Sleep has left me!
400+ hours and addicted. Best I can explain is Rimworld / Prison Architect colony builder but with space travel, encounters and exploration added on. (Just imagine a Rimworld base travelling through space) Even though it's early access, the gameplay is pretty solid, dev_spajus (solo dev) is updating code daily, usually live on Twitch and super interactive with players. It's obviously a passion project and won't be left unfinished.

Gameplay is usual colony sim stuff. Locate and mine resources, gather & trade food and items, grow plants, etc. Feed, clothe and equip your workers and drones to work, research, fix, upgrade and expand your ship. Rescue more colonists or fight and defend from pirate and alien incursions. Explore infinitely rendered star systems, planets and derelict ships.

End game goals are to terraform planets and part of your crew leave to found a new planet colony... but you keep on going, gather more crew and keep exploring and colonising.
It might seem quit chill to start but don't underestimate pirates, asteroids and other encounters... they will ramp up and can seriously mess stuff up.

If that's not enough to pique your interest, all I can add is.... Cats... riding Roomba's.... with Energy Rifles!!!
