Games like ASTERSTEAD

If the replayable and relaxing rhythm of ASTERSTEAD stuck with you, this helps. These games could fill that gap nicely.

Stationeers
Build and run a space station where every pipe, wire and gas molecule matters. Stationeers models pressure, heat, power and farming as real systems, so survival means actually understanding what you built. Play alone or with friends, start with a cold metal box, and engineer your way to a thriving base.
