Steam Deck friendly "ant farm" base building games?

[4]

I really like Evil Genius 2, particularly building my base and watching all my little dudes run around and automate everything in the base. This game runs kinda hot on the Steam Deck, and doesn't really fit all that well on the portable screen.

Are there any other strategy games with similar "ant farm" automation stuff with 2d graphics that'll run better on the Steam Deck?

melon sandbox is a casual game with free play.

Dwarf Fortress and RimWorld. They both run well on Steam Deck. I think you'll like them because I've been immersed in them for a while since I started playing.
