I've been really into games with a good crafting system where you have to try to survive. Don't Starve and Subnautica are the ones that have taken most of my time. I also like colony management games, like RimWorld and Oxygen Not Included

I have not! My impression is that it's very heavily focused on automating things, but is there also a survival component, or is it focused on tweaking supply lines and stuff?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It's automation focused. There is survival, but in the sense of like repelling a wave of aliens coming to attack you, usually via automation.

It's still a pretty addicting game as you work out how to do things and laying out plans for how certain processes will look. I'd still recommend checking it out regardless.

It is different as other poster mentioned. But it hits the same spot in the brain for me. It's worth at least checking out

RimWorld is al all time classic for me. When I boot it up nowadays it's with a gargantuan modlist, over 500+ by now, and I love that the game's core systems are good enough to support all these mods.

I had never heard of this game before, but I bought it on your recommendation. Wish me luck!

Thats awesome! I highly suggest visiting their discord. You’ll find lots of conversation and if you have questions it’s the best place to be

The other recommendations you got are good, but add a slightly different style check out This War Of Mine. Disclaimer : it's. Heavy topic game. You survive as a civilian in an ongoing warzone (in short). You craft you home base during the day, and either scavenge for meager supplies at night (suffering exhaustion) or sleep at night. It's a fairly brutal game, emotional, but some people are into that stuff... A friend, yeah! Not me.

You have my taste in games dialed in. I LOVED This War Of Mine, and I loved the expansion that added children. I liked most of the characters, but for whatever reason Marko was always my favorite, and I could not stand Bruno. Honestly, I think I'm gonna go boot that up again and get ruined emotionally by the supermarket event again.
