I just barely managed to cancel the update and apply hacks to prevent it completing. I
was one of the many people who got hit in the nostalgia from the show and decided to replay. Of course that meant grabbing a mod list which took a couple days to get downloaded and working. Then a couple days later they release an update that breaks all the mods. Would have been much better timing if they released the update ahead of the show so modders had time to fix things before the rush.
I could do without the vast majority of new characters they added in remake who all (every single damn one of them) decided to leave Midgar and through some magic coincidence show up in rebirth. But chief among them is Chadley (and Mai or whatever his female version is called). I get they needed a mechanic for trials but would it have killed them to add a fourth rest stop item that’s a VR booth? (Or replace the SP one, make it so there’s a reason to use the shops in the towns more than once.) He’s really unneeded for the Intel stuff, they could have solved that with the Mobile PHS and dialogue from your party members.
The whole point of that category is games that weren’t released this year…
This game has been out for a while. The team is well past the debut of their creative baby, but being the good parents they are, these devs continue to nurture and support their creation. This game, to this day, is still getting new content after all these years.

So not only do the backdoors in Huawei’s equipment reported on in 2020 allow them to spy on network traffic for China, but the NSA might have implants on Huawei’s backend that would allow them to also get a copy of that information. That sounds like all the more reason to avoid Huawei and go the GrapheneOS route. Not sure why you think any of that is contradicting.
In case you didn’t see already, Portia has a sequel that’s at very late stage early access.
The whole pantheon of Factory games fill a similar itch like some others have mentioned.
I’ve very recently started playing Dinkum which is a bit more Portia/Stardew/Animal Crossing like, with running around to harvest and mine then crafting and selling to buy things to build your island.
A bit less purely crafting but a good game with similar spirit is Graveyard Keeper.
Some of the survival games have decent crafting mechanics. Like 7 days to die you can turn down the zombie part and spend some hours running around and getting material to build a base and fix vehicles and stuff. Also Raft and Volcanoids are some other crafty survival game.
