A simulation sandbox game that seems like it's got potential. I hope it's got more of an objective than something like Dwarf Fortress with tons of ways to get there, personally.

Not according to the voice over or description in the video. It's also why they quote a Dwarf Fortress developer in the opening seconds, talking about how impressive the simulation is. Dwarf Fortress in that it's simulating this entire city for you to mess with, but the different take being that you seem to only control one person in it.

I didn't see any base-building in that trailer. The DF dev may have just been saying it's an impressive simulation, not that it's the same genre of game

That was the comparison they're establishing, not that it's a colony management game, yes. But neither is this game indicating it's anything like the Sims; Dwarf Fortress and RimWorld would have more in common with that.
