Leaning more into the management style of games, might be worth checking out Two Points Hospital (spiritual sequel to Theme Hospital), and the more recently released Rwo Points Museum?
Project hospital is a fun hospital manager but it's a lot more serious than two point or theme
I got no clue if this would count as something you'd be into, but I've been having fun with Skyblock Zero on Luanti.
Idon't know how quickly you could finish it considering I play purposefully inefficiently, but it's a space themed with a quest line to follow where the only limited resource is your time. Spawn on a voxel, keep clicking to gain resources, and build out from there. So far one of my only gripes is storage in the game is only drawers instead of chests, so I constantly have machines and my inventory filled.
This thread is actually huge, so apologies if this has already been recommended, but take a look at Against the Storm. It's an indie city-builder with a bit of a rogue-like spin. You can usually get it on fairly deep sales, and the rogue-like elements combined with some meta-progression gives it a real play length, even though a single city-building session is a ~45-60 minute experience.
If you like rpgs and management I'd suggest Battle Brothers, a mercenary company management game. You basically travel the countryside fighting brigands and taking jobs from various cities all while building up your company with new recruits and equipment. It's got a bit of a learning curve but once you get the basics down it's oddly enthralling.
I just restarted playing fallout 4. Can give that a shot if you can catch it on sale
Grim Dawn was pretty sick too if you like Diablo style games. I was pretty impressed
Try Shroom and Gloom! It's a roguelike deck builder on itch.io, completely free if you want it to be. Very challenging and really fun
Dark Souls, no sense of management besides managing to not die, but it’s single player (with optional online interactions) and is good. Hard but satisfying when you get it. Lots to explore in the world.
A Plague Tale: Requiem
Thank me later
Oblivion Remastered is really good.
Oh man, careful OP doesn't post a two-page rant proclaiming how they're emphatically anti-Bethesda

Terraria.
Not on steam, but Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup is pretty good, and free.
I think you might like 'Rogue Trader', even if you don't know anything about the 40K universe. Cool story, choices and fights.
Don't worry too much about not knowing the background lore. The game contextualizes a lot in dialogues and even little mouseovers. But be careful, if you like SciFi, you might fall into the awesomely rich and grim rabbit hole, that is Warhammer 40K.
The Emperor protects.
Naturally we need to know which suggestions "won" ASAP
Shall I recommend WarZone-2100 ? It's free
- Factorio, I know you said you couldn't get into it, but try peaceful mode, it's a great game even without enemies
- RimWorld, it's an excellent colony management game
- Dwarf Fortress, this is the big boss, it's really hard to start, but it's the most complex simulation game out there. If you can get into it, it's infinite hours of fun.
Too lazy to check all responses but if you want a nice resource building game then Timberborn could be your jam.
I really liked it, played it a lot, but now I don't feel like playing it anymore.

I wanted to recommend go, but you said single player... there's always Katago to play against.
I guarantee you'll never truly 'beat' the game!
management / factory games like workers and resources
Maybe Frostpunk would be up your alley?

Stardew if you want a comfy game to play Timberborn for colony sim
Timberborn I played, was nice but don't feel like playing that anymore.
Stardew I've heard great stories about, but doesn't look like something for me. But I'll for sure check it out!
Yeah similar here, I could never get into stardew and I played timberborn a while ago but haven't felt like picking it up again since
Ksp2 was severely botched by Take2.. but if you're into the genre you might want to check out Juno.
In addition you might want to keep an eye out for KSA which is currently in early stages of development. As there's no official website yet, I try to keep on top of any dev updates and nuggets of information so I can update the lemmy community.
The KSA team keeps showing off incredibly impressive demos. I have no doubt they will be able to achieve a worthy KSP successor.

Going Medieval is a pretty great building/management type game! It gets updated often with new content too
You build your castle and manage the sims in their daily jobs. There's a great building system, farming, defense against raiders, mining, a good crafting pipeline. It's a lot of fun
