It's a space colony simulator that's a mix of Dwarf Fortress and Firefly. It was initially released a couple of years back but recent updates and releases have pushed it to the forefront. Youtube game players like MetalCanyon picked it up and that's how I encountered this game.
It uses an AI storytellers that you choose at the start of the game, along with the 3 colonists that you will control. Your ship has exploded in orbit over a world in the Galactic Rim thousands of light years outside civilization and it's up to you to keep your three colonists alive after they land in escape pods with limited resources. Luckily, you get to choose where your pods land, so if you want to do a polar colony, or a tropical island colony, you can choose the landing spot.
Many shows I've seen of the game involve players choosing spots near mountains so they can mine those out and avoid ODST cyborgs landing in their living rooms. Unfortunately, the local wildlife live in the mountains and will infest your caves.
Their website describes it in further detail. RimWorld - sci-fi colony sim
If you want a gameplay video, I recommend this one by Skye Storme. You might not be pleased with his decision on what to do with the traders.
If I ever win the lottery or something akin to that, I might throw 1000 at it and get added into the game as an AI storyteller. If I don't travel this winter vacation (I get two months off in winter) I'll build a mod or two for it. I want to add Protoss dragoons and Terran Vultures as defenses.
