What's your favourite colony sim on PC? (self.games)

I'm looking for a new colony sim on PC. What I've played so far are:

  • Rimworld
  • Oxygen Not Included
  • Banished
  • Timberworld
  • Frostpunk
  • Anno 1800

I know some of these might not be strictly colony sims. What I'm really looking forward to is Manor Lords, but we don't have a definite release date on that.

What are your recommendations?

Planetbase and Dawn of Man weren't bad - get a bit frustrating though

Really wish we could get an updated Planetbase and some more maps. I love that game

I feel like it could use some good mods - rather than just different starting conditions, scenarios and gamepay settings.

Temperature management, new classes, different buildings and objects... like a fucking travelator.

Also wonder how well it would go if you could multistory buildings or go underground.

I didn't get into dawn of man all that much but planet base is an awesome game. It definitely has some quirks but once you figure out of some of those quirks work it's great. I would love for that developer to make a second one.
