So, I've spent over 2 hours on Steam searching for a nice game to play. But it's all junk, as far as I'm fed with Steam recommendations. I liked ksp~~2~~ 1, cities skylines 1, age of empires 2, baldurs gate 3 a lot, I just finished Divinity original sin 2. I like rpgs and management / factory games like workers and resources, satisfactory etc. I'm having a lot of fun with split fiction when I play with a friend, but I need a proper singplayer game. Anything I could get which isn't a total ripoff due to lack of gameplay or it being a bug simulator or dlc purchase mania?

Factorio. If you like satisfactory and w&r then cracktorio is right up your alley.

There is also a free demo on Steam.

If you enjoy the base game I would 100% recommend the expansion called Space Age with adds 4 more planets and space flight between them.

I played several factory games which is right up my alley. I know Factorio is the best of all by far, but I couldn't get in to it somehow.

I couldn't get into it either, but I loved mindustry (that someone else mentioned)
