About Buoyancy
Buoyancy is a city-building strategy game set in an ocean world.
Build a floating city. Plan out your city's expansion by placing floating platforms that connect with each other. There are several types of buildings: Gatherers, Production, Hunters, Military, and Utility. Resources are delivered in real-time for constructing and production by your villagers.
Manage a growing population. Your city's population will be ever growing! Manage your villagers happiness and nourishment levels to keep them alive. Try to balance resource production with an increasing population that demands more and more. Combat sickness and fires that could cripple your city.
Explore with your mighty city. In this ocean world there are resources and floating junk to exploit but they’re not always going to drift your way. You can move your city around to exploit resources providing your buildings a production boost. Most of these resources are critical to develop larger cities, and some are necessary to keep surviving!
Find schools of fish, derelict ships, and take advantage of rebounded whale populations (or don’t).
Fight for your survival. Pirates will attack you if they spot your city. You can train Guards to defend your city from invaders. Place Junk Cannons to destroy a large amount of pirates in one blow, but be careful of friendly fire!

This is why I don't like paying for games

Just another abandoned EA title.
This game is dead. No update/devlog since the last 4 years. Don't buy this game.

Too brutally difficult. Driftwood is the most major resource that you need for everything, from building new buildings and also as an input resource for smelters etc. But it is so rare to find and takes a long time to gather. Then while you are taking so long to gather driftwood, you are not gathering food and your whole town starves to death. And even if you survive the starvation, so many people have died that when they start rowing they move at 0.01 miles per hour. Meaning you will long have starved to death before reaching the a food node. I like the idea of this game, I have spent a lot of time playing it. But every single playthrough feels like being set up for failure. The rarity of necessary resources takes up so much time that you don't have time to get food and just eventually starve to death. I even built bakeries and mills early and everyone STILL starved to death. Also one little mishap can instantly wipe out your city that you spent 9 hours building. Even with save scumming the game is just too brutally difficult. Unless you want to treat this like a roguelike where you don't mind rerolling cities constantly and praying that you get good node spawns, then th…
