Factorio would be perfect to let it play itself after you are far enough into the game. Play on peaceful mode so that you don’t have the enemies destroying your buildings

I wouldn't recommend this game for studying. It has a tendency to hook you (in a good way). There's a reason why people sometimes call it Cracktorio.

Thanks, you summarized the overall feel of the game very well, I'm a day one player myself! Unfortunately, like I replied to another person, I need something to check in between every study session, and I want it to auto-play while I study

Try out some incremental games! Some good popular games in the genre are Cookie Clicker, Realm Grinder, Antimatter Dimensions (and its mods), and there's a whole world of little niche incremental games out there waiting to be discovered.

If you want to ruin your life, there's always Eve Online. There's lots to do when checking it infrequently (mining, selling/buying stuff, etc.). You can then play actively for PVE content and PVP.

I feel like it's one of those games that keeps the player too involved, but thanks for the suggestion

Rimworld, at the later hours of a colony, becomes more of an idling game. Mods make it even more so by making your pawns and defenses insanely overpowered. My late game colonies usually have 5-10 brawlers that absolutely shred everything.

I would check out r/incremental_games for games like that. We're starting a community for it here on lenny !incrementalgames@lemmy.ml.

Pixel Dungeon is great, but neither the original (which you linked) or Shattered (the most popular version after it went open source) have an auto play feature. They're fully manual control the entire time.

Yup, thats my mistake. I was remembering soda dungeon incorrectly.

Never heard of soda dungeon, I'll give it a try! Thanks!

Also I know shattered pixel dungeon, which is a sort of "enhanced version" of the original: https://f-droid.org/...

Shattered is the recommended version of Pixel Dungeon, but it doesn't have an auto play feature. It's possible another variant of Pixel Dungeon does, but I don't know which one that would be.

You can set up afk farms in Terraria to find rarer items :)

This is actually a very interesting suggestion, too bad I'm not really into terraria. I'll bear this in mind though

Rimworld on 1x speed and on a lower difficulty. Spend some time setting up your farms, materials, buildings and research, and let your colonists deal with it while you study. Bonus points: the music is relaxing and really good.

You'll get a couple bad events every hour and probably will need to be on top of food for a while but on a lower difficulty with custom settings, you'll be fine.

A little late to the party, maybe you've found your game already and I'm not sure if this is what you search for, but what I did, while writing my master's thesis, was playing Stardew Valley.

It's cozy for the most part. The game auto saves after you finish an ingame day (it saves when you wake up the next morning if I remember correctly). Days were for me roughly 15-25 minutes, depending on how far I was in the game.

So what I did was play a day in Stardew Valley, then write my thesis for a while, play another day, write my thesis, play two days, write my thesis and so on. (I admit, there were days where I played more, but hey, I finished my thesis!)

Good luck with your studies!
