If you want a colony sim and you like space, play this one.
One of the best colony management sims that I enjoyed. It's got enough management "puzzles" to keep me drawn in, but at no point did I feel like this rushed me too much.
Somewhere halfway through the game, it's possible to make the colony self-sufficient. You don't have to, but you can - and this helped avoid the anxiety of needing to constanly expand, expand, expand and then win before you run out of resources, which I hate about colony sims (hello oxygen not included!)
I found this a lot more fun than Frostpunk, although I enjoyed both. The story isn't the main focus, but it's also nice. Obviously, the colony sim mechanics are also quite solid.
