Planet crafter - Holy shit is that game janky, ugly, badly designed etc.
Conan Exiles - I did enjoy it for a while, but it quickly becamse such a chore since so little is explained so you spend so much time having to look things up, and even then it's often not obvious what to do. I payed solo, and there is a point where doing that just feels impossible, I ended up wanting to cheat to do some things and that's a point I never cross so I just stopped playing.
I really want to play some game like those; survival with base building, exploration etc, But I think I've exhausted the list of ones that are good enough for me. I've played Minecraft, Terraria, Star Bound, Enshrouded, Subnautica, Grounded, Valheim, Satisfactory, Factorio, The Forest and more that I'm not remembering right now. There are some that are in early access that I'm interested in but I've stopped playing EA games, I now always wait till full release.
If anyone has any suggestions I'd be very happy, I'm craving something to dive deep into. I'm only interested in Single player games through, at least ones that can be played as such.
similar suggestion to BlackAngels: RimWorld?
sounds like you'd enjoy top-down gameplay more than 1st person, so might be something to try!
pro tip: try the base game first. the DLC are all good, but none are required!
edit: RimWorlds' mod scene is also just incredible (some would probably call it non-credible too XD); there's Project RimFactory if you want a more factorio-like playthrough! (although, fair warning, RimFactory is pretty damn OP, up to you how much you abuse it...)
They are all centered around being the person executing the task. Have you tried Dwarf Fortress or alike games?
Soulmask. Its been phenomenal even in EA, and its about to fully release before the end of the year. Once Human is also fantastic and its free.
