The sentence you type
"Make a colony sim. Start with three colonists, one need each and one event."
The brief the AI writes back
First playable: three colonists, one need each and one event. The loop to get right: assign work, meet needs, weather the event.
Build, play, adjust
Compare with the games that define the genre: RimWorld (Ludeon Studios, 2018), Dwarf Fortress (Bay 12 Games, 2006) and Oxygen Not Included (Klei Entertainment, 2019).
What makes it finished
An event can ruin a plan, a colonist can fail a job, and you can reassign rather than reload as the first answer.
