How this list is made
Every day we read Steam's popular upcoming and new releases lists. A game makes this page when its store tags point to systems players plan around (for example crafting, automation, base building, colony or farming sims, creature collecting, deckbuilding), scoring at least 4 out of 10 on those tags. Release dates are Steam's; when a date changes we keep the old one, so "Date moved" shows the history. Summaries are ours, written from the tags. Each title links to its Steam page.
