Rimworld, way too much Rimworld. A big part of it is that I'll often have it one a second computer during the workday just on pause to pop in during downtime but I guess that still counts as playtime just being loaded.

Ive got 2.2k hours in RimWorld and I've only ever tried to launch a spaceship once(spoiler I died).

Such a good game, such good modding scene.

I’ve tried the game a few times and it doesn’t click with me. What’s is it that you find so appealing?

I like that each pawn builds up a personality overtime and grows as a character. I pretty much just play Rimworld as a doll house simulator

I feel this way about XCOM. I’ll give this a shot.

When someone does a heroic move I elevate them to hero status in the colony and they get a better bedroom, better armour and the best weapon.

Dangit you’re making me want to play. Can you build an army with laser guns?

Emergent gameplay is what appeals to me

For me a lot of it is in trying to maximize efficiencies. Setting up task duties and resources where you have plenty enough but not overloading your storage. Defensive position designs to counter any possible situation. Layouts to the base to allow free movement.

Lot of others try for specific artistic ideas or scenario goals, but I'm something of engineer minded player.

I’m not efficiency oriented at all. Which I dislike because I wish I was, but simply not. I do like base building games, and enjoyed Banished a lot.

I imagine you’ve played Satisfactory.
