TerraTech tells the story of an Earth contending with an expanding population and environmental damage, full of profit-driven multinational corporations leading the charge to seek out and colonise new planets. You're part of this, as you're an interplanetary prospector out to find new resources to send back to Earth. It's up to you to dominate the planet for your corp, blasting your way through others and pinching whatever blocks are left after each battle to continue building.
Each game is on a procedurally generated planet, so there's always something new to explore. They've supported it really well since release too, with multiple huge updates and plenty of smaller content updates to add in additional types of building blocks and mission. It's become quite a big game overall.
Find TerraTech free until April 21 on Steam. They're also about to release a DLC 'Charity Pack', which includes a few skins and 100% of the revenue will go to the COVID19 Response Fund, coordinated by the World Health Organization (WHO).
