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.
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.

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.
