This was excellent. Is there something similar with a bit more depth/replayability? someone mentioned Ftl in the comments and that’s a good one too.
Similar as in also a space setting or just text adventure game? There's Warsim which has an incredible amount of depth but with a medival fantasy setting instead.

#35Earlier quoted context omitted.
Planets[1] is still going and there's a maintained site with updated rules and quite a few people playing at planets.nu [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VGA_Planets
Alas, Planets.nu has no source code available. That's OK if you just want to play, but I really always wanted to make some changes, and to self-host (like you kinda could in the original vga planets) The UI and server are relatively simple though, so it should be a fun exercise to vibe-code a clone based on phost and openplanets.

#36Spoilers. https://www.johnayliff.com/games/seedship/index.html?blmOrxj... My settlers became an immigrant population on a planet with native aliens. But it worked out in the end! “ They spend their time pursuing art, leisure, and spiritual fulfilment, while automatic machines take care of their material needs.”

A perfect score, nice!

#40First time hearing about this game but enjoyed it a lot. If you squint hard enough it reminds me of my favourite text game A Dark Room https://adarkroom.doublespeakgames.com/
