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.
