VR development reality: Can't be bothered to move, I'll just test at my desk. woops, almost knocked the monitor over. Ouch, I hit my hand against the desk

My favourite boardgame right now is Ark Nova. It hits all my buttons of engine building, economy, worker placement, strategy and replayability.
Does anyone know any PC games that have similar elements? Would love some recommendations :)

Stones of Power is a challenging rogue-lite deck-builder where stones are what you use to build your deck.
Most of the stones are based on real stones and minerals and I want to share the used reference pictures and the current version of the stone in the game.
