Hello, I recently figured something out about myself. I love making stuff. My favorite games are 1. Starcraft 2 because you make an army and a base 2. Skyrim because you grow a character from simple guy 3. Minecraft because you get to make awesome buildings 4. Final Fantasy because you get to level up and grow your characters I think you get the point. My question is this. Are there any games that are like a Minecraft MMO where you make stuff that is actually useful? Like a mix between Starcraft, Skyrimm, and Minecraft. My problem with minecraft is that the stuff you make isn't actually useful. If I make a giant pyramid it isn't going to help me in any way. I want a game where you have to strategically build bases in a way that will best protect you from the enemy, or where you have to figure out the best and most efficient way to build a mine. Is there any such thing? Oh and I know some of you will say get Dwarf Fortress but that game's UI is just too bad. Otherwise if that were multi player it would be my favorite game of all time! Thanks for the help.

Um not really. Terraria doesn't have the game aspect I want, and AOE online doesn't have the creativity I want.

Miner Wars, it's in pre-alpha stage. You mine out minerals, build space stations, that kind of stuff.

Look at some Minecraft mods, like Technic/Tekkit.

Gods and Heroes has a lot of that. Too bad the game is total dung. It might not even be around anymore.

I'd have to second this game, although I may be a tiny bit biased as I've posted two threads for it before :P It really shows you what a handfull of top tier programmers can accomplish: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEqUjk-s7gY&hd=1&t=2s

I've been playing through some of the older Civilization games again recently (just picked up Civ 5+Expansion also) and they might be what you're looking for since you can build your own kingdom.

Check out a new game that is in alpha, called "7 Days To Die".

It is a combination of Minecraft, Dayz and Fallout, with some Tower Defense elements to.

I am making this thread a fav just so I don't forget the names of these games lol, they all look so good.

I own most that are out, but the ones in development looks great too. Â
