I'm looking for a new colony sim on PC. What I've played so far are:

Rimworld
Oxygen Not Included
Banished
Timberworld
Frostpunk
Anno 1800

I know some of these might not be strictly colony sims. What I'm really looking forward to is Manor Lords, but we don't have a definite release date on that.

What are your recommendations?

I feel like I should recommend Dwarf Fortress but I also feel like I should NOT recommend Dwarf Fortress.

Look, I'll just leave Dwarf Fortress here in the corner, peering into the room and the rest of us can try to ignore it. But it's there.

Dwarf Fortress isn't a colony sim game, though

It's a tavern corpse clean up sim.

Pffft! Look at this dude who assigned a tavern keeper to the inn while still allowing non dwarves entrance to it. Everybody knows that those knife-ears and humies can't handle nutritious dwarven wine. They get drunk and break shit. Best just to not have them in the fortress at all.
