Seasteader

Seasteader is a city-building and management strategy game set on the open ocean. You develop and rule a floating community, aiming to create a prosperous society by producing and manufacturing goods to sell on the global market. You can reinvest the profits in your seasteaders’ quality of life or expand your industrial capacity.

Manage your community

Your seasteaders are the community’s most important resource. You pay them wages and decide whether to charge them for rent and food. Their happiness is measured across eight separate metrics, and each person has individual skills that make them better suited to some jobs than others. You can micromanage the community or let it run more independently; the game does not prescribe one way to play.

Game modes

The campaign contains 15 missions of increasing difficulty. You can also create custom missions or play in Sandbox mode, where you can build freely.

Build your seastead

The economy includes 17 goods to produce, buy and sell. You can construct 30 buildings across five categories: production, manufacturing, housing, entertainment and infrastructure. The game also supports modding, with almost everything stored in editable text files.
