I was just about to say the dev should consider making a sci-fi version.

Rimworld is just way more fun imo

I actually picked that up a while back but haven't really had time to play it. Same for Dwarf Fortress and Factorio...

I've heard they're all pretty great though.

It's okay, it's not like any of those games claim a lot of your time.

Oh good, as long as they aren't like Civ or Slay the Spire. Can't wait to try out these totally casual games that will only take up a little bit of my time!

DF has the deeper and more impressive simulation, but Rimworld is more fun to play imo.

I wouldn't put Factorio into the same category as it's "only" about building factories and making them more efficient.
