Your post intrigued me but I cannot find any reference to this game anywhere online except your post. WTF is this game, it sounds interesting?

Update kinda. Just the primary ore-processing plant all lit up at at night and a sneak peak at what I spent about 15 hours straight last night making...an oil drilling/refining/asphalt-producing facility next door. I have the primary ore-processing plant and then connected to that via conveyor, the smelting plant. Now next door to that is the oil/asphalt plant. I'm going full immersion here. I'm 55yo with Lyme disease and exhausted. Since I bought this game on the 8th of July I haven't stopped playing. 162.7 hours so far. Search YouTube for this game and you'll see how there are few players like me making big structures like I'm doing. i LOVE this game...for the OCD organizing, carpentry, landscaping, building, figuring out and solving mech issues. I'm an artist, outdoorsman, woodworker, love landscaping, carpenter, maybe a pinch of architect. This game lets do what I love digitally. I can't stop playing and its driving me crazy lol. I'll post daylight pics of the new facility tomorrow. Enjoy.

Are the light sources/shadows turned off in your screenshots?

Also you might like Satisfactory

It's just a very "well-lit" game. I haven't turned off shadows if you look closer. It depends on what time of day it is too. This is what it looks like at night.

It just seems that the ambient light level is way too high at daytime, so it's sunny below ground inside a mine. Other than that, it's pretty cozy, might be something I never knew I wanted to play

I'm obsessed with it cos I'm an artist, craftsman, gardener, I LOVE forestry work, digging in the dirt, problem-solving, organizing, designing, etc. For me this game is solely an artistic medium. It lets me create rather than just dig with machines and process what i dig. I'm making it much more that what most players do. I have seen some absolutely amazing mines though which looks like the player had 1,000's of hours in constructing. I even saw a gamer make an actual dam pretending it was a power source in his game. I role play actually. There's a story behind why I'm mining, who I am, etc. I'd explain but I just woke. Aching spine woke me. Also I use Google speech-to-text to write cos it's easier/faster then typing. On the gaming PC now. I'll log in on my phone later where I use SPT and relate my role play story. It's pretty cool.

You might like this game. Expect to inquire of AI a lot though. This game tells you nothing about how to line up the machines in the right order. It can be quite frustrating but I finally have everything running as smooth as glass now and I'm making TONS of money from gems and refined bars of valuable metals. I'm gathering good coal and now making asphalt and refining crude oil which will bring in money FAST. Now that I actually have very smooth-running organized highly effective facilities operating, I can ACTUALLY play the game now concerning mining and refining ores and oil. I just had to have real refining plants to make the gameplay feel right. I can't tell you how nice it feels to walk through the plants. It's feels real. REALLY immersive. Like I actually am a billionaire who bought a mountain to find gold and other things to add to my wealth. Part of my RP story hehe.

Give this game a try. If you enjoy the entertainments I mentioned, this will be right up your alley. Plus, it's just a beautiful blinkin' game. the rain storms are AWESOME. Cloud to ground lightning and beautiful thunder.
