@Grisser Some pretty good ones I’ve worked through (other than Stardew Valley, which is a really common recommend):
* Rune Factory Series (farming sim, cooking elements in later titles)
* My Time at Portia (deep crafting sim/time management game hybrid)
* Satisfactory (early access, exceedingly deep automation crafting sim)
If you like crafting sims with puzzle elements, pretty much everything by Zachtronics is a recommend.
@Grisser Of the set, Satisfactory might come closest, since its primary motivator is crafting sim, but it has a huge world to explore with limited numbers of baddies to zap or avoid.
