I did not know until this very moment how deeply I wanted to build a beaver society ๐Ÿ˜‚

Ooh cool - it feels like subnautica but in the sky, which is certainly promising

Solarpunk Games (slrpnk.net)

It's the season for steam's summer sale, so here's some solarpunk-y games I've been eyeing, for anyone who's looking for something new to try this summer! (I haven't played most of these, they are just things that I've seen around that give me solarpunk vibes.)

  • Terra Nil : an intricate environmental strategy game about transforming a barren wasteland into a thriving, balanced ecosystem.
  • Pan'orama : a relaxing puzzle simulation game that allows you to create breathtaking landscapes using different types of tiles.
  • Summer in Mara : a summer adventure with farming, crafting, and exploring mechanics set in an alien tropical archipelago.
  • No Place Like Home : a cute and relaxing farm sim where you restore the environment around you.
  • Cloud Gardens : a chill game about using plants to overgrow abandoned wasteland dioramas.
  • Station to Station : a minimalist & relaxing game about building railway connections across a beautiful landscape.

Bonus, Games in Early Access:

  • The Wandering Village : a city-building simulation game on the back of a giant, wandering creature.
  • Coral Island : a vibrant and laid-back re-imagining of farm sim games, set on a beautiful island you must work to restore alongside the local community.
  • World Turtles : a wholesome colony builder with the primary goal of sustainability, all set on the backs of giant space turtles.
  • Diluvian Winds : a community management game set in a small hamlet at the foot of a lighthouse.

Got any other recommendations?

Love it, but it has pretty niche utility.

It's great for improving frest fruit/vegetable access in small urban communities, without massive transportation costs and preservative use.

Also very cool for small, isolated environments like ocean voyages and space, where production space is severely limited.

And extremely interesting from an ecological perspective when combined with a full circle microsystem, as in aquaculture.

But overall, it remains wildly inefficient for large scale agriculture needs.

Always nice to see Braiding Sweet grass referenced. And to see Anmism treated with respect. It pairs so beautifully with a solarpunk mentality - each enhances the other.

Tidalpunk is my new favorite solarpunk subgenre. That's a brilliant aquaculture setup
