Video game: My Time at Sandrock

Travel to the desert community of Sandrock and take on the role of a fledgling Builder. Use your trusty toolset to gather resources, construct machines, and turn your run-down workshop into a well-oiled production facility to save the town from the jaws of economic ruin! -- Steam
This is from the same studio which published My Time at Portia and has pretty similar vibes.

Ah neat, I've been waiting for this to come out of early access. I really enjoyed Portia, since it combined bits of some of my fave genres.

I like the humor in the characterizations and dialogue, and I'm glad they added the option to save whenever you want to (if I recall correctly; in Portia it saved automatically once a day, like Stardew Valley, but there was no option to save manually--not my favorite gameplay mechanic, if I'm honest).
It's been a long time since I've played Portia (almost four years ago), but Sandrock has a lot of plot. I couldn't swear that it's more plot than Portia had, but I've put in nearly 50 hours more in Sandrock than I ever did in Portia even though I think I like the setting slightly less (I just don't get very excited about deserts).
