First or third person, preferably 3D. No post-apocalyptic games unless it's a post-apocalyptic scenario in nature. Also it must have a singleplayer mode. Does anyone know any games like this?

Eco could fit your description.

There is a single player option but the game is way more interesting as a multiplayer game.

You have 30 days to avoid a meteorite destroying your world. You start on a wild planet and you need to progress through several technological advancement to build a laser able to destroy the asteroid.

You have some classical resource collection and processing. However where it become interesting is the fact that every action impact the environment, slowly first then more drastically towards the end.

If the miner left his tailing on the ground untreated then it will slowly pollute the ground and impact the production of the farmer.

If one of the woodcutter cut too much woods in the forest then you create some deforestation, less trees means less pollutions to be absorbed. The hunter can hunt some animals species to extinction or help them to thrive.

Since it's a multiplayer game there is the possibility of voting laws to protect some lands and which money will be used for global exchange.

It's a fascinating game, unfortunately it is quite time consuming and not very polished but I love the concept.

Sounds interesting, but it's in early access. Can it be finished as of now?

Yes. Stopping the meteor requires a number of materials as well as powering the device to destroy the meteor. Also just to clarify, 30 days to stop the meteor is 30 real time days. The game is largely complete and honestly, I don't think you'd even really notice what's missing unless you specifically look up what's not there.
