After starting work, I feel so tired every day, so I just want to play some casual games. Recently, I'm playing survivor-like games like Vampire Survivors and Darkchaser. They're simple and fun, but after a while, they get a bit boring. So, I'm looking for other casual game recommendations, preferably single-player games that can be paused at any time, like Plants vs Zombies. Thanks!

This is really hard to answer, because I think it highly depends what kind of player you are.

I don't play optimally. Yes, it's fun to haul yourself around with the grappler at breakneck speeds and stop just in time not to get squished, but I'm not that good at it. I also don't limit myself to the most valuable parts and move on to another ship, but collect the last metal frame. I would make more money in less time, but don't like the idea.

Overall the game stays the same with a few mechanics that get added (explosive charges and something that screws with your salvage and has to be solved first). The system in the ships get more complicated and you need to solve several steps before you can "solve" a problem.

Yeah, that's how I like to play in general as well, yet... I guess maybe the core gameplay just isn't for me. I might give it another go and see how it is after getting more upgrades though. Thanks for the response!
