DwarfCorp was a game funded on Kickstarter that also made it through Steam's Greenlight process. You manage a colony of capitalist dwarves sent by hot air balloon to a far away land.

Spacebase df9 (its an early access game)
In this case you are building a space station colony.

I can't really recommend spacebase df9 to be honoust.
It really lacks content.

It is very pre-alpha right now, it will get better.

That game is extremely fun.

It is also old though. But it is fun nonethelesss.








Every planet is different

Its got a mission mode
Campaighn mode
Sandbox mode
level editer

really cool dynamics and simulation (oxygen and everything)
lots of things to do.

Wasn't there a remake of that game?
And is it on steam or am i missing something?

[Untrustedlife]

There is an HD version.
Not sure if it is on steam though.

DwarfCorp looks nice.

how is the gameplay, is it more complex then gnomoria?

I really disliked gnomoria because it was way to simple, for example lacking any form of physics.

Space Colony

Space Colony is a nice game, really liked it back then.

Its not a sandbox like game but instead you do missions.

If graphics don't matter I can suggest another old game:

Wiggles.

Its 3d but 3d ages way faster then 2d.

Heres a screenshot:



However, if you want to play the most complex colony game in the world i really recommend dwarf fortress with a graphics pack. The beginning is hard because most of the time you have to use your keyboard but if you are into games like the above its very rewarding! After a few months of playing a building/sandbox game i usually know almost everything about it, have seen everything possible in that game. You can still keep playing these games afterwards (like minecraft is still fun after you build the best possible armor and tools or seen the end) but you won't have that fun of exploring new things in the game again or have the fun of trial and error.

But Dwarf fortress... Even after years it still manages to amaze me on how complex it is, what possibilities exist, the worlds than can be generated, the stories that are randomly generated, hell even the randomly generated monsters still tend to surprise me. So far, not a single fortress i had was like another fortress, each single one was unique. I can't say that for any other sandbox game, as each start in them doesn't differ so much from any other start.

Rimworld is the first dwarf fortress inspired game i actually enjoy playing.

I sincerely hope rimworld keeps going in this direction.
Steam early access can..change games...
