Hey does anyone have recommendations for hopeful games about building community post-apocalypse? Or like, setting up farm plots and clean water supplies and stuff?

:boost_ok:

Oh I should probably specify since I didn't in the post: looking for computer games. I already know of a handful of ttrpgs that do this :)

@starkatt I don't know of any but let us know if you get any good suggestions

...actually depending on how the world generates Dwarf Fortress might fit this?

@Felthry Dorfs is a super surprising suggestion and I'm into it :)

@Felthry the game is a bit too much for me personally (I've tried on a couple occasions) but I super appreciate what it is and have seen some quality lets plays.

@starkatt As for more accessible games, the backstory of Avernum feels a little like this (though the apocalypse in that case was an empire gaining control of the entire planet), with how Avernum is a system of caverns deep underground where the empire sends people to die--and yet instead the people came together and found a way to live down there

still, a bit distant from what you want

@starkatt oh! I have one! The minecraft mod pack Regrowth, which is focused on pretty much exactly this: restoring a dead world

@packbat @troodon @starkatt We have heard of some kind of updated version in the works but I don't think that's out yet.

@packbat @troodon @starkatt Also I just remembered another modpack that I don't remember the name of, built around thaumcraft and focused on rebuilding a world that had been fluxed to hell and back

@packbat @troodon @starkatt ah, that one is called Banished and it's also in the FTB launcher
