A lot of these are. But Sea of Stars is made by the guys who made the Infinite Space series, and I loved those games. They also seem to be making good progress and definitely aren't first-time devs, which is where most of the Early Access problems stem from.

So I tried online survival but nobody was really playing with each other.
It also seems like it takes a long time to get anything done at all in Survival. Mining takes forever, etc. Am I missing something? I guess a mining ship with scoop of some sort is necessary, then focus on getting more refineries and assemblers?

If you're into MP, I'd go for ARMA3 and RO2. I think a lot of the larger organised communities are moving over to ARMA2 from ARMA2.
For RO2 what you'd get is Rising Storm, which is Japanese vs US, and vanilla RO2 gets you Germans vs Russians. They're all pretty solid, though not as open as RO1 or the ARMA series.
For a smaller scale, but pretty realistic infantry fighting, I'd have a look at Insurgency.

I have a policy of not backing projects that aren't from people with a track record for having actually made games before. There doesn't seem to be anything on the KS page about their previous experience... does anyone know anything?

Usually you'd also like to get the attacks that lead away/to all of those arguments, so that you can keep asking for more stuff at the fringes!

Sorry, I guess I didn't explain myself very well
Right now, we have basically a huge interconnected graph. It's just annotated with threads so that it can be navigated like a forum. I think it's a good idea for us to have more query types, but it's also important that we not go overboard with it so that we have to implement a bajillion functions in every AgoraLib implementation

Things are already that way!
Querying for one argument at a time is incredibly inefficient, which is why right now we are querying thread by thread. But nothing is stopping an attack from connecting two arguments from different threads. The threads are simply an aid to navigating Agora like you do in a forum!
We do still need to know how to handle "merging" graphs. What's happening right now is that attacks that connect the thread you asked for to another thread will have a "bogus" argument on one end, with just its ID and threadID. Using that threadID though, you can grab the thread. We just then need to merge the old thread we asked for first with the new thread.

I'd second A2 or A3. If you are in Europe, I'd check out the super casual and awesome FolkARPS. Check their forums. It's organised, it has a chain of command set up at the beginning of every mission based on volunteers, has 40+ players on most play nights, and they are just awesome people.
They're also pretty vanilla in terms of mods!
Oh, self-plug. I edited some videos of my experiences with them. Some of the events turned out to be really funny, others just extremely tactical. Scratch all itches!
