About This Game Set on the wide open ocean, Seasteader is a city building and management strategy game that allows you to develop and rule over your own seastead, a floating community.Your aim is to create a prosperous and thriving society, using your production and manufacturing capabilities to create goods and sell them on the global market. The profits can then be invested back into improving the lives of your seasteaders or increasing your industrial capacity.The most important resource, however, is not a product, but your seasteaders themselves. As well as paying them wages and taking (or not taking) money from them for rent and food, you also need to ensure their happiness, as measured by 8 separate metrics. Each individual also has unique skills that make them better suited to some jobs over others.In the end, the degree to which you wish to micromanage the game or let it run its own course is entirely up to you. There are no right or wrong ways of playing.FeaturesCampaign featuring 15 missions of increasing difficultySystem for crafting your own unique custom missionsSandbox mode where you can build to your heart's contentAn economic system with 17 goods to produce, buy and sell30 buildings in five different categories - production, manufacturing, housing, entertainment and infrastructure8 different happiness metrics for your seasteadersExtensive modding support - almost everything is stored in easily editable txt files 1075eedd30 Title: SeasteaderGenre: Indie, Simulation, StrategyDeveloper:Cosy GoatPublisher:Cosy GoatRelease Date: 24 Feb, 2017 Seasteader Download For Pc [key] Bought it at a discount - recommend Tropico instead.Why? Seasteader seems unfinished. No easy overview, overlays or layouts. Gameplay is very slow and there is nothing to do while waiting. And you wait a lot.Annoying example: You can set rent for a house and set the same for all other buildings of the same type already built. New building of that type? Remember to check the pricing on that, as the pricing is set to the norm and not your own.Excuse me as I go play Tropico... Ok, cancel what I wrote 6 months ago...At February 2018, the devs have failed to update the game or EVEN ANSWER TO THE USERS ON THE FORUM from the last November...The game seems 'dead'.Peace: I'm trying to get a refund.<--->I've purchased a number of Early Access games in the past and... I'm pretty confident that this could become something funny to play.Ok, I admit it's still pretty "raw" and the price is, I think, to high for a product that still need much work.But the global experience is quite good and I see developers actively working on it.For now, maybe try it discounted, and see if you want to support the development and have some hours of fun with some (minor, for what I experienced) bugs..

It took me a while to start liking this game, I'll admit. The graphics can be very off-putting. This game needs a visual rework. But eventually the gameplay itself grew on me, and I like that it has a decent campaign with many scenarios (although many of them start off similarly. Once you get a hang of how to start off a level with a stable economy you usually just do the same thing for every level. Some vary though)Basically, if you like Tropico, but finished it, and this game is on sale, get it. I'm not sure I can recommend paying full price for it.Also, if you havent' played Tropico 3-5, save your cash and get those instead. Come back to this one when you're all done with them and want more.This game's best and worst features are the same: It's diet Tropico.Less graphics, less depth, and no humor - But... The core Gameplay is still there. And it's enjoyable.I'm not gonna flip out over this game or anything but at the end of the day I've played it for 25 hours so far and I'm probably going to be coming back to it for more, so it's gotta be doing SOMETHING right.. I think I've really tried to like this game, and it really does have a lot of good things going for it. I enjoy the systems the players can attempt in designing their seastead, and it doesn't take much imagination to immerse yourself in the world you're creating.This is where the problem comes into play. You get immersed in designing your seastead. You lay it out and you start planning, carefully managing your treasury for future expansions, maybe keep the residential and industrial separate...the usual sort of city-builder sort of thing. Then the game's AI announces an investor is contributing randomly to your design, usually ramming some flophouse into whatever available space happens to be directly adjacent one of your carefully laid buildings. In my last game, my food production area was attacked by these "investors" -- two of their flophouses were buttressed right up against my fishery, side by side. Just like that, my wide open design became another \u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665 sea-shantytown.It can be resolved. It has been complained about. I don't honestly know why the developers are apathetic about this.This is the third consecutive playing session where I've regretted my time, and all because of this disastrous AI. I would 100% keel-haul these investors, so it breaks immersion that they get to turn my seastead into a shantytown, instead.I may play this again after a future update, in hopes this is fixed. I'm happy to see the devs diversifying the trade goods and thus expanding the available strategies (beyond being a game about building villages around oil-rigs) but this AI needs to be fixed. I'd be happy to just have the option of turning the investors off, presumably because my Seastead Mayor would have them shot on sight.
