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.

    Another one for rimworld. I’ll bump it up the list a bit. I am a bit afraid that the learning curve will eat my downtime and then I’ll just be addicted but have stuff to do :p

      The learning curve is quick, it has different AI “Storytellers” called Phoebe Basebuilder that can give you a more chill experience.

      And then there is Cassandra Classic for the dev curated experience that is challenging without being impossible.

      And then there is Randy Random for when you absolutely have to have the slavers abducting your colonists get hit by a chunk of Uranium from space.

      Without a doubt, this game has the highest levels of replayability I have ever seen in a game.
