Mods - I am not sure how to read the rule against game suggestions. If it means no asking for suggestions please just wipe the post. No harm, no foul.

Fall is usually my busiest time of year preparing for winter in our little forest home. But I have been given orders from the doctors to basically take bedrest for up to 3 months, but I’m allowed to be sitting up… So books and games are basically all that is on the menu.

I enjoy automation games, tower defense, survival/building games, and exploration games.

I dislike ‘souls-like’ experiences where combat is tight and requires perfect timing. In fact in most games where combat can be disabled I usually do that.

My top games of all time would be factorio, minecraft, WoW/FFXIV (yeah… i know. But they count as one), Dyson sphere program, vampire survivors (and many of that type), and gemcraft type TD games.

Some games that have been recommended and tried, but don’t work for me right now or I have already finished:
mindustry, satisfactory, valheim, no man’s sky, alchemy factory, luanti, terraria.

Thanks in advance for your time. Much appreciated.

    Since you said FFXIV and WoW are one of your top of all time except for needing to play with randoms (the part I personally hate are the forced solo sections) then maybe look at Star Wars: The Old Republic. I like FFXIV and I just started SWTOR because I heard the stories were good.

    Also apparently it’s fully voiced. And you can join you friends in their story mode sections (but if they are the same class you’ll have to repeat it for them, and they have to be the same faction [empire/Republic]). And I think you get scaled down to the world level so you don’t eat all their experience in the open world, but I’m not sure. I’m also not sure if there are required dungeons or not yet - I’m only level 13 but story quest level is 10. Free to play for the first two expansions.
