Hello Lemmy,

I'm looking for a long-term Android / browser / PC game, were you manage your stuff and come back a few ours or days later.

I'm thinking of games like:

aspects that I don't like in the above games are:

  • PvP (especially when you have to come online at a certain point in time in order to not loose sth.) -> ogame, Neptun's Pride
  • Needing to be online at a certain point in time to make proper progress (stuinverse)
  • being to overwhelming or basically an excel sheet (Prosperous Universe)
  • pay to skip time sucks
  • keep clicking to progress faster is sth. I don't like as well

It doesn't need other players or a scifi theme (although I prefer it), but it should be real-time based and long-term with little daily time input.

It should be a management, base building, trading, strategy game.

Perhaps s.o. knows games like this :)

I don't have too many good suggestions but mid-to-late game Satisfactory has some of the vibe you might be looking for, especially if you are able to have it run on a dedicated server while you are away.

It's hella addictive and it might take 8 hours of playing to get to a point the factory can run completely on its own. It can be a bit complicated to get everything run at a good efficiency but it's pretty much not required unless you a raging perfectionist.

Oh, I never thought about that. That means it keeps producing, while I'm away if I host the server version myself?

Satisfactory is so good. One of my all-time favorites. I use a dedicated server when I play it, because I'll play from a few different computers when I do. But resources stop pumping out if nobody is connected to it. Maybe there's an option or a setting to keep things rolling, but that's the default behavior -- nobody connected the game effectively pauses.
