I am not sure if it fits your bill, but when I am overwhelmed by my factorio mega base or tired of traffic in cities skyline I now switch to the recently released Sintopia. It scratches the build-optimising itch, but does so in rounds with a clear goal and a defined end. You can go endless and sandbox if you wish but I find it at the moment relaxing to know that after maximal 10 ish hours of avoiding the goal I can finish the run anytime and do a new one. And don’t actually have to fix everything.




Wouldn’t be the first step to gain trust then infiltrate all systems based on it. Once it has infiltrated and is part of basically anything electronic, advises or controls any and all policy making, business and finance it starts with pushing actual harmful policies but people are so dependent now that they can only follow.
