Games i've already played:

Hytale - Played through twice. Once on single player, other on muliiplayer server. +oneblock and skyblock

7days2die - I dropped the game because I couldn't find all the zombies in a military base mission and I got sick of starting it over and over again. Dealing with something like an injured limb was really annoying also.

Conan Exiles - Played through it a few times. I like it. The combat is kind of meh but I like the setting and the feel of it overall.

Valheim - I didn't know where to go after finishing the first island you're spawned on. I assume I have to swim to another island. I'll probably try again another time but I don't feel like playing it right now.

Abiotic Factor - There's some things I liked about it but I just couldn't stand being stuck within the story. I'd rather play something that's more like a sandbox.

Palworld - It was fun on the first play through. It's releases a lot more since then but I don't feel like playing it again yet. I don't really like capturing pals and then having to breed them to get certain elements. It's too tedious of something I don't really feel like doing. So I imagine I likely wouldn't like Ark either.

Craftopia - It was okay. I played through once. It feels like it's just an alpha test of Palworld but it had some cool things.

Sun Haven - Played through once. It was fun. I don't think it ever gets mentioned here. Maybe because it's more of a farming game

Terraria/Don't Starve/Core Keeper - I want play something that's more 3D-ish

V-Rising - Never really got into it for whatever reason and don't feel like playing it now.

Longvinter - I just thought it was really boring. And it was always hard to find a spot for my house.

Rust - I love Rust. I actually liked the pve servers also. But i'm on linux now so I can't play it anymore. Is there anything similar to Rust building and progression? farming, fishing, Composting to trade scrap then using scrap to upgrade workbench, etc. I liked that.

Surroundead - I just tried it for maybe 15 minutes. It's just slow. Collecting timer is just way too slow. Maybe it's just the early game and maybe it gets better later on.

Project Zomboid - I barely tried it. It just seems way too tedious.

Maybe I missed something...

I'm not even really sure what i'm looking for. I could get smalland or stranded deep really cheap and I saw the new pirate game is on steam now. I'll take any suggestions.

Other than the obvious bunch, Last of Us, Days gone, Sunset Overdrive. I’ve struggled to find any other really good zombie survival story games. I’m not big on open world survival crafting games like Project Zomboid. I want another game that is similar to Days Gone but more polished and a lot less clunky. We’ve come off an over exposed market of these types of games through the 2010s into a complete drought other than the resident evil stuff. If anyone can give me some recommendations that might have flown under the radar for me it’d be hugely appreciated because I’m dying for another Last of us/ Days gone kind of experience.

Thanks in advance!!

What I meant is, a game with a set base that you leave for expedition and return to. And with set "spots" for building? Last Caretaker would have been perfect with them. If there were "foundations" on the roof for energy generator buildings, "slots" to build infrastructure (like having to choose between additional batteries or storage containers)...

I do like State of Decay (especially 2) but that's not the vibe I'm looking for right now.

A server sooo simple it doesn't exists

Looking for Eu English speaking slightly boosted conan exiles server.

I dont care about mods, I just wanna finish steam achievements!

Looking for people to play with. Hard to make gaming friends easily. I'm in my 30s and live in PST zimezone. Usually play on week nights and weekends and like to stay up late if I can. I own a good amount of these types of games and open to more. Looking for chill vibes and people who are down to put in some time. Current ones I've played (also into replaying as well) are 7DTD, Ark, Minecraft, NMS, Grounded, PalWorld, Smalland, Valhiem, Dayz, The Forest, Sons of the Forest, Project Zomboid, V Rising, Fallout 76. Mostly base building adventure types but also into story driven non base building. Hit me up if interested
