Comment on Do you have any recommendations for casual games?

I asked a similar question quite a while back. What ended up feeling good for me from the recommendations was Oxygen Not Included surprisingly. I thought it would be too much but just trying to figure things out on my own was fun, and I found myself falling asleep to thoughts of plans for my colony. Surprisingly addictive and chill, maybe because I could pause and think anytime things started going wrong.
But I also gotta recommend Outer Wilds if you haven’t played it already. Exploration, mystery solving in a chill solar system environment. Go in blind is the best advice for that game but I found it super chill and relaxing.

I used to love this game but later I found myself optimising little things too much and my PC couldn’t keep up with a well grown colony

Yeah, for me I always end up starting a new colony after getting to rockets. It’s my brain that can’t keep up with the colony past that point

Yeah mid game the cpu load gets bad. Some tips.
Cleaning up debris into piles to simplify physics calculations.
Removing gasses you don’t need that are floating around the map.
Walling off sections of the map with only one door to simplify path planning.
Killing off or consolidating the wild creatures.
Setting dups (like cooks) that don’t need to leave your base to not be able to leave.
