Absolutely. I was thinking of getting back into minecraft Redstone but I'd rather do it in a non-Microsoft alternative. Not to mention at least a dozen other projects on my backlog

Yeah, I'd be playing minecraft, too, especially with my nephew, but uhm. that whole microslop thing ruins it for me.

We do enjoy space engineers, though. (lots of mining, lots of building. Nephew loves it when Klang accepts our sacrifices.) It's a bit more involved than minecraft, though.

(but niftishly, there's programable blocks that will let you write c# code and... do things.) (space engineers 2 is in early access if you have the hardware.)

Check out Luanti and Voxelibre!

An open-source voxel game creation platform. Play one of our many games solo or together. Mod a game as you see fit, or make your own.

VoxeLibre is a survival sandbox game for Luanti. Survive, gather, hunt, mine for ores, build, explore, and do much more. Inspired by Minecraft, pushing beyond.

Mesecons! They're yellow, they're conductive, and they'll add a whole new dimension to Luanti's gameplay.

Mesecons implements a ton of items related to digital circuitry, such as wires, buttons, lights, and even programmable controllers. Among other things, there are also pistons, solar panels, pressure plates, and note blocks.

Mesecons has a similar goal to Redstone in Minecraft, but works in its own way, with different rules and mechanics.
