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.
Pffft! Look at this dude who assigned a tavern keeper to the inn while still allowing non dwarves entrance to it. Everybody knows that those knife-ears and humies can’t handle nutritious dwarven wine. They get drunk and break shit. Best just to not have them in the fortress at all.

I feel like I should recommend Dwarf Fortress but I also feel like I should NOT recommend Dwarf Fortress.
Look, I’ll just leave Dwarf Fortress here in the corner, peering into the room and the rest of us can try to ignore it. But it’s there.
Dwarf Fortress isn’t a colony sim game, though
It’s a tavern corpse clean up sim.

I like the idea of DF, but I’m leaning more towards Songs of Syx instead. It’s not on sale so I’m in no hurry but it’s on my shortlist
The Steam edition feels a lot more recommendable, though.
I second the recommendation of the steam/itch release of dwarf fortress. Definitely more accessible
