I like simutrans a lot (maybe the most elaborated TTD-like transport game), and I am trying to learn freeciv, but it is a bit "technical". I also like minetest, I have constructed a lot of big houses, the only FOSS game where you can cook a lot of recipes.
FreeCiv is a bit technical yeah. What I've been trying to master is FreeOrion. It seems really cool but the interface is hard to use.
What is Mine Test like and how does it compare to Minecraft? I've been meaning to try it for myself. :)
I believe minetest is made in Lua, and it does not need restart to apply mods. Minetest is FOSS, does not has all the UI and graphic enhancements of Minecraft, but it runs in very old machines, is lightweight (maybe 100 mb or less), it has a lot of people playing everyday (more than 200, big servers usually receive less than 64 players), has a lot of modding community...
Minetest is mostly implemented in C++, but its mods and game content (which are also just mods) are implemented in Lua.
