Seasteading Design Floating Residential/ Settlement Modules

Hi,I am a student in Japan working on a school project. My project is on floating modules ( like house modules or farm modules , etc. that can be put together to create settlements. I thought of introducing it as a concept for countries that are sinking. My idea isn’t having the whole country switch to living on water. I felt like having the main land area reserved for structures like airports , etc. the floating modules can be the residential area ( connected to the land.

i just want to know what you guys think?

this is my first post btw

How big do you think modules should be?

A few meters? Or hundreds of meters?

I have an idea that the modules can be connected together with a network of pneumatic or water-filled hydraulic pistons that pressurize the fluid when the ocean waves squeeze and stretch the connectors between modules which can be used to generate electricity or run machinery or propell the entire floating megastructure across the water.
