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.

Endless Sky is a pretty cool open source space game.

Also Dwarf Fortress.

Thanks for reminding me I had Endless Sky in my library!

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.
