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.

Do you need to tinker to make it work? I remember reading that the creator had no plans to put it on Steam.

It is written in C#/.Net, which depending on your Linux system can be a bit of a hassle to set up (like me on Gentoo).

That said, the Flatpak version is incredibly easy to get up and running no matter which distro you use, which is what I opted for.

It has native Linux support, works out of the box for me using KDE Fedora 43.
