Raft (not to be confused with the janky knockoff Survive on Raft) is good for survival not focused on combat. It is Early Access. You're a scout sent out into a mostly flooded near future world looking for others.
It's focused on surviving and progression is tied to the story. Instead of making a stationary base you build on your raft which is the center of your world, with brief visits to ever larger islands and other locations. It starts with a scramble for basic supplies but as you progress you learn the tools to make your most pressing issues easier so you spend less time just trying to eat and drink and more building and exploring. Like water goes from small batches scooped and distilled with a lot of manual time and effort through a few upgrades to eventually an electric automated system you occasionally need to change batteries for. All the other "chores" typical of survival games are the same.
