Games like Dyson Sphere Program

A typical game among these

≈ 93k–350k copies

≈ $716k–$4.7M after Steam's cut

from ~4k reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019's Steam releases earned $34k or more before Steam's cut, so plan for that or less.

All 8 of the similar games are hits.

Best case: ASTRONEER at ≈ 4.0M–6.5M copies, ≈ $33.1M–$89.1M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 4k reviews in their first month; the range was 1k to 32k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Automation (6 of 8) and Space (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Open World Survival Craft + Base-Building, priced around $27. The breakout hits carry Open World Survival Craft + Co-op + Open World; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: 5 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. You'd be launching into a busy stretch.

How these numbers were worked out

A hit here: 1,000+ reviews, roughly $150k+ before Steam's cut (a standard indie benchmark).

Copies come from each game's reviews times a sales-per-review rate that falls with release age, from about 31 for the most recent game here to about 43 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
