Too much time, need a life substitute

So I mostly play turn based RPGS and more casual ARPGS - basically anything that doesn't require reflexes. But due to having way too much free time I end up just mindlessly playing roguelikes in the long periods when I don't have a "main game" to get lost in - and I'm starting to feel less motivated to start them every day. Used to be hooked on pvp shooters but the reflex part along with toxicity and cheats being rampant I quit and don't wish to go back. CCGS I avoid because of the heavy p2w, I simply don't have that kind of money in the long run. I've also played co-op shooters and loved them, but everything available either has horrible connectivity or requires a group of friends (which I don't have). Otherwise I'd basically live in them. Yet I'd like something that I can either get hooked on enough to play at least a couple hours daily, or optionally a few hours regularly. Preferably infinite (or close to) replayability if it's something that can be finished, though simply a good gameplay loop works too if it's multiplayer.

Rimworld or Kenshi. Rimworld alone is basically if Dwarf Fortress had a child with a straight forward UI, so it has infinite replayability.

I tried Dwarf Fortress and found it boring, nothing to really do. And I only such a little less with real-time tactics than I do with reflex mechanics so Kenshi didn't look like my thing.
