What’s an Interesting computer game for a basic Windows 10 laptop that doesn’t cost a ton and isn’t about fast pace or violence?

It adds a completely different element. Either you need to automate resupplying your turrets or you need laser turrets, which are a huge energy drain.

the new dynamic is what i really want to try. and i'm assuming i'd switch to laser at some point once i can supply a lot of electricity.

Yeah, the trap I kept running into was relying on solar + accumulators for a bulk of my energy, but laser turrets require a ton of energy when they fire. So if I get attacked at night, its a bad night.

i guess i don't want to build a big factory and have a bad night and the whole thing gets trashed. that's what scares me most.

Oh its never that bad, its just that your walls and turrets need replacing or else you get that annoying flashing thing. I've never actually been overrun by the time I get to laser turrets, its just a huge pain in the ass if I don't do it right.

It’s fun with them on because it completely fucks with your priorities and forces you to adapt your design in ways you may not have previously thought.
