If anyone can suggest anything similar to Rimworld, Starsector that'd be awesome.

Former staff, also former Synthetic senator.
Now just a shitposter and lurker.
You play ss? Nice.
I haven't really found any game that comes close to starsector in that regard tbh. All I know about is Iron Armada, which is a sp/mp game inspired by starsector, you can download it for free on Steam.
Sheeesh this boy LRP as hell!
Observor is a really good game, it is exceedingly good with its world-building, storyline, characters and so on. It has one shortish which is a bit tedious but I suppose thats what you get from an indie-story based game.
Bastion is a safe bet if you've never tried it also, that game is based.

Spoiler:
Disco Elysium - Jesus fuck play this, it's like planescape torment, but reasonable, and easily my top game of the last year.
Other than that, one painfully obscure game that I love is "The Red Strings Club". Definitely not for everyone, and some of the main themes might be turn offs to the people in this community. But still, it's cheap as hell, and it has some god tier writing/music/art (If you're into pixel art)

Oh also, you guys got to try this really cool indie game I just found. It's super obscure, so you probably never heard of it. Its this game called Space Station 13 where you fuck around on a space station and beat up guys in red suits. There's even this really cool server inspired by Aliens: Colonial Marines that has an awesome community and great admins. Here, I'll link the wiki...

(Authors Note: This post almost took up an entire page. I deleted all the 3/5 games to make the list easier to look at. The full list is attached via .txt file if you're interested.)
Finally a thread for me. I love weird ass games and many of them are indie. I'm also including criminally underrated mainstream titles as well. Here are my favorites. It's a long list but they're good I promise. I'm using (my interpretation of) Videogamedunkey review scores (1 - bad, 2 - decent, 3 - interesting, 4 - captivating, 5 - excellent).

In regards to OP's post. A similar game to Rimworld would be Prison Architect. I couldn't get into that though. You might be able to.

Seabass has a pretty good list so far. I'd add onto it with the following:
Cortex Command
Dominions 4 and 5
Geneforge Series
They Are Billions
Xenonauts
Project Warlock
