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.

If you like Rimworld the obvious suggestion from me is Dwarf Fortress. It's on steam but if you're not sure I believe there's a free version with the original ascii graphics on the bay12 games website (at least there was when I last played).

Also Factorio might interest you, but for a laid back experience you'd want to turn down biters (mostly disabling expansions). May be mentally taxing.

Another comment mentions modded minecraft, which gets a +1 from me. Though if you want a "forever world" I'd suggest playing unmodded (save for some client side graphics / QoL if desired), as there's at least some guarantee you can keep the world as the game gets updated. If you do go modded though I'd suggest using prismlauncher and browsing through premade modpacks on modrinth and curseforge. P.S. if you don't already own the game somehow you'll want java edition, not bedrock
