A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

There's a Pacific Drive + Techtonica bundle I'm looking at and might grab.
Part of the problem is I'm obsessed with Satisfactory which scratches a lot of the itches Terraria did but in 3D.
I used to play Terraria years ago, but it's been a while! Satisfactory looks pretty interesting, but I've never played it.
My plug on Satisfactory is you come for playing around with and making sculptures with conveyor belts, and then stay to play with jump-pads, pneumatic hypertubes and later, trains (that actually carry freight and have a purpose). Also the planet is pretty (and you're going to ruin it all by turning it into factories).
As with other automation games, it's coding in disguise, and if you get a buzz from configuring logistics to distribute parts and fluids from sources to processing machines, then this game can take over your life. The two principle schools of players are make it efficient and make it pretty. In the end, you have a giant playground to zoom around in and watch all the parts zip this way and that down conveyors, each with actual purpose behind them.
I do enjoy that type of game by spells, so I might have to get it the next time I'm in the mood for that! It does look interesting.
