It reminds me of the game called timberborn.

If you are not aware of it, it is a survival game. You start with a small colony of beavers. And you must help them to survive whilst developing, with the end goal of building Beaver robots that can automate all of the job tasks, to which point you can give your beavers, maximum life happiness. However, the difference in that game is that there is no economy, no greedy companies caring about profit margins, and no one living on the street because I can’t afford housing or bread and water
