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

 

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?

Ooh, beergarden is very specific - perfect search term! Is "Wikiblock" the one?

Do you remember how long ago you saw it? Everything I'm aware of for furniture disappeared or went for-profit years ago.

Someone's already mentioned Opendesk, which mysteriously cut off access to files with a "we'll email everyone when they come back!". Spoilers, they did not come back, its been nearly 5 years. Instead they started selling furniture by request and partnering with fabrication services. There are some others that were similar, AtFab, fabsie, opendesign (which I think was a wiki, so maybe that was the one posted?)... but none are still active and the websites/links are dead or replaced by something different using the name. You can still find designs on github though, and some on Pintrest, of all places.

Here is one such repository of Opendesk's designs: https://github.com/timrolls/Opendesk . Go forth and fab freely.

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.
