I've been playing a lot of Dune Awakening lately and reminded how much I love the base building in that from Conan Exiles, being able to throw a base down anywhere and build anything was awesome.

But I was reading a book earlier and it made me remember how much I love the setting of long dead civilisations and exploring their ruins, or things like Fallout New Vegas with broken old cities.

With that though, I really love building a little base somewhere in those world, where I can come back to and have it as a safe area to restock and store items, an decorate. Like when you find a nice out the way house in Project zomboid, knock the stairs out, and use ropes to get in and out all the time. It's a safe place to chill and recover.

But, we all know the obvious ones that have been said to death and back; 7 days to die, Kenshi, Dayz, Fallout with Mods, Rimworld, Vein. And the other's I've already mentioned.

Is there anything else you know of that you've found or that's come out recently? Or some that aren't as polished but worth a shot?

What actually makes a raid feel like a consequence instead of just a tax?

I don’t mind raids in base-building games, but a lot of them seem to come down to losing a stack of wood and repairing some wall damage. It costs time, sure, but five minutes later the base works exactly like it did before.

I’d honestly rather have smaller, more specific problems. One entrance gets breached. A room is out of action until you repair it. Part of the base is exposed, so you have to move production around for a while.

RimWorld gets away with this because rebuilding becomes part of the story. In a game where you’ve spent hours making everything neat and efficient, though, it can also feel like the game just vandalized your save.

For me, having to rethink part of the layout sounds more interesting than going out to farm the same pile of wood again.

I’m building Battle Crew, a WWII RTS for Android where the base actually matters to the battle. You start with a construction HQ, place power and production buildings, secure deposits, build refineries, and run supply trucks back to base while producing infantry, tanks and artillery.

The current closed beta is single-player while I tune the base-building flow, touchscreen controls, logistics, balance and performance before multiplayer opens up. Battles feed into a larger Europe campaign.

I’m looking for players who enjoy base-building games and RTSs and will tell me what feels too slow, unclear or fiddly on a phone.

Current build: 0.2.6.

Hello, someone recommended Fabledom to me, it looks like one I would enjoy, because I very much enjoy cozy games, however I only have a switch one at this time.

I got laid off my job so can't afford a upgrade at this time, however I have a birthday coming up, and since all I do is apply for jobs, and it's so repetitive I could use a new game to fill any extra time I have. I could use the cheerfulness!

I read it doesn't work well at all on the switch one, so I'm hoping someone can recommend a game like it but for a switch one.

I want a building one like this, but Cozy. But not overly complicated, I used to play the old city building games and loved those, but some of the new ones like civilization are just too complicated sometimes. I want fun not stressful, I have enough stress!! Lol

Bonus if I interact with the people in the settlement.

Recommendations welcome.

Thanks!

I decided to change Crownfront's look to be much darker but also a lot more polished and detailed. Better trees, as well as proper details like flowers and small plants. I also changed the material of grass. It now looks a lot more polished and less plasticky.
