0 also adds 10 new advanced buildings, introducing new resource chains and new pipelines such as:

• Bio-energy pipelines (convert bio-waste into energy)

• Advanced production loops tied to the new regions and specialists

These additions expand mid- and late-game depth significantly.

Steam Achievements

A full set of Steam Achievements is now available for players who love completing every milestone.

Quality-of-Life Improvements

We’ve improved dozens of systems based on community feedback, including:

• A reworked School

• Smoother flow for early progression

• Clearer UI and visual feedback

• Performance and stability improvements

• Many small fixes across the entire game

💙 Thank You for Being Part of the Journey

Flotsam’s full release is a huge milestone, and it would not have been possible without everyone who sailed with us during Early Access.

From all of us at Pajama Llama and Stray Fawn Publishing: thank you for helping us bring Flotsam to 1.0.

If you enjoy the update, a Steam review helps the crew a lot.

Now set sail, rescue survivors, and keep your floating town thriving!
