For me, it's Factorio.

a game in which you build and maintain factories.

It even has Wayland support!

(Version 1.1.77» Fri Mar 03, 2023 3:44 pm)

Graphics

Added support for Wayland on Linux. To enable it, set SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland in your environment. (thanks to raiguard)

What's yours?

EDIT: Great Linux ports* not like some forced ports that barely work or don't.

My top answers are of course Kerbal Space Program, Dwarf Fortress and Stellaris.

However, all those have been mentioned already, so, to add something new to the list: Pathfinder: Kingmaker. It is currently my favourite cRPG.

Edit: Since you mentioned "Great Linux ports": Kingmaker has a game-breaking bug in the Linux version regarding Gamepad input. However, as long as you play it with mouse and keyboard (as the gods intended - insert PC Master Race meme), the Linux version is working perfectly fine. However, if you plan on playing it on the Steam Deck, you might want to play the Windows build.

Space Station 14, seriously one of the best games I've played.

Space Station 14

Interesting that it hasn't come out yet. Did you play demo / playtest or what? I'm glad to see the Linux version.

There is a flatpak. It hasn't technically come out, however there are thousands of players right now. Though most are in russia. I would also recommended looking at the git repository to see how it's going.

Oh, nice!

Space Station 14 is a remake of SS13 that runs on Robust Toolbox, our homegrown engine written in C#.

That's awesome. Thanks for showing this game!

Paradox games! Stellaris, Victoria 3, CK3, HOI4, etc. They just make the effort with all their games and it's great

Since no one mentioned XCOM 2 I'll pick that. For some reason it only lets me play it with War of the Chosen expansion, though, and it's very difficult. But I have fun getting my squad wiped because I'm masochist like that.
