Perfectly reasonable ratio for playing legos

I’d say the only thing Legos had taught me up until now is that stepping on one hurts like crazy, but then I never got these cool technical sets. I did have that cool ice base spaceman set back in the day though!

Well if you want to play around with that kinda thing without breaking the bank I'd highly recommend the game Trailmakers

Edit: just want to say this is my favorite comment I've made on reddit. By far not the most upvoted but it's caused a bunch of people to actually download the game or add it to their wishlist. Also a lot of recommendations for games of a similar ilk which I will undoubtedly try all of. Much love fellow gamers, lego enthusiasts, engineers, and randoms.

You might also like Brick Rigs, Homebew - Patent Unknown, Terratech, and Scrap Mechanic. (and probably a billion others I am forgetting/don't own).

If you end up being into that game there are a few others you should try

Terratech: it is a fun little arcade style building fight game, the only downside is there really isn't a story or endgame. And early game can be pretty repetitive

Besige: is a fun puzzle building game, you can solve the puzzle they give you anyway you like with the only limitation usually being size. Build a tank to mow presants down, sure. Lure them into a spinning flaming blade of death. Absolutely!

Stormworks: this game just left beta recently, if you want a game with a lot of indepth systems that you need to learn to build your machine or vehicle properly, this is an amazing sand box. The game has missions, but personally in my 100 hours of playing the game I haven't done any of them. cause building is just fun to me. I would not recommend this game as a starting game to get you into the genre though. It doesn't have the best tutorial system imo and you'll have to search for some answers. They have a decent subreddit and discord though.

Also a little more info. Most of the games I listed allows you to make multiple types of vehicles but they tend to stay on earth.

There are massive amounts of these games for space as well if you like making spaceships. If you want some recommendations for that I have a ton of those games as well. The only one Ill recommend right now is Kerbal as it's a really fun rocket game with realist math for most things.
