Have we done Seedship?
Rather pleasant lo-fi text game where you try to find a new home for humanity. I ended up with a benevolent monarchy overseeing medieval levels of technology in water-borne cities, which was nice.

No, we haven't
But now I shall.
Edit: I was expecting a paperclip-like epic monster that would suck days out of my life. This one's remarkably brief in comparison, but all the more approachable for it.

I ended up with a industrial society that had achieved cosmic enlightenment, and nobody died, which was nice

I'm going for dystopias.
If you build an AI that thinks like a human you get what you deserve.
My latest has 104 colonists dead from the corrosive atmosphere, 142 from water shortages and 201 from earthquakes before they got working shelter.
The remainders are huddled in caves with nothing but stone tools while automated water recyclers keep them barely alive. For now.
Oppresive theocracy.
That'll learn em!

I just took the first crappy planet
See what happened when they all died, still fucking lived. Like bloody cockroaches.
Tried an even worse planet, still fucking lived under a benevolent monarchy.
Then I find a planet with ancient ruins with ancient technologies that take human science to great new heights but no resources so they have stone tools... error
This is pants to be honest

Post-Scarcity Utopia
Garden's ocean tosses with slow, tall waves, beneath a pale blue sky. The colonists live in tall cities of steel and concrete with buildings sealed against the planet's harsh environment, on platforms floating on the planet-wide ocean. They spend their time pursuing art, leisure, and spiritual fulfilment, while automatic machines take care of their material needs. In the first city stand monuments to the 62 colonists who died building the first settlement and the seedship AI that guided humanity to its new home.
So there.
