Trappist is a new colony-builder that space sci-fi fans should take a look at, giving you access to a whole solar system to travel around and colonize multiple planets and moons.
"Trappist is a story-driven colony builder with resource management in the Trappist-1 solar system, and a focus on care-free building and story. It's easy to play and respectful of your time. You'll create and grow multiple colonies in the Trappist-1 solar system, meet new alien friends and explore the mysteries of Trappist."

The developer said they still plan to add more to the game including more planets, more aliens, more research along with improving graphical models and sound effects. While it's not an Early Access game, they do say it's "under active development".
If you want a building sim that's a bit different with interplanetary exploration, it looks like it could be interesting.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyDash it! I thought "Whoa, a game about space monks!" but no, the star system is just called Trappist. Major letdown.The system is named from the survey, Transiting Planets and Planetesimals Small Telescope (TRAPPIST), which is named after the traditional beer from the monks.
Looks pretty interesting from a quick glance at the video, I'll have to check it out when I get time.

And that background is pretty cool, and it means the game's locale is based on a real star system, which is pretty neat. So yes, I'll have to have a look at some point.

Quoting: Purple Library Guyit means the game's locale is based on a real star systemIt's a fairly famous one as these things go – seven planets in resonant orbits around a red dwarf, with up to four of them being in the right temperature range for liquid water on their surfaces. Wikipedia notes:
QuoteExoplanets are often featured in science-fiction works; books, comics and video games have featured the TRAPPIST-1 system, the earliest being The Terminator, a short story by Swiss author Laurence Suhner published in the academic journal that announced the system's discovery.[333] At least one conference was organised to recognise works of fiction featuring TRAPPIST-1.[334]
