    I have been jumping between Foxhole and Factorio.

    Foxhole is a new game to me and I am really enjoying the massive breadth of it. From Infantry combat, to vehicle combat, to the insanity of the complex logistics involved in keeping the war effort going. I love that you can get really invested into the manufacturing of weapons and vehicles and lose yourself in that for a hundred hours --- , or you can just drop into a front to do combat.

    Factorio has been a deep time sink for me for a long while. I keep going back to it because plotting out new methods of manufacturing items and factory layouts just scratches that itch. My friends and I recently begun a 1000x science run -- where all the researches cost 1000x more. Its been a fun challenge that requires you to megabase even early on just to get basic things unlocked. Eventually we plan to let the server run overnight to get some of the more insane cost researches done once we have established a proper defense -- as the enemies bug-aliens will grow and evolve over time so leaving the game running has the possibility of the aliens out evolving your defenses so you need to plan accordingly.
