Open world survival craft games like NMS

[Wartasticus]

I've looked for this some on my own, but does anyone have recommendations for open world survival crafting games like NMS that are low violence with non-human enemies? That's currently my niche and they seem kind of hard to find. Thx!

When I want a break from space... I really enjoy Rising World. There is a pretty complete Java version available, but they have switched engines due to limitations and have reached full Alpha on their Unity version which is free for anyone who has purchased the main game of course. stable, several updates, and has come a long way for a one-man show.
It's basically a more realistic, gorgeous, voxel based Minecraft. You've got total control over new games... whether you want dangerous animals, raiders, etc. or not. Lots of different animals, including horses to catch and ride... crazy good (if a bit complex at times) build and crafting system.

Thank you Mandrake for the suggestion, looks like a mixture of Fountain, Medieval Dynasty, Minecraft and Valheim (without the abominations), therefor I ended up getting it

I came across these 2 3 games, while looking for NMS stuff on a not-popular-at-all youtuber(s) channel. I've not played them.

1. Subsistence
2. Sunkenland.
edit. 3. the planet crafter (no enemies now or ever).

Agree, Rising World has indeed the best and most detailed building mechanics I've seen. Even without glitches, you can build anything, any way you want, no limits.

Planet Nomads might fit that bill.

Unfortunately it looks like it's no longer available on Steam.

It's still avail on GOG - but wait for one of the typical 50%-off sales.

It was "abandoned" at some point - but there is a full game here, with multiple endings (depending on your actions and choices), and your description may match it.

It also has some unique features that I'd like to see in NMS (or Empy). For example, the ability to build some automation's for cargo-movement, storage and crafting.

I like to play a game of it once in awhile - even just recently.

It's worth $10 (on sale) - and since it's on GOG, that means you can DL and play it offline.

Planet Nomads Steam (not avail)

I have quite a few hours in Planet Nomads, kinda surprised it's no longer on Steam. I hope that means it won't disappear from my games inventory.

I will second (third?) The Planet Crafter. The survival aspect doesn't last all that long, but the slow dopamine drip of developing an entire planet is pretty sweet. I can't believe it's developed by only two people. And they're dedicated to having no violence in the game, ever.

If non-sci-fi is acceptable, I'll give a shout-out to Green Hell. It's a game where you're dropped into the Amazon rain forest with nothing and must craft tools and weapons and gather stuff to survive. Building in it is fun, too. And it has a nice story if you're into games with stories. It does have human enemies in the form of natives, but you can turn them off if you want. Then, your main enemy is black caimans and jaguars. It's probably not a game for people who have snake or spider phobias, though. I like to play it without killing anything, because killing things isn't my thing at all, just gathering fruits to eat, but to do that you do need to turn off the large predators, too, because the jaguars, at least, will sometimes just ambush you from nowhere, with no warning, and can't be run away from.

I play both Planet Nomads and Planet Crafter; and I think one difference between them (that is, relevant to the OP - as there are major differences - such as that Nomads is long-done, and is as is; while Crafter is being actively developed. Also, Nomads is a "you crashed on the planet and need to survive and escape" while Crafter is "you landed on this planet to terraform it into a livable world (which is does very well)" - but relevant to the OP's "low violence with non-human enemies":

Nomads has several kinds of animal life - some are aggressive, some are not. You have tools to deal with them.

Crafter has, as you noted, "no violence". It's basically you alone-from-danger on the planet, from start to finish.

Depending on how much interest there is in "low violence with non-human enemies", Nomads does fit that bill.

Another vote for Planet Crafter. I started with the Demo and low hopes, but wound up buying the game and continuing play. I didn't read too much about the game before I started play, but after I had a few realizations about what was happening and the core mechanic I really enjoyed my time.
