I like community builders and games that I can keep a world for years and grow, watch it evolve. I enjoy Rimworld. ARK evolved series is good.

Bonus if it's multiplayer capable LAN and not online.

Oxygen not included is nice but mentally taxing sometimes. I prefer laid back chill games with economy and farming. 2d or 3d doesn't matter. I don't mind trying indie games. Survival based games are nice. I'm not super pick and choose.

Give me your greatest joy in game form. I've heard Stardew Valley is good. I tried it, reminds me of a gameboy game. I could not get into the game. My character kept falling asleep like 14 times in a day.

Project Zomboid - harsh learning curve but fun survival
Avorion - Space combat and trading sim with block-building for custom ships.
Dwarf Fortress - very hard learning curve but you can sink thousands of hours into it and it will still surprise you.
Valheim - easy to start but difficulty scales fast as you explore

Or if you don't mind proton some great survival/builders are:
Raft
Abiotic Factor
Satisfactory

Satisfactory, i've just pulled a torrent, because the last Steam-enforced update broke my mods again and the Satisfactory Mod Manager also got a update problem, can't update the mods. A game i can't play, is useless.
