If you like managing farms, towns, cities, train services and far more besides, the good 'ol Switch has you covered. Later this year interstellar colony building will come into the mix, with Base One launching on Switch and pretty much every other console.
It actually arrives today on PC and Mac, so it'll be interesting to see how it pans out. You have to manage a broad variety of areas and requirements, using modular add-ons to bring the base together; it'll be story-driven too, so it'll no doubt throw up some intriguing scenarios and challenges.
You can read a description and see the PC / Mac launch trailer below.
Advance through a story-driven campaign that analyses the impact of interstellar colonization in a reality where corporate interests guide the hand of scientific advancement. Navigate through challenging scenarios that test a crews’ survival skills by completing objectives and modifying stations to establish a human presence in otherwise uncharted regions of space.
It may be one to watch, especially if the Switch port is solid. Let us know what you think in the comments.

High hopes for this one! Love management sims and space stuff, so fingers crossed it turns out well.
Potential banger for this one!
Steam reviews on this game leave a lot to be desired.
Steam Reviews
I'd check out the reviews if I were you guys. It seems the game has some glaring issues that need to be addressed.
@Kalmaro Seems a lot of it is down to technical issues, that hopefully will be sorted by time this launches on console. Also a strange forced time limit for any play mode seems stupid for a game like this.
@XenoShaun Technical issues, and they seem to make you wait for stuff often.
"in a reality where corporate interests guide the hand of scientific advancement. "
So.... reality?
A space station base builder? I hope you give this one a full review!
We really need a good space building sim, I haven’t played a decent one since Outpost from Sierra back in the day. Miss it!
Before commenting, read @Kalmaro's comment and click on the link to the Steam reviews. The game released in a sorry state, and needs to be seriously patched before it is playable. Of course this is all doable, but it should be a hard pass until those updates roll out.
While it looks interesting but the steam reviews leave a lot of doubt to how this is going to turn out.
If it's not optimized properly and being a base sim, it's going to really suffer badly on the console on top of all the bugs that actually need to be fixed for the version already released.
