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.
Openttd trains for ever
Endless Sky is a pretty cool open source space game.
Also Dwarf Fortress.
Endless Sky got so difficult for me that I just could not progress. I became so known and such a target that the enemies just became too difficult and I could barely move from system to system. Survival became such a chore that I just gave up. It was pretty good until then, though.
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.
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
There is Luanti if you want something Minecraft like. It has a built in modding API and tons of mods available. It supports multiplayer over the LAN. It’s also very lightweight, it will run on almost anything.
Or just go for Minecraft itself
Microsoft? No thanks. I’ll stick with Luanti.
I wasn’t talking to you

The only reason for your character to pass out is if you don’t pay attention to your energy bar. Which can be easily renewed with food once you start getting money and production coming in.
I got so aggravated. My character I’d make go sleep inside and then come back and the guy couldn’t even walk outside to plant because I had to remove the trees. Dude fell asleep like 30 times and I gave up. I might try the game again when I have more patience. Sometime. Already have a small backlog of steam games.
ICARUS. Works perfectly under proton.
I never got it to work well on my laptop. Tried for ages, because it looks like a cool game that I could sink a LOT of time into, but the frame rates were always terrible.
Rimworld.
FYI - I’ve only downvoted you becuase OP already mentioned Rimworld and said he enjoys it.
Factorio
Was gonna suggest that, too, but he wants laid back and chill.
I suppose if he disabled biters it could be more laid back
I always disable biters, even back when you needed to kill them for purple packs.
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.
