I like the rougelite and idler combo so wondering if you guys have any other recommendations

I'm struggling to think of similar "idle" game, most other idle games with similar progression make you wait or click a lot more. This feels more like a [optionally] slow RTS with no enemies (unless you count the rock), because the tech tree and diverse unit strategies. I dunno.

Another unique "RTS" would be Kingdom, if you hadn't tried that. Left, right, and down are the controls. It's definitely not idle though.

The below games by "The Evergloom Team" are a bit more interactive than a typical idler.
Desktopia: A Desktop Village Simulator
dEskape

Here we have some more worth mentioning idlers.
Melvor Idle
Factory Town Idle

If you can handle less eye-candy, check out Trimps.

Also SPACEPLAN is awesome.
