Can I semi-hijack this post to ask you all: What is the best colony sim you’ve played (including the ones OP already has listed)? Looking to try one for the first time. Bonus points if it plays well on Steam deck.
Rimworld with mods is literally an endless experience. I've played 800 hours and come back to play another 50 every few months.
How is it on the deck? Playable with the touch pad?
I have Rimworld and a deck and it plays great. Sure kb+m is better but honestly I was very surprised how well it controls on the deck. Doing things like laying out where to build, mine etc is a bit fiddly on the track pad but you can always pause to do that. It's good enough and I have gotten so use to it that I play it mostly on deck now
