Valheim grows a camp out of almost nothing, one Viking outpost at a time, and Raft hides the same loop on open water where every plank has to be earned. Subnautica buries its base building under the ocean, deep enough that light becomes its own resource, while Simcity 4 Deluxe Edition scales the idea up to whole cities. Strategy and Action share most of the 372 games in this tag, the loop running from a single tent to a full skyline.
