Mods - I am not sure how to read the rule against game suggestions. If it means no asking for suggestions please just wipe the post. No harm, no foul.

Fall is usually my busiest time of year preparing for winter in our little forest home. But I have been given orders from the doctors to basically take bedrest for up to 3 months, but I’m allowed to be sitting up… So books and games are basically all that is on the menu.
I enjoy automation games, tower defense, survival/building games, and exploration games.
I dislike ‘souls-like’ experiences where combat is tight and requires perfect timing. In fact in most games where combat can be disabled I usually do that.
My top games of all time would be factorio, minecraft, WoW/FFXIV (yeah… i know. But they count as one), Dyson sphere program, vampire survivors (and many of that type), and gemcraft type TD games.

Some games that have been recommended and tried, but don’t work for me right now or I have already finished:
mindustry, satisfactory, valheim, no man’s sky, alchemy factory, luanti, terraria.
Thanks in advance for your time. Much appreciated.
If you are open to anything, try Wingspan.
It is a bird based card game you gain points for playing birds based on the number on the card, but it becomes an engine building game.
Each turn you choose one: play a bird, gather food, lay eggs, add a bird card to your hand.
Birds have certain “powers” such as each time your opponent lays eggs place an egg on your bird, or each turn used collect food from the birdfeeder.
The game is limited turns so you have to develop a hand of cards that you can play that will be high points, plus give you extra bonus actions to try to accelerate birds played, eggs laid, extra birds captured by predator birds etc.
As cards are laid down into food, eggs, collect cards sections it increases the reward of that section.
You can play online, with friends or against the computer. It becomes addicting in my opinion, because filling each section is difficult and just as you are collecting a good way to build a good reward engine the turns are ending, so you have to plan properly.
Thanks a ton. This sounds neat. I will definitely check it out.
By default they show you your habitats separate, but its easier to understand by clicking the brown button that shows the full card layout at once. To play against computer choose custom game and chose how many opponents. The separate Automata menu option is not really a computer player its a different mechanic
