Mods - I am not sure how to read the rule against game suggestions. If it means no asking for suggestions please just wipe the post. No harm, no foul.

Fall is usually my busiest time of year preparing for winter in our little forest home. But I have been given orders from the doctors to basically take bedrest for up to 3 months, but I’m allowed to be sitting up… So books and games are basically all that is on the menu.

I enjoy automation games, tower defense, survival/building games, and exploration games.

I dislike ‘souls-like’ experiences where combat is tight and requires perfect timing. In fact in most games where combat can be disabled I usually do that.

My top games of all time would be factorio, minecraft, WoW/FFXIV (yeah… i know. But they count as one), Dyson sphere program, vampire survivors (and many of that type), and gemcraft type TD games.

Some games that have been recommended and tried, but don’t work for me right now or I have already finished:
mindustry, satisfactory, valheim, no man’s sky, alchemy factory, luanti, terraria.

Thanks in advance for your time. Much appreciated.

    Satisfactory: you land on a planet and have to build a massive factory to make parts to build machines to make other parts to build things to send back to earth to save it.

    As someone who loves automation and building, and design. This game just dominated my brain for almost two months.

    You are welcome, and I am so sorry…

    [edit: also check out Timberborn. I’m currently addicted to it. A very streamlined city builder where you control cities of beavers that work with/exploit the poisoned landscape hoomans left behind to survive.]

      I have about 25 hours into a few satisfactory attempts and for some reason it hasn’t stuck yet. Perhaps it is time for another try.

      Timberborn… As a forest dweller who shares his space with beaver. This is enticing. Thanks!
