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.

    In case you didn’t already know, the FFXIV developers added a system called ‘Trusts’ that let you bring AI companions into the dungeons instead of having to play with randoms. They’re usually based on the party members you have with you at that point in the game. I originally didn’t like playing with people either, so I was glad to have the option.

    (Though I ended up meeting a random nice lady who liked books who invited me to a free company, so later on I ended up enjoying the social parts more since I didn’t have to deal with randoms.)

      I think I recall something about the trusts. Can you actually finish the MSQ that way? that’d be a quick draw for me.
