Mods - I am not sure how to read the rule against game suggestions. If it means no asking for suggestions please just wipe the post. No harm, no foul.

Fall is usually my busiest time of year preparing for winter in our little forest home. But I have been given orders from the doctors to basically take bedrest for up to 3 months, but I'm allowed to be sitting up... So books and games are basically all that is on the menu.

I enjoy automation games, tower defense, survival/building games, and exploration games.

I dislike 'souls-like' experiences where combat is tight and requires perfect timing. In fact in most games where combat can be disabled I usually do that.

My top games of all time would be factorio, minecraft, WoW/FFXIV (yeah... i know. But they count as one), Dyson sphere program, vampire survivors (and many of that type), and gemcraft type TD games.

Some games that have been recommended and tried, but don't work for me right now or I have already finished:
mindustry, satisfactory, valheim, no man's sky, alchemy factory, luanti, terraria.

Thanks in advance for your time. Much appreciated.

Creeper World 4 is a fun mix of tower defence and rts.

Dome Keeper is a rogue-light bunker defence and resource gathering game.

Noita is dungeon diving game set in a world built on a falling sand/powder toy engine.

Astroneer is a spaceman game where you explore and exploit alien planets for resources and to not die

Uncle Chops Rocket Shop is a game about maintaining other people’s space ships, each system is a mini game, the faster you go the more money you make

Creeper world 1-4 were SOOOOO good. I should have mentioned finishing those even though we don't speak of the newest one ;)

Noita is another one I enjoy, but can't sink a ton of hours into.

The other 3 have all now made it onto my list to try today. They all sound very up my alley.

Thanks!

Actually, Rimworld or Project Zomboid might become your whole personality if you let them.
