I'd recommend uplay+ for a month since it is only a dollar and has all the dlc but ever since the last patch I've been unable to play. The current theory is they screwed something up while setting up the free weekend so some people who should have access to the game don't.

As I play through the campaign how can I keep up a good income? I'm trying to build efficiently but usually the balance is negative and I have to keep exporting stuff. I can tell having a lot of non-working population is a drain. Is it a bad idea to make a quick buck by cutting off consumption of soap or other goods that sell for a lot of money?

Non working population isn't a drain, they still consume which is how you make money. Buildings that employ them drain money, you probably need less steel, bricks, and glass and more people enjoying life and being unproductive. Consumer goods all make a profit, construction goods don't.

Edit: Instead of cutting people's access to basic needs like soap and cracking down on the unemployed have you considered running a fashy police state and forcing people to overproduce goods that no one needs that you then sell to the nearby prison camp? Just build police stations and increase productivity to +50%.

I love that influence bonus and usually put up docks in a bunch of islands specifically get it. As long as you don't build houses no bad events can occur, letting you max productivity and avoid fire stations. Set up a few farms and a mine and have a schooner pick up goods every once in awhile.

Every game I start I say 'okay this is the one where I'm just gonna do everything in trelawney' and then 2 days later I've built 2 huge islands and the iron tower and worlds fair etc etc etc etc in the old world still haven't built a single house in crown falls. I think I need to force myself to never make a single engineer in the old world or something

Has anyone seen/built any cool crown falls cities? Whenever I do build there it always winds up being a huge boring grid.

What if you intentionally don't build with electricity in mind so it is easier to just start fresh on Crown Falls?

Do Ctrl Q and see where you aren't meeting demand. Fluctuations in the game are always due to that.

Also use this feature to see if you can reduce production anywhere to save upkeep costs.

Goods create more income than they cost, assuming they are being consumed. Your other potential issue is too much spent on construction materials.

Did you just blueprint the roads instead of actually build them?

Do I just have to have a clipper parked at the prison to snap up any good experts that are ther?

Yes, this is a thing you should do.

I also like to send soap to the prison in the early game to make money to emaciate experts

How do people generally use crownfalls? Is it mostly for investors and tourists?
