Any gamers here? I play a lot of Destiny 2, and I've been meaning to give Deep Rock Galactic a go!

Steam (on Linux). The games in this genre are pretty sophisticated these days, e.g. Rimworld, Factorio, etc. Cities Skylines is such a good simulation that it's used by real world city planners.

Jeez. So they're kinda like the Flight Simulators of the building/planning world? That's awesome.

Not all of them. I mean, I guess you could use Rimworld to test out how you would build a colony of militant cannibals! 😂

Haha I haven't played Rim World. To me it sounds like an ass eating game.

Check out the Youtube series 'City Planner Plays Cities Skyline' he actually plans out and manages the cities he makes with absolutely everything: Water pipelines, power utilities, different levels of road and traffic management, zoning for commercial/residential/commerce etc. He even designs and implements things like University Campuses and National Parks into his cities.
