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.
Rimworld.
Starbound! That game kicks ass.
Factorio
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.
I hadn’t heard of that, looks really good!
Minecraft: Java Edition. You need internet the first time, but afterwards it’s fully playable offline and also has LAN support built in.
I think you mispelled Luanti.
I think you forgot to switch over to the account that made this post
Huh? What are you talking about?
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.
Xcom 2: War of the chosen
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?
nah it’s HARD. I just savescum constantly when I play it cuz I enjoy going deeper than the whole roguelike way would ever let me
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.
Barony mayb slay da spire 2
Satisfactory, building game, a bit heavier on resources since it’s 3d but it’s good
There is also Factorio, game that inspired Satisfactory, less demanding on hardware as its using top-down view and retro graphics.
Farming Simulator (pick which year/edition), it’s surprisingly relaxing after whole day in office.
Endless Sky is a pretty cool open source space game.
Also Dwarf Fortress.
Kenshi. Sandbox rpg, citybuilder and more. Pretty unique and unforgiving, but the replayability is endless if you are into that sort of thing (lots and lots of mods as well).
I’ve played Stellaris for years, although I am really not liking the direction Paradox is going with their AI, and it really puts me off of their games.
NetHack
Endless fun
