How do you know your ass tastes like Harvey Dent?
He let me near his rim
Songs of Styx, a very in-depth and unique city-builder. A lot of the concepts and their gameplay implementation are very distinct. On example would be the tech tree requiring maintenance (labs, libraries that consume certain resources and require many employees which all need to be fed).

I know rimworld isn't a city builder, but when you put the 187 mods on it that I have, and you just throw a lot of RAM and processing power at it it becomes a city simulator.
Medieval Dynasty. City building is just an aspect of the game though.
I tend to play each one for about 50-100 hours or so before jumping to the next. One that hasn't been mentioned here yet is Going Medieval.
Settlers 2 is the best city builder while not being a city builder!
does ONI count? i'm obsessed atm.
Oxygen not included? I would say so!
it really is borderline since it has so few of the genre staples. but if rimworld counts, then surely oxygen not included does as well.
my current colony is on cycle 1200, and i've not even breached the surface. i'm at the point where exploiting the physics engine has become part of every build.
frostpunk. not regularly, but maybe a game or two per month
Against the storm. It's a roguelite city builder which unlike other city builders I've played has not become boring and tedious after you've reached the endgame while still managing to scratch all the itches of other citybuilders.
Banished, and Openfront.io
You check out Francis John's playthrough of Timberborn?
Cities skyline 2 - I'm a prisoner, I can't go back to cs1 even though its so much better. I'm pretty sure its abandoned at this point by paradox and modders.
