That idea of your brain filing up just makes good evolutionary sense. Brains with a lot of excess capacity would be larger requiring more food and oxygen. Evolution should optimize brain capacity for the normal amount of knowledge needed. In the modern world we have so much more we can learn that we must try to exceed the capacity and something must go. I am concered about what I lost to learn French vocabulary.
You missed few nice games, like Ostriv, maybe Patron, but all-in-all nice list. I think I've played most of these games. Oh, and Songs of Syx, though it is more a city-state builder rather than colony sim… but still worth noticing (and superb game itself).
Great list. Rimworld, Oxygen Not Included, and Prison Architect are genius games, but maybe not for everyone. Frostpunk ist to me more a mix of city builder and survival with additional story related events. Against the Storm is very cool. Some may claim it is more repetitive as the player builds a base with limited resources and requires adaption to the situation with randomized set of available buildings. But very well made. I am missing Anno 1800 and Workers & Resources of the Sowjet Republic, but I also understand your list could get even much more longer like binging on potatoe salad. 😂

Stronghold is not a part of this list? Blasphemy!
"If you ever had a dream to make children work in the mines."
Humor. 😁
Diplomacy is Not an Option 😉
Some more notable colony sims:
IXION, Space Colony: Steam Edition, Endzone: A World Apart, Pioneers of Pagonia and Dawn of Man.
No Songs of Syx?
Thats one hell of a cat…

This list is absolutely on point.
Please, check Ostriv
I really want to download RimWorld but it’s so expensive

goblins of elderstone looks good too
