You can add a couple hundred more hours if the games have a healthy modding community.

I haven't really even dipped my toes into modding even at the numbers I've hit, though all the games I've sunk the most into have healthy modding communities.

Maybe it's just that the modding aspect keeps the community strong which makes it easier to find videos, stramers, shared experiences, and to get help etc.

Oh you should check Stardew mods out! There are plenty of them that are very lore-friendly without being game breaking.

I can’t speak to the others, though. Kinda avoiding Factorio because I know I’d lose months to it.

My Favourite Game of All Time is a mod, weirdly enough. Sonic Robo Blast 2, which is a mod of a source port of Doom.

I don't think I go a week without checking out the recent releases page to see what new mods dropped for the game. Just recently, a mod released which turns the game into an RPG heavily inspired by Phantasy Star Online (in particular, Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity)... the game's a gift that keeps on giving, I swear
