If you’re at all interested in Factory type games I highly recommend Dyson Sphere Project. You start planetside but building / flying around your Dyson Sphere as it’s being constructed is amazing.
Also a mention of No Man’s Sky wouldn’t be bad. They’re still releasing content for it, which is crazy at this point.
What nerdy space games?
Elite Dangerous is my poison of choice, although Sins of a Solar Empire II has been beckoning to me for a while.
