In the wake of devastating meteor showers, melting glaciers, and soaring sea levels, the world as we knew it has vanished beneath a watery expanse. In *Ocean New Era*, you step into the shoes of a castaway tasked with surviving and thriving in this new aquatic realm. Your journey begins on a dilapidated raft, which you must transform into a thriving haven amidst the endless sea.

Your first priority is to upgrade your water purifiers, crucial for extracting the vital freshwater needed for survival. As you expand your raft, you'll connect with other drifting structures, enhancing your base and establishing efficient resource production lines. This new era presents unique challenges and opportunities, as you embark on underwater adventures to discover the remnants of the old world, furthering your quest to build a powerful and comfortable home on the water.

Mysterious Crystals from Meteor Showers

The meteor showers that marked the end of the old civilization brought with them extraterrestrial crystals—key to the new era's advancements. These crystals have revolutionized seawater purification, miniature energy technologies, and energy shield innovations. They are the bedrock upon which you'll build your new life, allowing not just survival but prosperity in this submerged world.

Freshwater, the Lifeline

Freshwater is the lifeblood of your oceanic existence, extracted through advanced purifiers powered by the mysterious crystals. As you expand and enhance your home, the demand for freshwater increases. Building upgrades, accommodating more people, training soldiers, and dealing with unpredictable heat waves all strain this precious resource. Efficient management and upgrades are essential to keep your community hydrated and thriving.

Raft Expansion

Starting with a modest raft, your journey to expansion involves gathering logs and crafting wooden planks. As you grow, you'll discover and integrate scattered rafts, each adding unique buildings and functionalities. From cabins housing helpful animals to processing factories and a lively bar for seafaring adventurers, your raft evolves into a well-equipped home capable of supporting a flourishing community.

Small Animals as Helpers

In this post-flood world, you're not alone; small animals displaced by the rising waters can become invaluable allies. By sheltering them, you gain their assistance: otters for logging, pelicans for fishing, penguins for resource transportation, beavers for sawing planks, and cats for cooking fish. Their help automates your resource gathering, freeing you to focus on home construction and ocean exploration.

Underwater Adventures

The ocean depths hold relics of the old era, vital for upgrading your structures. While diving is beyond your reach, you can recruit adventurers from your bar to explore the submerged world on your behalf. Beneath the waves, you'll uncover lost cities, encounter dangerous marine life, and face the unknown, all while gathering the materials necessary to fortify your aquatic haven.
