I have been gaming on Linux more than usual lately; that's part due to my main gaming rig being out of reach and part me wanting to play more on this platform than Windoze. I played a few indie games to pass the time and eventually went looking for new games to check out during the Steam Summer Sale.

That is when I found Space Haven, a native Linux space-themed colony sim with base building, survival, and combat elements built into it.

So you’re telling me it’s like Masters of Orion? I’m in

Probably better just to run the original Masters Of Orion in dosbox, if that's what you're looking for. GOG will quite happily sell you both MoO 1 and 2 at a reasonable price.

No, it's more like Rimworld or Dwarf Fortress - it's basically a colony builder - but with RPG and story elements.

Yea not even remotely close. The correlation would be "it's in space", which is pretty good, but doesn't make it "like" it either.
