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.

Exo Rally Championship: Probably the best rally game out there right now. Rewards carefulness and planning ahead.

Outbrk: Storm chasing simulator.

DinoSystem: Very deep survival simulation with dinosaurs.

Stationeers: Build and automate your own space station. Also features gas simulation.

Brainfuck Challenge: Brainfuck is a esoteric programming language with very few instructions you can learn in a few minutes. And this game is just a collection of puzzles/challenges made to be solved with this language.

shapez 2: Factorio but with shapes and colors

Beton Brutal/White Knuckle/Idols of Ash/Lorn's Lure: A bunch of precision platformers with no combat whose sole goal is go up/down as fast as you can. Lorn's Lure would be my favorite of the bunch but they're all unique in their own ways.

Nubby's Number Factory: Plinko meets neuron activation
