This one has been sitting on my wishlist for some time. Great art style and, unlike Rimworld, there’s gamepad support, so I could play this on my Steam Deck. What makes me hesitate each time is that games like this can be really hard to return to after a break. I get the same with city builders. You invest hours into slowly building up this complex ‘machine’, take a break, and upon returning realize you’ve forgotten what your priorities were and mess everything up.

I’ve been playing space haven. It’s Rimworld in space with some more story. The basics are a little more complex but at least on normal difficulty staying stable seems easier once you’re established, it doesn’t have quite as much depth I don’t think. I’m really enjoying it. Good cool music. Fun boarding mechanics. Great little game.

The automation in this one is pretty good. I think the pawns are maybe a bit smarter than Rimworld so you don’t need to manually direct them as often.
Having a bit of a story mode also helps as you’ve usually got a mission objective you can come back to.
I’m like 20 hours in now and still very much enjoying myself.

I played this for a bit a couple months ago and it’s definitely fun but I’m terrible at keeping my crew fed apparently. They’re constantly falling asleep from hunger but I have no one that can produce anything beyond the level 1 agriculture. I need to get back to it and either just start a new crew or see what happens when I let this crew starve out.

You need the algae food paste thing until you can pick up another crew member or train someone up on the learning station.
