Mods - I am not sure how to read the rule against game suggestions. If it means no asking for suggestions please just wipe the post. No harm, no foul.

Fall is usually my busiest time of year preparing for winter in our little forest home. But I have been given orders from the doctors to basically take bedrest for up to 3 months, but I’m allowed to be sitting up… So books and games are basically all that is on the menu.
I enjoy automation games, tower defense, survival/building games, and exploration games.
I dislike ‘souls-like’ experiences where combat is tight and requires perfect timing. In fact in most games where combat can be disabled I usually do that.
My top games of all time would be factorio, minecraft, WoW/FFXIV (yeah… i know. But they count as one), Dyson sphere program, vampire survivors (and many of that type), and gemcraft type TD games.

Some games that have been recommended and tried, but don’t work for me right now or I have already finished:
mindustry, satisfactory, valheim, no man’s sky, alchemy factory, luanti, terraria.
Thanks in advance for your time. Much appreciated.


sandustry is pretty cool, it’s a 2d falling sand based factory builder. early access now iirc, and still new enough that there’s not a lot of guides or tutorials available.
i really dug it bc it REALLY appealed to the min/max part of my brain. every little efficiency boost felt like a discovery lol
I put about 40 hours into that demo and then checked back every morning to see if there was somehow an early release for 2 weeks
Within 48 hours of that release I had already 100% the achis.
It really is a great game. Just needs a bit more content.
