I wish it had a modern GUI though. The old one is almost unusable even though they’ve made an attempt to implement DPI scaling.

Mindustry is neat if you like tower defenses and factory/automation games.

[edit] Though this isn’t exactly a game, I thought I’d mention it: The Powder Toy. Really fun physics-ish sandbox game if you like just playing around with little particles or making electronics or nuclear powered fireworks shows, etc.

Mindustry is great! I’ve put a ton of hours into it and I’ve gotten my kids into it. Super active dev and good community.

I prefer it to factorio

Not a very original answer, but I still enjoy The Battle for Wesnoth after many years.

I’m surprised hardly anyone else has mentioned Wesnoth yet. I last played it over a decade ago, so I’m not sure if it’s still as well-known now as it used to be, but it’s one of the highest-quality open-source games out there.

It’s a turn-based fantasy strategy game that feels like a combination of Advance Wars, Fire Emblem, and D&D. And I suppose it was a lot more unique back in the 2000’s when there weren’t a dozen indie games out there that fit the same description.
