Not all of the city types float; the floating city is primarily intended
for planets that are over 90% water (which I do have a variant for). 
The same settlers can build typical cities or arcologies (huge cities
stacked into very tall buildings).  The standard city has a reach of 2,
the arcology has a reach of 3, and the floating city has a reach of 0.

Anyway, I tried changing the minimal-size-goal for each city type
(city=4, arcology=6, floating-city=2), and now the AI will build
anything, including floating cities.  It'll still give up at Turn 10 if
I let it, though.


As far as the floating cities are concerned, there are some additional
logistics that I need to figure out (let alone that bug that affects
mobile advanced units), but I don't think that they'll be too difficult.
