Any sandboxy space colonization game out there? (first person POV ala "Rust")

[vger]

All of a sudden this just hit me as being sort of strange that this either hasn't been done yet, or I just haven't heard about it.

I know there's a single player game about managing a mars colony, but after seeing a lot of 'survival' games out there where you can craft tools, assemble shelters, grow food, etc... has there been, or is there one being developed that focuses on space colonization? A multi-player game where a bunch of astronauts land on mars and then have to construct a working colony would be so bloody awesome.

I woudn't really say Space Engineers is a colonisation game. Doesn't seem like there are enough survival and resource aspects to it. However, Rimworld is colonisation-based. It plays a little like Prison Architect, however it's nothing like what you require.

It'll only be a matter of time before something along the lines is released though
