What's your favourite colony sim on PC?
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?
You're viewing a single thread.
I’ll second Timberborn, it seems like a simple game but it gets complicated towards the end.
If factory games are your jam then I can’t recommend Captian Of Industry and Dyson Sphere Program enough, both are S tier factory games for me. The Riftbreaker is another interesting combo of colony building and tower defense as well.
Satisfactory is another worth including in the factory games list.
Oh absolutely, I’m ashamed I didn’t mention it, I guess my brain was stuck on top down style hah. Satisfactory is incredible, they keep adding awesome stuff to it.
Captain Of Industry is a little daunting because it uses as close to real world processes as possible but Nilaus on YT has excellent videos on it (and many of the others mentioned). This is his playlist for the recent huge Update 1 for the game.
I also forgot to mention how good Cities: Skylines has become and how incredible Cities: Skylines 2 looks. I have learned so much about real cities from playing that and watching City Planner Plays play it and relate it to his real world job as a city planner.
How can you even mention factory games without pointing out Factorio.
Oh that’s definitely on the list, I thought I saw someone else mention it facepalm
