In a similar vein, I liked the physics in Oxygen Not Included - manipulating liquids & gasses & vacuums, and making all these machines work together to e.g. cool your base oxygen supply, or melt oil into petroleum. Check out Spacechem, I think it kickstarted the genre. Edit: PMush Perfect posted:Oh! So, I tried it! It's pretty charming, but it feels weirdly light weight compared to games like Stardew Valley since there aren't as many systems to engage with. Nice for plonking away at slimes in 20 minute sessions every couple days though. SolidSnakesBandana posted:You are right that the game at vanilla settings is absolutely poo poo. Like, it would have to literally be your full time job to accomplish anything notable. BUT once you up the rates like the previous poster suggested, you can bypass all of that. Then it becomes about exploring pretty areas with dinosaurs in them, and taming/riding the dinosaurs. The open world nature and the ability to recruit dinos is what made the game appealing to me. Particularly appealing is stumbling across a new dino and figuring out what its deal is, just bein like "what the gently caress is THAT" and then you can tame that thing and it can do something useful for you, like for example certain dinos can chop down trees super fast or get a lot of rocks from stone sources. I may give this a try and just play it modded, thanks. Fruits of the sea fucked around with this message at 17:29 on Oct 25, 2020 |

There is Gunsmith where you make factory production lines to produce gun, so you get like cloth and stuff and turn it to lining, to combine it with plastic you heated up so that it's "moldable" to make a thing that eventually turns into a left glove. It's poo poo like that, samething as factorio where you build copper into copper wire, into circuit boards to make red science kind of thing. I played this in very early access, and there was only like 3 guns and it was still super fun. There is also Big Pharma which has the added benefit of a management layer where you try to get your meds sold off for being the perfect thing. I've not played this one, but it's one I've wanted to try.

Workers and Resources is a city building game, but has lots of systems, logistics and production planning. Industries of Titan might be worth keeping eye on. Also a city builder, but you can go into buildings and ships and build various rooms and devices inside, and what you build determines the function of the whole building/ship. Still very early access tho. The Zachtronics programming games are also very satisfying if you have a bad case of engineer brain - TIS-100, SHENZEN I/O, Exapunks

I have engineer-brain, problem is I exercise it for 40 a week  so most of the Zach games don't stick. Opus Magnum's great thoughAnyway, thanks for all the suggestions - Industries of Titan is especially neat-sounding, I'll have a look at the others

Ciaphas posted:I have engineer-brain, problem is I exercise it for 40 a week You can ask in the Management Games Megathread. I would recommend Factory Town and Autonauts. Astroneer is pretty chill, not as complex, but they just added a ton of automation for late game so that might work for you.

For all that the UI is impenetrable, the actual gameplay and logistics tree of Dwarf Fortress is way simpler than Factorio's. Unless you get really deep into fluid and/or power dynamics, maybe, and they're both completely optional anyways.

yeah DF is firmly in the "i hate playing it, but Boatmurdered was funny" camp Autonauts I tried for a while, but I saw the grindy boring parts written on the wall pretty fast and don't feel much urge to pick it back up. Astroneer I played with a couple friends when the automation update came out - fun game for co-op, that - and Factory Town I have to go look up

Ciaphas posted:yeah DF is firmly in the "i hate playing it, but Boatmurdered was funny" camp For Autonauts (and I should have mentioned this) get the mod that gets rid of recharging, that helps the game play a ton. Factory Town I also should have mentioned  is in EA. So he's changing stuff weekly, however he's in near constant engagement with players on the Discord and I've really liked all the changes so far. He just added a campaign as well and victory conditions for those of you who like that kind of thing.I'll be streaming Factory Town this Wednesday at 3pm Pacific. I stream sporadically at best, so no requests for subs or anything like that. I stream as Mayveena.

This might be a stretch, but does anyone remember a black and white misery simulator from a few years back? I recall it was this niche indie free game that won some game jam award. You picked a character then had to RP them trying to survive and make something of their dire circumstances. Some of the basic gameplay involved going to a job and typing in various phrases describing what your character was supposed to be doing.

Blueprint Tycoon Ironically, I've never made my own blueprints, I'm not sure if they even worked correctly when I played it years ago. The remaining parts of the game work without tinkering with them, you get a default BP for every building and I just used those. It is 3$ and imho worth it.

On a similar note, is the best version of Final Fantasy Tactics the PSP version with the fan patch? I've heard the phone port is good but I'm not playing that on a phone.

The phone port is indeed good and plays really well on touch screen. Frankly, the game holds up better as a quick session here and there thing; the phone is probably my favorite iteration of the game yet.

I was wondering recently, are there any good takes on auto-runner genre? I've been playing some DKC games and, especially in the newer ones, I still absolutely love minecart and rocket barrel stages. Are there any games that did something similar, but, like, for the entire game? The only series I know of is Runner, and can't say I'm the biggest fan.

Not exactly what you described, but have you played the Rayman games? Legends and Origins both have great running levels that are synced to music, and cannot be recommended enough.
