I Created a Sentient Colony of Lunatic Seagulls - Flotsam

Hi, I'm Josh, welcome back, let's play, check out the

flotsam

today, they recently came to early access developers, thanks for a key on

flotsam

, we reached open water and we can build a beautiful

colony

from garbage, so let's see if I can't turn that into something both devious and beautiful, my favorite part, what should we call our new city, USS? We're screwed, ok, so here we are at our humble beginnings, not bad at all, it seems like we started with three people, who are we? Sammy floods, wow, you were born for this specific situation, right? Hello, we also have this guy.

Raph snores a reef that's too long to say, so I'll change his name-snores McGee oh, that just changed his nickname. Can. Not legally changing his birth name, well, this actually made it more complicated, so like, we have Li Lu, the crab Lautenberg or, as I'll call her from now on, Leeloo Dallas, multi-step. As I understand it, to survive we have to do two things: make sure our people have enough food and drink or, apparently in this case, a healthy diet of sharks and delicious crunchy plastic bottles, and also gather resources to make things and buy resources.

I'm talking about wet wood, dry wood, brass knuckles, and tire irons. I think it's plastic and metal, but you get the idea, we also have a map here that you can see, we're the USA, we're screwed and we have this whole ocean to cross and create chaos and wonder, I don't know. What happens if we reach the end here? Presumably we fall out of the world. Flat earth. Confirmed. The first thing we're going to want to do is pick up a bunch of trash. We'll start by placing a buoy right here that will tell our boys to go swim there and get us all our sweet materials.

Yes, yes, you can make an offer while they are risking their lives to come down here and build and see what we have. Alright, there are multiple cool categories where we can do things like. build walkways and little storage things, other things we'll need like a clothesline and a woodworking shed, but you really know what we're interested in getting for sale because I want this thing to move and for that it looks like we'll need four hubcaps, four ropes on a sail, so to build the sail I need a sail, I guess we'll cross that bridge when we get to it, oh hello, I think we found our sail, well, this is our new destination, this ship yes.

There's a whole ship there, why don't we take it? What do you want? I can't get these items back because there's no storage available, nor my plastic, but let's get right to it, so first we'll build something that drives. It comes out like this kind of gross angle now I need you guys to stop Gruen and go build it now. I'll sit here and watch them do all the work and I'll have a little branch on both sides, you know? we're going to have another branch oh my god you guys like to sleep and build oh I get it you're getting really tired can you keep building I'm so glad the game lets me do this like I actually did it so I can do it.

Don't do anything with this, what the hell is this icon down here? There are not enough houses to accommodate all the Drifters. Oh, you fools, do you think I'm going to give you housing? They already made it clear that this also works well. I think you do too. You're crushing his lungs, maybe you want to give him a little more headroom than that, well man I got so caught up playing with the building that I forgot what I was supposed to do, oh yeah, storage thing, though no I think that's it. It's really already a concern, right?

Oh, our water reserves are low, so to get more water we need to build one of these stills, and while we have the plastic, we need the dry wood to build it. We get the dry wood we have to build one of these. Guys, the clothesline I'm going to try to push there we go and now you know all we have to do is build this before everyone dies of thirst. Is it just me or is Lee Lou here doing all the work thankfully? the clothesline is now drying up just like our water supply you know actually that's what I'll call it if they died from dehydration they dried to death okay just two more to hang guys I know you don't have any water and as we all know, you can't just drink the ocean water because it is very tasty.

I know that icon is because everyone needs water, but I like to think they're crying, which they probably would if they had water left in their bodies. for crying, okay, distiller time, let's go and push this thing like here, ah, there it is, go here and tell it if you want firewood. Okay, get firewood for this thing. We have to build the carpentry shed. I have started. I think I shouldn't. I've wasted all this time building this strange cacophony of boards, the old ones might be dehydrated, ok there it is, let's make some firewood, oh god it's always something, luckily these things are almost done.

Well, now Lee Lee was there playing the wood a song before taking the materials to our little storage container only to take them out again and then take them to this thing that is a firewood bob and then what-his-face will take that firewood, but again to the storage container and Lee Lou. I'm going to come here and take that firewood to the still that's finally producing water and then these two guys sneak the water away while she's working, go as a team, well I consider this a big success, we have extra water in that moment to concentrate.

On other concerns like food, I think we've got it right here. Hey, let's go ahead and just place a buoy so that it's out of range, which means it's too far away for our bums to swim. Yes, we have to build a boat. but to build a fishing boat we need all those supplies, including that pee thing, which is a mooring point, but to build this we need a rope to make a rope, we have to do it from the shed, holy, something, right Alright? A rope, please. so all my antics here have caused a bit of a problem.

I need to be able to build the docking point and also one of these boats and I'm going to need 16 plastics to do it. I don't have sixty plastics, so let's go. I'm going to deconstruct these hallways here which in theory will give us eight plastics each. Ah, much better. It's time to build the mooring point. The game reasonably won't let me put it somewhere strange, so I'll place it along the edge. I guess it always works. facing the extreme needs of the people here first they were thirsty now they are starving soon they will both be tada, so as much as we need this fishing boat, we actually need to go with a rescue boat so we can get more plastic. that we can make the fishing boat, it's like the tutorial level and yet it's the most heartbreaking thing I've had to do in a game in a long time, okay guys, see that beautiful plastic over there, bring it home, Lilu, bring it. at home so we can do something else to make something for that thing wow, that's much more efficient thanks for doing all the work again okay, now we have enough resources to build that oh no, I need another mooring point and for that I need another rope my production sucks well, all the supplies, put it in the thing, open the warehouse, make some wonderful things with your hands just like that, now we have rope, okay, mooring point number two, it's finally time for the ship of Fishing, listen, I don't want to make you rush or anything. but you have no food or water here we go and now that we have this fishing boat I think that means we can go all the way here to this strange giant ball of fish.

I mean, these guys just want to be trapped, come down here, select our fishy thing, put it here, harvest 25 whole fish, yeah, they'll never see it coming, OMG, it's Lilu again. No one else knows how to operate a boat well. I didn't notice you. I'd go out here and actually fishing sounds like a lot of work. Well, time to load this up with fish. I just noticed that Sammy isn't wearing pants. There is no shame, not even around that fire. Sammy may also have the honor of being the first to do so. he dies, wait, wait, now he has food, oh my god, Sammy was saved at the 0.02% Health Mart, so be it, Sammy, you live to fight another day.

Hi Leeloo Dallas, I'm pretty sure you'll die if you don't take some of that. fish, you know, the fish, that's right, they love you, go grab it, go grab the fish, oh, now you run to get the fish. I don't feel like this excursion is going to go very well, come on Lulu, time is of the essence. that fish over there eat the fish eat the fish eat the fish Lulu look it's there it's there it's in the warehouse grab the fish or you could just go to sleep that's great I'm sure you'll be fine when you wake up upstairs you lose health now it's at 0.0% but luckily for her apparently death can't beat you while you sleep Sammy, what are you doing man, that's the only fish he needs?

What are you doing now? You're only going to post ten. outside of her body, you just stood over her until Sammy died, did you see him look at us out of the corner of his eye, does he know what he's doing? Oh, and then our other guy just died on a bridge. Okay, Sammy, it's all up to you now. and we could lose the game, what the hell was that? Well that took a sudden turn, we won't be defeated, though the name of the town mmm, there are three lovable idiots, this time, great, we still have flawed Sammy destined to murder everyone else before dying himself.

We also have man-bun m'q garbage bag vest man bun muck garbage bag well, that's all that fits in Moby man-bun matrass Bo Magellan and our third faithful companion hair wine, let's get down to business this time, That sale won't steal itself, okay? by that we are in a much better place I mean everyone is alive and likes to do things here is the quick tour we have drying racks we have the workshop we have supplies we have a nice boat parking lot and we still have resources so now it's the time to take our boat here and go infiltrate the island wait i just hit the rescue button wow i didn't realize looting was so easy oh cool its sammy going hopefully everything will be okay ok , Sammy, find us the good things, well, don't waste your time.

He went straight to that candle, it seems like he's going to back away for a few seconds. Wow Wow, he managed to fit all that into his little colored Santa sack. He impressed me, oh boy, it's time. Oh, the sail just sits on the outside of my boat for some reason, I thought. It would be inside and I could also build it as much as I can, so I guess this is the construction line, so I can't build it beyond this, almost touristy. It will stick out the side, so it makes sense. for me, tada, I don't know why I was waiting and be higher, whatever it is, I'm happy to get out of here Matt, yo, okay, it's time for mm to head over to listen to the features of the lonely island, villagers hope to kill cities. to loot I like it looks like we have two objectives rescue these two idiots and loot this city and luckily I definitely set myself up for success with no food in little water so obviously the first order of business is to rescue these two by that I mean I just press the big button that says rescue because if there is one thing we need it is more mouths to feed.

I wish we could catch this guy, this would solve all our food problems forever. Well, that was quick. It seems that we rescue our people just by seeing them arrive. stuck in all the rubble, okay come on let's welcome Inky and sponge, welcome to the team, it's time to scavenge with the trash button, why do we always send this serial killer on missions and what are you doing in that house? I know, if I want to know what he did in that house, all we can say is that he came to help us and that's fine, here comes Sammy with his reward.

I'm pretty sure he came into the house and literally just mowed down the house. I'm glad we brought those people on board or in a perpetual state of hunger and thirst, but it seems like it's part of our rescue operation. We have six research points, hopefully that will save us. Is it okay, hell, is everything okay? It looks fun to have. things for more storage or new housing that my boys will never get me out of, as well as different workshops, but I think we should focus our efforts down here on food and water for those who like fish kebabs, let's do that good news that they can't afford. metal is necessary wait where is the metal?

I can do something? Where do I get metal? So I can not. I rescued it from these cars or pipes. There appears to be no metal on this map. Do you know what that means? Full sail ahead dripping water. The tower helps us has fresh water oil and an abandoned city to take things. I'm glad they can survive the trip without food or water. Well, here we are, everyone is still starving like wine for hair. Go ahead and break protocol. There's water right there. don't wait forsomeone pick it up, just go get it, okay, our resident serial killers collect the water, hopefully, he gives it to you and you don't keep it alone, oh thank goodness, another kind of close situation, okay, so we have a couple of things we can do: we can go to this water tower for water, we can go to this old factory for oil or we can search this for research points, I guess let's start with the water, Now the water looks better, let's look for this, hopefully, so be it. 13 metal for me is that if there's one thing I'm clamoring for right now it's fish skewers.

Hey, cool, looks like he found some supplies like canned food and dry wood, but no metal, that's a problem for me. Still, fortunately, this delicious canned food means we live. another day, it's not like those cans can be used for scrap metal or anything. I guess that just leaves one last task to do, go rescue a bunch of oil. It was easy. We got our gas and oil cans. I couldn't help but notice that everything was there. that junk we just take fish skewers, the fish skewers we want to be made while all that scavenging was going on, times have gotten better here, now we haveThere are double distilleries and we have a little bit of extra plastic.

Do you know what that means? We can build and just cut this ship. There's only one way to find out. Okay, yes, you can do it, but we'll have to wait until next time. map to see if the ships can handle it because we're running out of resources again, so let's go ahead and see what we want to do this time. We could get more people and die faster and clearly we will have to go where this. seagull is to do it so we're going to use one of our oils, how does that work anyway? or we like to put the oil in the candle, okay, we know the drill, what we have, we can go rescue a seagull and why we would do it well.

I mean, look at his profile, he wants to be rescued, who are we to deny that where can we approach this little seaweed bed get us some raw seaweed or can we 32 scraps of metal Carolingians derringer what did I tell you two islands ago the cars are where is it oh yeah, there's our guy bringing in a bunch of junk hey, can any of you idiots come unload this boat? They are actively starving and there are kebabs we could be making. Thanks, it's time for fish kebab. God. I can now try the kebabs. I'm not sure what happened, but when I click on my guys, now everyone's portrait is that bird, they really want me to pick up that bird, don't they?

For my part, I agree with this change and will make it, but we have two. Goals first are fish skewers and blocking all our boats forever oh yeah, here we go hmm yeah, the perfect steakhouse. Damn, we've exhausted all food sources again, so let's go find our bird friend and move on to the next place where I am. I'm also excited to see how my boys handle this since I got stuck in both of my lifeboats oh there it goes oh yeah it'll just go wherever it feels like you'll make a path Like it Hey little one how would you like it?

Come with me, how was that rescue? You can fly, it's fun, let's change your name here. Stefon Grace worm. What can this bird even do to carry weight? Are you actually just a tea member? Oh my gosh it really just flies and does the same job as everyone else just flies up here drops a call from the Damned and then comes back with a resource run are you okay? I feel like I'm playing a completely different game now I'm scared let's get out of here I should use one I'll go here to clean up a city where I should use equal amounts of oil to get here and get more oil and a city well the decision is clear okay , let's try this with the trapped ships, let's give it this nice little circle of influence right here, see what happens when they try it.

Oh no, oh God, you know it's even more fucked up, even though it eats up resources without you getting home. Look at this. I'll go highlight. this big pile here and everything absorbed forever well, that's the complete opposite of what I wanted. What happens if I send them? They have to get this oil. Will they go get the oil? They are going to see? Now they care. Yes, really get that. oil at least he's trying this time now let's see that he got free oh yeah, he hasn't given F now let's see what happens when he tries to come back here he's just going to surf for a while and he's going to say yeah, okay, bad. news I guess the whole sponge here is about to expire because I failed on the ships, no one's been getting wood, which means the stills weren't working, which means we're dying of thirst and there it goes, curled up underneath Sammy and dead, oh yeah, alone. drag it out, that's even better, okay, God, look guys, we need firewood so we can light the stills, you need your lazy butts to pick things up off the clothesline and start chopping.

I think you guys have a death wish, that's what I think I like. Your health may be at zero, but if in the middle of doing something you need to finish it and then die, hair wine, do you want to survive or not, which one of you is on fire to cut, someone go cut it, look, don't be? Like him, he came, this is your last chance to survive, go to the thing, just go to the thing, do the thing, do the thing, put the thing on the thing, oh well, Sammy's back and one of you , oh, okay, yeah, push them to the side. your final meal involves saying goodbye to Grace who is still alive, going to your final task of delivering some fish and moving on, the only one left alive now is Grace and I guess she rules everything now running from one place to another just doing the daily tasks wait if everyone is dead with the bird can I continue?

I mean, apparently Grace doesn't even water, so we're fine if I trade these things for dried fish and Grace handles this, yeah, Grace is just picking things up and throwing them away. towards the clothesline look how happy Grace is, so can I move on? I sure can't advance to the finish line, the final node, this is the end of the map, moving here will teleport you back to the beginning, wait, do we still have that left? all our stuff though we do oh my god we're basically time travelers look the candle is back okay I have an idea but we need to go back in time a little bit ironically from before we time traveled because all these people died.

Okay, here we are again, a couple of people are still alive quickly to the end, which brings us back to the beginning. Okay, here we are at the beginning. Now let's get a new villager quickly. Someone go there and rescue those people. Maybe not this guy with the stupid haircut. Although maybe maybe leave it behind, oh God, hurry up, there's not much time, you must succeed, Sammy, oh yeah, there he goes, he's got it, he's got it with his work done, he can finally do his final task to die, You two, the hare complains, it's time to call it quits.

See, luckily we have this guy, hey man, that other weirdo, that's all of us. We're going to need to do what you ask of us first. We will sail back to the seagull, where we will rescue another seagull friend. Hello Little Friend. okay come with us if we go back to the map and navigate until we go back in time again until you guessed it a mirror Stevie let's go home and rinse and repeat so I went ahead and did one of the rooms just to see if I could do something that is yes, in case you're wondering if you can build a room and the bird can accept it, so things look great, as you can see our bird overlords are everywhere and they have two humans that They wander around Owen as You may have noticed that the frame rate has gotten a little worse over time.

I'm not quite sure why these two guys essentially exist in the service of birds. Basically, they fish all day to get food for the birds. Oh, and also the game received a patch while I was playing it, which added a fun new button. It's our friend, the bird, placing a buoy for the

seagulls

. Look, even the developers know where it's going. This guy here is so petrified with fear that his limbs don't even function properly. He just slides out of here. I redesigned our city a little to make sure they understood that I understood. I drew a small town with a bird's beak.

Now it really belongs to the birds and I also don't know if it's because the frame rate is so low now, but the physics are going a little crazy, like why does it run like that or why does the boat bounce like that? Can you imagine waking up? Not only are there birds everywhere, but also with physics. Going crazy, this is what you see. I mean, this guy doesn't care. He just walks over. All these birds continue to sit here and they are so rare. Oh. Okay, I think that'll do it. I hope you had fun.

I didn't tell the birds that I'm just going to exist here in this hell of my own creation until the birds let me out to make another video, so until then I'll see you next time.
