I have played Eve Online so many hours, and it's a bad game. Don't do it. you will spend hundreds of hours dreaming about the cool thing you'll do later, but for 99% of players the cool thing will never happen. You will be part of the one percent's cool thing.

Do you have a similar game?

Ahh Paradox games.

I love those games, everyone should play those games.

They make you miserable. But the pure sandbox jank is so fun! 00

You have to be a bit of a masochist to love Paradox which might be why I love Dwarf Fortress too.

Hah yeah I can't recommend Dwarf Fotress.

I can recommend Stellaris though, all the cool events, all the new features you learn, learning all the techs, meeting the fallen empire for the first time, your first crisis, first time meeting exterminators. All very magical.

Trying to become a try hard map painter is a path of ruin and frustration with every single mechanic.
