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.

These might not be for you but I want to provide a couple of options that aren't exactly what you're asking for but are pretty close. No offense taken if you think they are terrible.

Lonestar - Top down space rogue-like where you place modules in your ship to synergize damage output. Also known as 'space math'.

Sunless Skies - Steam punk space train set in the Fallen London universe. Emphasis on exploration and the setting just oozes style. Also the soundtrack is awesome.

Halcyon 6 - Take control of a space station and try to put together a fleet to replace the one that gets nuked at the start of the game.

These all sound very much worth a look. Thank you for the recs.
