Curious if anyone has run into a space travel simulator involving building/managing a multigenerational colony ship or something along these lines.

Planetbase 2 - Dev Update 03 [Overview of new builds and updated mechanics for older buildings] (store.steampowered.com)

I have 200+ hours in the original Planetbase and 100% achievements, so I am pretty biased, but I love the relative simplicity (by the standard of most city-builders) combined with the sci-fi themes and survival mechanics (albeit starting from the mid-game, the survival mechanics are not that important) of the original game.

I always wished there were more compelling late game expansions mechanics and buildings in the original. Planetbase 2 looks to be shaping up as the sequel we need 10 years after the releases of the original.
