I've always thought these are dumb but I'm starting to think I understand the appeal and wanna try getting into them. It would be cool if it had some strategic or customization elements, is available on PC, and can pretty much fully be played with a mouse. It doesn't have to be totally idle I'm okay clicking around sometimes I just don't want to be that engaged. Like a background thought kinda game.

What's the scoop on this weird ass genre

My current one is Unnamed Space Idle, it is my favorite so far
