I like community builders and games that I can keep a world for years and grow, watch it evolve. I enjoy Rimworld. ARK evolved series is good.

Bonus if it’s multiplayer capable LAN and not online.

Oxygen not included is nice but mentally taxing sometimes. I prefer laid back chill games with economy and farming. 2d or 3d doesn’t matter. I don’t mind trying indie games. Survival based games are nice. I’m not super pick and choose.

Give me your greatest joy in game form. I’ve heard Stardew Valley is good. I tried it, reminds me of a gameboy game. I could not get into the game. My character kept falling asleep like 14 times in a day.

    I recnetly started playing a game called “StarSector”

    Basically Mount & Blade in space someone said.

    Really good so far, have not played more than 30h due to lack of time to play due changed life/work situation.

    Edit: forgot to say that it is Single player but tons of mods that feel very much in line with the game.

      Did they ever finish it or at least finish it enough? Played it a long time ago and it had so much potential.

        Not really. But the game was open sourced a couple years ago and that with mods is pretty good.

      FYI - I’ve only downvoted you becuase OP already mentioned Rimworld and said he enjoys it.

    Vintage Story. It’s a very good survival, very customizable experience too.

    I think it’s a game that shines best in a multiplayer civilization RP tbh but even as a single player game it’s a very nice survival. It may look similar to Minecraft at first but it is very very different and in all the good ways.

    Plus mod support is so good, by design, even the website itself has 1-click installs.

    Oh and it has chiseling.

    Technically, Satisfactory (3D Factorio, but more chill) allows you to host your own servers. You can host a server in your LAN, connect to server via IP -> enter the server’s local IP.

    There is also Terraria which is very low spec.

    Factorio is great, how has no one mentioned it yet? Also Dwarf Fortress, Into the breach and “FTL - Faster Than Light”.

    They all have native ports and are moddable.

    Factorial and FTL even have huge overhaul mods, that change most stuff so they don’t really get boring.

    Caves of Qud. I’s like if Dwarf Fortress’ adventure mode was actually good, and set in hyper-post-apocalypse scifi world where the very water you need to drink (or if you’re amphibian, splash on your skin) is also the world’s currency

      It’s a great game and all, but… is it just me or is it a bit harder than would be expected? I would consider myself to be pretty decent at the genre, but I will usually die a stupid death on something not previously encountered while exploring, and since it takes a while to reach that stage again, I’ll usually put it aside for a while and do something else.

      Is it just me?

    Farming Simulator (pick which year/edition), it’s surprisingly relaxing after whole day in office.

    If you like 4x games, I would suggest X3:Terran Conflict/Albion Prelude from Egosoft. Its older, so wont be a burden,(CONTROVERSIAL OPINION ALERT) and probably the last good game from egosoft (/CONTROVERSIAL OPINION ALERT)

    Space game set in a huge world with multiple factions and in a breathing world that can and does change with time with or without your actions… hundreds of hours of gameplay, with options for building your own empire… and its got a huge modding scene that can make it even more alive.

    Once you start getting your personal economy going, you can take a more macro chill approach to the game, you can sit in a mothership issuing fleet commands and letting the AI handle everything, or you can get right into the cockpit of a corvette/fighter and dogfight yourself. While building massive station complexes to produce goods to sell and generate funds with… or to build your own ships and fleets with.

      There is also Factorio, game that inspired Satisfactory, less demanding on hardware as its using top-down view and retro graphics.
