Outpost was set both in space and underground. It was a colony simulator not 4X though.

Release the same loving game that came out in the 90's, OP, because consumers of this fucktarded genre are brain-damaged and actually want that.

I had both Outposts. Outpost 2 was better, even though it was an RTS.

Anyways, how about a 4X game that takes place entirely under water. Endgame you have massive submarines cracking the ocean floor open to crush the enemy colony with lava vents.
