Rimworld the game that I have over 500 hours and still dont know how to play it but I love it. I heard that the minimum amount of hours to get the game is about 1000 (/s).

I am with you. On my first try I died early on and then I hit YouTube for a couple of lets plays. If you are interested, they are Big Brain Energy and Francis John
I am currently playing my first save on vanilla with a few QoL mods but looking at the mods list there is a lot more amazing content to be had. I think I am going to enjoy this game for sometime.
Thank you very much for such a detailed list. I had a look through all of them and X series is something that I am very fond of.
However, I have added Transcendence and Nebulous Fleet Command on my next to play list.
I'm with you, I got a lot of hours in it but still come back every few months for a new map.
But although I've done mega bases, deathworld, Bobs and Space Exploration, I don't want to do them again even though I thoroughly enjoyed them.
My love is the early game and up to launching a rocket. Anyone with me on this?
Saw couple of friends playing it and thought to give it a try... But oh boy... 45 hours in less than 2 weeks.
Send someone can say that I'm enjoying it.
Factorio without bitters. The music of desolance, alone on the planet trying to get efficient so you can leave and go home. I don't know why it is so relaxing, but it is... just having time to plan and build exactly what you had in mind is bliss.
On the other hand if you want some adrenaline, play bitters in deathworld.
As someone who still does LAN weekends with a few friends a couple of times a year, this is a hard one especially if you have 6+ players, however here are my suggestions.
Supreme Commander using the FAF Client - huge scale RTS with up to 16 people in a single map (8v8).
Left4Dead Versus - 8 people go 4v4 so two teams in your case. Dedicated server recommend.
Unreal Tournament 2005/3 - lots of games modes and supports a lot of people but you may need a dedicated server.
Gary's Mod PropHunt, Bomberman etc - Great sandbox game - can be a bit junky to setup up but excellent if you get it right
Blur - racing game which may be hard to find as it is not being sold anywhere but an excellent multiplayer one
Factorio - way slower pace than any games mentioned, but if you play Deathworld is an adrenaline rush and fun coop. Up to 500 people so 15-16 people is no sweat. Also good for long term goals for continuing play.
Human Fall Flat - funny physics puzzle game up to 4 people. Great for competition as you can make it 4 teams of 4 and have a leaderboard.
Planetside 2 - FPSMMO - epic battles and still very active
That's a lot of typing already - let me know if you want more suggestions - happy gaming
Not on my PC but I will update later.
Thank you this is the kind of thing that I was after.
That's an amazing jump and congratulations on doing it.
Ditched Windows late last year and jump to Linux as my main driver. I've had Linux servers for years but it is completely different when it's your main driver.
I mainly play games and from the over 100 games that I tried to play only 2 had issues and I was unable to get them working (BattleField 4 and FaF Forever).
Honestly Wine and subsequently Proton is the true game changer when it comes to games BUT I'm on an all AMD hardware and had 0 issues with driver stability, however a friend of mine on an Intel/nVidia has had a couple of issues which were eventually resolved but took a bit of wait for fixes and updates.
