And maybe it could be a very broad and unremarkable "unchecked power is bad" type deal but it's not possible to even take that vague, empty stance without addressing the system that creates the "unchecked" part, which The Outer Worlds 2 kinda just flounders on because it's too afraid to say anything

You could try Little Rocket Lab, which kinda feels like Stardew Valley with more Factorio types of factory optimization. Idk but it might scratch the itch
