Will be interesting to see if The Fun Pimps actually come through this time. Historically they've been very lousy with their Linux/Mac support, uncommunicative when they break the various builds, and pretty shitty to people who ask them about what problems they're facing. It would be nice to see that they've grown as developers and actually test their builds before they release them, and are open and communicative when things go wrong. They might actually make it off my blacklist if they can demonstrate that.

Hope this makes it out to Linux. I'd quite like to build my own Unseen University!

Well that sucks. :(

Y'know, I thought I owned one or more Tropico games already, but never got around to playing them. Unfortunately a quick search of my steam library yielded no results, so I guess I just imagined buying them..

That's something I'm going to immediately rectify. This dev has supported Linux gaming for the past four years (bringing Tropico 5, Surviving Mars and Victor Vran to the platform) and I want to reward that.

Quoting: KimyrielleThey should have delayed the Windows version by half a year. I guess that would have doubled our market share right there. :D

I can't really see a card game being exclusive to Linux being a big driving factor in people abandoning Windows/OSX, even if said card game is made by Valve.

Personally, I have no interest in this.

Quoting: rustybroomhandle

Quoting: Doc AngeloRobots drink water, eat meat and build wooden houses? Hm. Isn't that a little bit odd?

They are preparing a settlement for humans.

Well, that's what they were designed to do, but they've gone rogue and now want to "be" human. In order to fulfil that desire it makes sense that they demand the same resources as humans. They probably have some way of converting this stuff to energy behind the scenes. :)

It does seem like the dev started out with a human colony game, but then wanted to make it more unique without completely changing the mechanics.

This looks awesome. Hopefully the developer fulfils that promise.

Quoting: FireBurnAny idea what they've changed? New packages? Updated packages?

I have to run this command so I use the native packages on my machine to prevent segfaults

find ~/.steam/root/ \( -name "libgcc_s.so*" -o -name "libstdc++.so*" -o -name "libxcb*.so*" -o -name "libvulkan.so*" \) -print -delete

You should probably use the native runtime. Not sure if Gentoo has such a thing, but Arch has a wrapper:

Quoting: /usr/bin/steam-native#!/bin/sh
export STEAM_RUNTIME=0
# Workaround for dbus fatal termination related coredumps (SIGABRT)
# https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/4464
export DBUS_FATAL_WARNINGS=0
# Override some libraries as these are what games linked against.
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib/steam:/usr/lib32/steam${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:}$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
exec /usr/lib/steam/steam "$@"

Adjust to your system.


It's good that they're finally moving away from the ancient Ubuntu 12.04 base, but I hope they don't just bump up to 14.04, which is EOL in five months..

Looks cool! I wonder how many input bugs it has on Linux though. :P
