going through the list of candidates with single player mode I have
The last one I have on my own wishlist, but It's still early access - so I'm a little iffy, how well does it play and how intuitive is the crafting system?
Are there any titles you would recommend?
As for the EA side. I've had it since the closed betas and they have done some impressive work on it. But as the past few months have shown, it has also been in a non-functional state on Linux (although not for everybody) for a while. The game could also do with a bit more optimisation.
As for a more traditional survival/crafting game, Stranded Deep is now on Linux too. Haven't played it myself (not yet anyway), but it always looked fun on streams.

Can you clarify - Are you looking for Minecraft-style Survival-ish games, including single-player or only multi-player titles?
Wayward is a pixel-based survival game, with a free Web Version and a Linux Version on Steam.
Some other ideas: Terraria, Stardew Valley, Kingdom: New Lands, Kingdom: Classic, Colony Survival, Starbound.
Also there is Unturned free survival game on Steam. The art-style is basic, but the game is very detailed and might be too adult-oriented for your child.

Check out Green Hell, Raft or Stranded Deep (with Linux version). Whether they are worth the money is for you to decide.
My personal favorite is Stranded 2, but that is quite an old game, although there is a mod that makes the graphics better. It gave me many good memories and works well with Wine.

Also the fact that the very first ting I found when initialy researching the game was a very,very long article dealing with identifying, classifying and reporting online predators in game did not help in the slightest.
Minecraft craft/survival games with advanced building mechanics ala. redstone in minecraft - single or multiplayer doesn't really matter as long as multiplayer means you have an option for local/friends only games.
Raft is his the wish list because his favorite youtubers played it ( brave new world eh? ) - how ever the "slight" issue of water not rendering when played via steamplay has stayed my hand thus far

Planet Centauri
Sky Break - you fight robots , so no violence to humans ?
Rising World
Maybe even Wurm Unlimited ?

ONI is not a very hard game... but they recently added a mode setting for "Survival" and "No Sweat" modes when starting. Essentially Survival is the previous difficulty, so I my thinking is that no sweat is quite literal in its difficulty. And on the off chance it is too rough, people have started adding mods that really make the game easier.

These games have endless replay-ability.
