What are some games like Rust that aren't life ruining?

Tabletop, DnD, board games, and minecraft. Also Animal Crossing.
Rules
Satisfactory has exploration and base-building elements, but the exploration and combat are pretty bare-bones. The focus is on setting up complicated harvest/production lines in order to progress.
factorio should also be mentioned here, as it is the game that got the factory genre running, and is just extremley polished.
