Colony Sim Builder. Mostly self-sufficient if you get it set up right. I recommend 4x4 city blocks. That will accomodate the largest buildings and allow you to place anything while still allowing for access. Place housing every other block at least and make waaaaayyyy more police than you think you might need. The citizens will always complain about something, so decide which complaints will get you elected (AKA which ones you can handle.) Build turrets early and often and you wont even get a problem brewing. 2-3 turrets can take down an entire swarm!!! Use containment centers to slow disease and have chem plants making antibiotics for hospitals and you will be okay. Good Luck. You got this!

The game features beautifully designed environments, with diverse biomes that present specific challenges and opportunities. A rich narrative immerses players in the Aven Colony lore, involving encounters with alien species and various planetary events. Resource management is crucial, as players balance different building types and prioritise needs based on their environment and colonists. The game also includes an environmental system, emphasising sustainable practices to prevent hazards. While it may have some minor AI and learning curve issues, "Aven Colony" is a well-crafted game that successfully blends strategic gameplay with captivating storytelling, appealing to both new and experienced players.

The concept is good. The execution is not bad. But what makes this game terrible is the static maps. All veteran developers know that the key success of a great sandbox game is random generated maps. Unfortunately this game does not have that and the developers are already gone.

For some reason it crashes starting the campaign. Nobody wants to fix this?
In addition: It's annoying that you cannot max the FPS to 60 in the menu. 2900 fps is too difficult for me to follow ;)
