Dwarf Fortress sessions have been fun, but Oxygen Not Included provides a lot of the same type of satisfaction (unfortunately with no combat aspect, but much more complicated designing and building of systems) with great graphics and great UX. It's 40% off on Steam right now: https://store.steampowered.com/app/457140/Oxygen_Not_Included/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/457140/Oxygen_Not_Include... The simulation is highly detailed, but in a different way than DF: liquids, gases, creatures in the environment, and networks of machines that you build to produce food and oxygen, recycle various elements, manage germs, and generally keep your base alive. ONI is made by Klei Entertainment, an experienced team, which is primarily known for the game series called Don't Starve. It was in early access for a while and launched in July 2019. They've been adding more content periodically for free since then. I've enjoyed games of DF, but I'd find it hard to come back to after having played games like Oxygen Not Included, Prison Architect, Rimworld, Frostpunk, Banished, and so on. I'm looking forward to seeing what they come up with for the Steam release, though, and maybe be willing to give it another try. Factorio is absolutely amazing, but that's an entirely different kind of game.
