frezik comments on What is a video game that you'd love to play, but no one has developed yet?

Factorio-like game where you focus on sustainability rather than being the bad guy in an alien landscape. Need wood? Better replant or there won't be anything for higher levels of the game. Need metal? You can get it, but only in a few places and then you need to think about recycling what you have.

You should try Timberborn. It's not exactly what you're saying but one of the big parts is managing renewable resources like trees. If you cut them all down and don't have someone replanting, you're screwed.

Eco is a total dumpster fire of 'who can speedrun latestage capitalism the fastest and kill the server'. The only times I've had a successful server experience is when I lie my way into government then stranglehold the economy into being not capitalism so the general population can actually participate in the fun parts of the game. Anyway I have a thousand hours in it one of my favorite games, the only game I have with more recorded playtime is Factorio.

Well, that's sad to hear. I remember playing it in the beginning, and most of the servers I joined at least tried to protect the environment. I guess times have changed, it's been a few years since I actively played it.
