Just good fun. Gets a bit more complex as you go, but starts off simple

Before We Leave is overall an okay city builder, but suffers from a couple of significant issues.
1: The game appears to be horribly unoptimized and requires a significantly better computer than it should need to run. It straight up did not run on my old computer and causes excessive heating on my current one, which is a gaming laptop.
2: The game is very repetitive, forcing you to build up the exact same infrastructure on every planet you visit with no variation besides the different biomes.
3: The shipping UI is horribly designed and needs to be completely redone. The developers decided to be extremely lazy and used the same UI with the same import/export settings for both sea and space shipping. Combined with only being able to create a single spaceport per planet this results in serious issues, such as items that need to be exported to another planet not being exported if those items also need to be imported from a different island.
A great example of how bad the shipping system is are two islands I have that generated two tiles apart. The UI treats them as a single island, yet I am unable to build a bridge between them. Trying to transport resources between the two “combined” islands is extremely tedious and requires excessive micromanagement due to the UI not supporting exporting and importing from the same island.

I suggest this game if you have played, Frostpunk, Northgaard and RimWorld. It resembled me those kinds of mechanics a bit. Maybe I'm wrong but I'm definetly recommand it.
