Dawnfolk keeps the same focus on gathering and rebuilding so you can keep your people alive without clutter.

Banished
Banished puts you in charge of exiled travelers starting over with carts of supplies and empty wilderness. Your townspeople age, work, raise families and die, so every house, harvest and trade matters. No money, no skill trees, just hard choices about food, warmth and risk. Slow, stern and oddly tender.
