Question: Aaaand the final recommendations request is a probably more tricky one...
I'm looking for "colony manager" style games (think along the lines of RimWorld) but that *aren't* about actual colonies, fighting natives, and so on, but rather about nurturing a healthy community. Something that *doesn't* encode expansionist values.
@IceWolf Perhaps doesn't match the description to the letter, but certainly does seem to match the vibe :)
