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.

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.
