We're still a gaming community right guys?
Hoping we can compile a trustworthy-ish list of indie games that are actually worth a damn. I'm maybe a single toe deep into the Indie game world.
What are some of your recommendations?

Since people already mentioned RimWorld and Timberborn, all I got left to recommend is Sailwind.
Sailwind is an unknown little game, made by a single dev with what looks to be mostly free or very cheap unity assets. But even though the production value may be low, it's still a great niche game.
The game isn't for everyone, it's kinda like a truck simulator but with sailboats in a fictional age of sail setting. You either get hired to deliver cargo from one island to the other, or you can buy cargo yourself and try your luck in the market. There's also a survival aspect, since you need to eat, drink and sleep.
It's got an awesome chill vibe at most times, alternating with "oh shit, this storm is gonna tear my boat apart" moments.
A lot of people will find it boring since there's no combat or multiplayer action of any kind (coop is a distant possiblity in the dev roadmap), so you should check out some videos first to see if it's your cup of tea.
But if you're into sailing, or just into cargo delivery games I hearty recommend it, even if it's in early access and the development process is very slow, it's still very fun as it is.
A one-man job? Pretty well-done.
But not my cup of rhum.
Yeah, it's a one man show, much like the game itself (where you have to handle a sailboat all by yourself). Development has been slow but steady.
