Maybe CDDA with some difficulty setting changes to reduce combat difficulties and push it more on survival/building.

The Planet Crafter seems pretty neat, though I've only played the demo. It's a first person survival crafting game where you terraform a planet.
ICARUS. Works perfectly under proton.
Runs like shit for me. I think it depends a lot on your GPU. For me it eats all the VRAM and then runs at 3FPS.
Yep, thats fair. Its a pretty graphically intensive game.
It can run easily 60FPS, it's only after my 8GB of VRAM fills up that it turns to shit. Meanwhile some people with far less VRAM are fine. I think it's an Nvidia issue.
Ahh yep, I've had that before. Though it was Diablo 4 that had the vram issue on my 3070ti.
They did do some optimisations in the last few updates, but that vram issue needs to be fixed up by nvidia.
Shame though, I don't have it in any other games.
I never got it to work well on my laptop. Tried for ages, because it looks like a cool game that I could sink a LOT of time into, but the frame rates were always terrible.

If you like 4x games, I would suggest X3:Terran Conflict/Albion Prelude from Egosoft. Its older, so wont be a burden,(CONTROVERSIAL OPINION ALERT) and probably the last good game from egosoft (/CONTROVERSIAL OPINION ALERT)
Space game set in a huge world with multiple factions and in a breathing world that can and does change with time with or without your actions.. hundreds of hours of gameplay, with options for building your own empire.. and its got a huge modding scene that can make it even more alive.
Once you start getting your personal economy going, you can take a more macro chill approach to the game, you can sit in a mothership issuing fleet commands and letting the AI handle everything, or you can get right into the cockpit of a corvette/fighter and dogfight yourself. While building massive station complexes to produce goods to sell and generate funds with.. or to build your own ships and fleets with.
Farming Simulator (pick which year/edition), it's surprisingly relaxing after whole day in office.
Vntage Story is pretty neat, it does require a WAN connection to start it for the first time but AFAIK it's possible to play it completely offline afterwards.
Beimg as mechanically complex as it is you'd think you need a wiki open the entire time, but the ingame "guide" has everything you need to know.
I don't know about the state of public multiplayer servers, but it is LAN compatible and it actively supports modding!
I have had it check my account after long periods of not starting the game. Infrequent internet connections briefly appear to be required to play it. Not sure how hard that would be to bypass.
So if you are going to be without internet for a very long time then you may want to look into that in more detail. Otherwise, great game.
Euro Truck Simulator 2
American Truck Simulator
I have thousands of hours in them 👀
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin..
A podcast in the background, hauling from Bucharest to Tallinn and then back to Frankfurt.
Promods is a game changer (and also the real economy mod)
ah goddamnit.. now I gotta reinstall one of the truck simulators, don't I?
shit.. I was in the middle of playing something else, too.
Heh whatever I do, whatever games I play, regardless of how much time has passed since I last played...in the end I always come back to ets2.
