A mining incremental inspired by Motherload, Dome Keeper and Super Mining Mechs with some added automation - Chipmatic looks like one to keep an eye on. There's a demo available on the Steam page so you can try it out early right now.

More about it: "Chipmatic is a factory building game where you control a mining robot on a mission to reach Earth’s core. Explore deep underground, research new tech and create the best (and only) factory on Earth! Can you discover what mysteries lie beneath the surface in this ruined planet some used to call home?"

Check out the demo trailer:

Some Highlights:

  • Go underground for coal, iron, and other useful minerals.
  • Refill your fuel manually, or by using your resources to create energy automatically.
  • Discover what happened to the beings who used to live here.
  • Power your base with coal, solar, or high-tech alternatives.
  • Smelt your ores into ingots, and refine them into complex and useful items.
  • Automate production chains to keep your systems running while you explore.
  • Improve your batteries, drill, jet-pack, and much more!
  • Build a laboratory and research all kinds of game-changing upgrades.
  • Turn yourself into the most advanced machine Earth has ever seen.

This is going straight onto my wishlist. Could easily imagine myself spending hours digging and exploring in this one.

Based on the trailer, I think the answer to that is probably "no". This is quite different. No platforming, no combat, no NPCs or story as far as I can see. Although the highlight list does hint at some lore to be found.

Still, could be fun.

You are correct @tuubi - it's not a spiritual steamworld dig 3 ... more factory building and resource gathering. But it still is fun as you said! I've definitely wishlisted it and could be a really fun chill Deck game.
