Question Your Favorite Building / Management Games

That looks really cool... and really addicting. I may have to give Factorio a try soon since we may all be in quarantine anyway.

It will eat your days like I eat shredded cheese at 3am

By it's very nature, the entire game is "just one more thing, just five more minutes."

It's basically this:

Uh oh... I think I might have to get back into Cities Skylines soon...

My favorites have been:
Farm Together
Kingdoms and Castles
My Time at Portia

I recently purchased Parkasaurus, Rise of Industry, and Besiege. I'm enjoying them.

Has anyone here tried Castle Story? I followed the development for a while when I first heard of it, but haven't really looked into it in a while. It seemed promising, but also like they wouldn't really be able to get a good game out of their ideas.

EDIT: Same question for Space Engineers, has anyone tried it? I tried it when it was still in development, but haven't played after they added planets because my PC couldn't handle it. I know that it has its own programming language you can use to automate stuff, but I've never played long enough to have any use for it.

Castle Story looks kind of like a cross between Stronghold and Minecraft or something, looks fun but it's got a mixed set of reviews from Steam users. I have not tried Space Engineers either, it looks complicated and I really enjoy Kerbal Space Program so maybe it'll be worth a shot down the line.

There are the screenshot threads down in the Arts section. It gets lonely down there sometimes...

I recently tried installing Theme Part from GOG on my PC, but I seem to have all sorts of issues running it
DOSBox seems to keep crashing, even if I slow down the cycles.

As much fun as it was to revisit it, I did end up installing Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 instead which I also had in my library, but unlike Theme Park have never really played! After getting through the gargantuan tutorial yesterday, I'm looking forward to diving into career mode

Cities: Skylines, of course! I have no doubts this is the best game

 

[planetkeeper]

stronghold or settlers.... both have their flaw of being a snowball to win/lose.

While Cities Skylines is amazing I haven't managed to sustain a thriving city for long since I can't figure out optimal traffic routes.

Caesar 3 and Pharoah were my favorites a while back and I really loved the art style used in those games. The dialog from your citizens was hilarious though.

@kingslayer I failed at making a proper sewer system for my first town in CS. It did not end well

 

[Hveðrungr]

I think Fallout 4 counts here.

I remember my first time as well when I put the sewage outlet upriver from my water pumps. I was wondering why everyone was going sick.

Ah I adored these back in the day, even tho it was sometimes a bit annoying how long it took to build some of the monuments in Pharaoh. But the art style was so smoothing, I could watch it for hours, similar case as with Settlers II. Good times.
