After starting work, I feel so tired every day, so I just want to play some casual games. Recently, I’m playing survivor-like games like Vampire Survivors and Darkchaser. They’re simple and fun, but after a while, they get a bit boring. So, I’m looking for other casual game recommendations, preferably single-player games that can be paused at any time, like Plants vs Zombies. Thanks!

    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 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.

      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
