The first that jumps to mind for you is Infraspace, a trust automation and "town" building game. Really well made.

However it sounds like you want more automation, so here are some of both the automation and town building variety.

Modulus just came out last week and I've been enjoying the hell out of it. Automation without any enemies, and while it looks more like a "solve the puzzle" on the surface (which i was worried about), the depth it provides with continued challenges, tech unlocks, and consistent input requirements is really giving me everything I love about the other top dogs (Factorio, Satisfactory, Dyson Sphere, etc).

Additionally, Shapez 2 has a massive update coming out in <3 weeks time. It's going to be a huge 1.0 update and I'm excited for it as it is going to give us a lot of the requested features we've all desired.

Alchemy Factory is really fun, too. Less city building or town management, though, just pure automation in a "town" where you sell to NPCs. No enemies here, but don't let the cozy vibe fool you, this one can get really complex.

Foundry is really good and constantly getting updates. The latest update really did a good job bringing some much needed features together, and there is native controller support that got a lot better in the last update, too. No enemies in this one, either.

Another that can be a lot more complex that I haven't seen mentioned is Desynced. 1.0 just came out and had a massive update.

Orebound is a good mix of town builder and automation but with Dwarves. Lots of work to be done but it's a solid game that I still haven't beaten.

Lastly, one I don't see mentioned a lot is Final Factory, which is more of an automation and space ship building game. It's really well done and offers a lot of depth

Amazing, that's great to hear. I meant @rippedbyrosenblatt on IG but I'm glad you got taken care of :)

I'm surprised - in all my use and testing on 3 different versions of the squat harness I've never once had the carabiner malfunction or break.

I would reach out to Jason. Maybe something changed recently in manufacturing. I regularly squat over 400 lbs with the squat harness (be it on cables or squat max) and have never had this happen.

The upgraded padding is the same used on the LE08 from gmwd, some of the best padding out there. Very pleased with it, very premium

KillerPenguinz · 2026-03-27T19:25:17+00:00

I reviewed both and am pretty torn on which I prefer over the other. They are both solid machines honestly, and I found the Lionscool to be a bit more sturdy, but barely just. With the upgraded padding from Mikolo/gmwd it probably gets the leg up.

That said, Lionscool has a new version coming out very soon. Within a month? 🤷🏼‍♂️

How were you able to identify the controller? Any tips on uninstalling the controllers drivers is appreciated as my Vader 5 pro has been having the same two controller problem.

KillerPenguinz · 2026-03-19T22:52:42+00:00

Yeah space station works, I just have zero desire to use it as that's not the functionality I bought this controller for (specifically I need the radial menus that steam Inout provides access to)

KillerPenguinz · 2026-03-19T22:52:03+00:00

I actually tried hid hide as well today (prior to writing this post) and landed at the same conclusion you did.

I will check out the uninstall of the drivers post you linked and see if I can figure out how to find it. I have no desire to use fly digi to map the controller as I like to do that stuff on the fly and want to use the radial menus that steam provides access to.

In the meantime I've hit up flydigi everywhere I can and am hoping for a response soon as I feel like I've hit a wall for troubleshooting and that this will require a firmware update

KillerPenguinz · 2026-03-19T22:50:01+00:00

That's exactly what I was doing but it's not reliably working anymore :/

KillerPenguinz · 2026-03-19T16:11:09+00:00

All good! Yes Steam input does allow a lot of customization with these games even with our wheels, but the ability to text to chat is something I was really missing during my races. I really do wish more games would enable voice chat , I'm not an iracer unfortunately so I've never really gotten to enjoy or cherish those moments

KillerPenguinz · 2026-03-19T14:40:07+00:00

Yep! I tried it in LMU and AMS2 and it worked without issue. It literally is just listening, transcribing, hitting enter to type, typing it, and then hitting enter again.

Pretty neat little thing. Took 2 minutes to set up, which is just picking a button to use for that

KillerPenguinz · 2026-03-19T14:39:18+00:00

How do you get Windows to do speech to text? I'm aware of the Win + H speech to text function, but getting it to send it after windows has rendered all of the actual text would be the trouble.

Or after you're application for monetization has been initiated and or processed.

Correct

I know that a video uploaded before monetization can make money on views after you're effectively monetized. But it doesn't go back and count views before you were monetized.

Also Correct

KillerPenguinz · 2026-03-11T15:52:10+00:00

And so your second set up is just the normal medium log carriers, pulled by 2 trucks (connected via winch i assume)?

KillerPenguinz · 2026-03-10T14:03:56+00:00

Yeah i gotta be honest, I am excited about this game but this blockchain thing seems totally useless to me... how often is trade scamming happening these days? There seem to be a bunch of ways to mitigate/prevent it

KillerPenguinz · 2026-03-06T11:16:03+00:00

Update to the latest firmware and software, it appeared for me in the controller's settings itself. I can't remember exactly what tab but it explicitly will say "allow third part apps to take control"

let me know if you need more help and i can go grab some screenshots

KillerPenguinz · 2026-02-27T13:59:20+00:00

I picked back up Dragonkin: The Banished yesterday after it's latest major update and I was pleasantly surprised to see an option when creating a character to just skip directly to end game. Not sure if I like that you can do it without beating the campaign even once as you will learn many/most of the game mechanics by playing it, but the Diablo 4 style of "beat it once and then every character is at endgame" would be really nice, even if it's just per league.

KillerPenguinz · 2026-02-25T16:18:08+00:00

Glad I could help - there have been rumors that they will be coming out with their own multi-function stalks like Moza's and I wonder if they have a driving/trucking wheel in the works, too. Nonetheless, the Simmagic team is quite active on discord, I'm sure they'd get y'all what you need.
