Yeah, unfortunately, I can't think of the same type of game in true first person 3D. Maybe, Satisfactory (for building vast structures and automating) or 7 Days to Die (for the survival aspect).

Unrelated, but have you by chance played the Talos Principle games? Those are my favourite first person puzzle games, on the level of Portal and Portal 2.

For building vast structures, to me it's mostly Space Engineers, but that's another concept too, not exactly "build a gigafactory" type game. Still, building something big and cool it does.

I'm also sad MMOs are rarely first-person. Like, there was Tera, but it died immediately as I first heard of it, which is super unfortunate because it certainly seemed to tick my boxes.

I didn't play The Talos Principle, but heard about the game. Spent quite a while in both Portal games though - good times.

Elder Scrolls Online has a first person mode, for what it's worth

Fair enough!
