≈ 28k–66k copies

≈ $143k–$659k after Steam's cut

Only the top fifth of 2019’s Steam releases earned about $34k gross, so plan for that or less.

4 of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Dyson Sphere Program at ≈ 2.3M–3.7M copies, ≈ $12.5M–$33.6M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Resource Management (8 of 8) and Puzzle (7 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Automation + Space, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Space + Open World + Sci-fi; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2015 to 2024, and 1 of your 8 shipped in the last two years.
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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
