In the wake of a catastrophic deluge caused by meteor showers, melting glaciers, and rising sea levels, the world as we know it has been submerged beneath the waves. In the game *Ocean New Era*, you find yourself as a castaway tasked with surviving and thriving in this new aquatic world. Your journey begins on a simple raft, which you must transform into a thriving haven amidst the ocean's new era of survival, development, and adventure.
Your primary goal is to build your new home from this abandoned raft. Start by upgrading essential systems like water purifiers, which are crucial for extracting freshwater from the surrounding seawater. As you gather resources and expand your raft, you'll connect with other drifting structures to establish efficient resource production lines. This process not only aids your survival but also allows you to embark on underwater adventures and discover remnants of the old world, turning your raft into a powerful and comfortable sanctuary.
Mysterious Crystals from Meteor Showers
The meteor showers that destroyed the civilization of the old era have introduced extraterrestrial crystals, which have become the cornerstone of the new era. These crystals have facilitated innovations in seawater purification, miniature energy technologies, and energy shield technology. Harnessing these crystals is key to not only surviving but thriving in a world where the vast majority of the Earth's surface is now submerged.
Freshwater, the Lifeline
In the vast ocean, freshwater is your lifeline. The seawater purifier at the heart of your home, powered by crystal technology, allows you to extract freshwater directly from the sea. However, managing freshwater is crucial as constructing and upgrading buildings, accommodating more people, and training soldiers all increase consumption. Moreover, unpredictable crises like heat waves can further strain your freshwater supply, making efficient management essential for survival.
Raft Expansion
Starting with a small raft, your journey involves gathering logs and crafting wooden planks to expand it. As you explore, you may encounter scattered rafts with various buildings that enhance your home's functionality. These can range from cabins with animals for logging and fishing, to processing factories for sawing planks and cooking fish, and even a bar to attract seafaring adventurers. Through expansion, you'll transform your raft into a well-equipped home.
Small Animals as Helpers
In this flooded world, not only humans but also small animals have been displaced. By sheltering these creatures, you gain valuable allies. Otters help with logging, pelicans with fishing, penguins with resource transportation, beavers with sawing planks, and cats with cooking fish. With their assistance, you'll establish an automated resource production line, freeing you to focus on home construction and ocean exploration.
Underwater Adventures
While crystal technology offers endless possibilities, remnants of the old era remain irreplaceable treasures. Upgrading your structures may require specific materials found only in the submerged waters. Although you cannot dive personally, you can recruit seafaring adventurers from the bar to explore the underwater world on your behalf. The ocean depths hold not only these valuable resources but also the marvels of lost cities and dangerous marine creatures, presenting a world brimming with unknowns and challenges.
