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.

I recnetly started playing a game called "StarSector"

Basically Mount & Blade in space someone said.

Really good so far, have not played more than 30h due to lack of time to play due changed life/work situation.

Edit: forgot to say that it is Single player but tons of mods that feel very much in line with the game.

Fun fact, the devs encourage people to share a serial-key to those wanting to try out the game, so you don't need to purchase it in case you wind up not liking it.

Here's a serial-key courtesy of an edgy vtuber that uses a war criminal as an avatar: TEITW-HP9ON-A7HMK-WA6YA

Again this is not piracy, the Devs actively encourage this. Which is awesome. So if you like the game, buy the game, encourage this behavior.
