I like community builders and games that I can keep a world for years and grow, watch it evolve. I enjoy Rimworld. ARK evolved series is good.

Bonus if it's multiplayer capable LAN and not online.

Oxygen not included is nice but mentally taxing sometimes. I prefer laid back chill games with economy and farming. 2d or 3d doesn't matter. I don't mind trying indie games. Survival based games are nice. I'm not super pick and choose.

Give me your greatest joy in game form. I've heard Stardew Valley is good. I tried it, reminds me of a gameboy game. I could not get into the game. My character kept falling asleep like 14 times in a day.

Rimworld.

FYI - I've only downvoted you becuase OP already mentioned Rimworld and said he enjoys it.

Fair. I read faster than my brain processes sometimes.

It's such a fun game, always "maximizes narrative", as it says.

Similar genre: Necesse. It looks a bit ugly, but also very enjoyable.
