Popular funny colony sim games

Settlements fall apart in funny ways here, which is why these popular colony sims stay entertaining. In RimWorld you shelter people after a crash while hunger, injuries and arguments keep interrupting the plan, in Oxygen Not Included you stretch air, water and power inside a cramped asteroid, and in Dwarf Fortress you steer short miners through dark tunnels and outside threats. You hand out jobs, grow food and patch walls while small errors turn into jokes.
