P.S.
I would still advocate Oxygen Not Included if someone wants a colony building game that's really intense on aspects of colony building. Despite the silly graphics, the systems the game relies on are pretty interesting and difficult. And they've pushed loads of updates to the game, all free.
I wanted to go back to Rimworld to check out their latest addition but was dismayed to find it's another $20 DLC. And their last expansion was totally not worth the money paid and arguably made the game slightly worse overall so I dunno that I want to encourage the trend of charging full game prices for minor expansions of questionable quality. I also thought about firing Stellaris back up but it's a goddamn $130 game now if you want all the expansion packs they added and charge for. I don't even know if I'd get back into it at all and $130 for an old space game seems a bit steep.
So yeah, Oxygen Not Included provides its money's worth. I have yet to "beat" it. (I'm not sure if there is a victory condition but there is content I have yet to survive to reach.)
