Excluding Factorio because it has so much dominance in this genre. It’s great but I’d also like to hear about other automation games!

Oxygen not Included. You get a few clones on an asteroid and have to keep them alive. You can survive without automation but barely. The automation stuff is mostly circuits you build in order to not waste power.

You end up building nightmare spegetti monster machines because your fucked up and opened a volcano 20 hours ago and the only thing stopping your base from getting to hot to grow food is the toilet water getting dumped into the new steam chamber.

The real learning curve is thermal dynamics.

At begin is challenging but at end i realize that is actually all about resources that can be very limited. You can keep going for even 1000 cycles without know your game failed at 100. I wish was more istructive with better direction, too much freedom is fun at begin but terrible at endgame.
