What games have the best mining/smelting/forging components?
I love these mechanics. Manually controlling a player character to run around a world doing these things is great for immersion.
I've already played Skyrim and My Time at Portia.

Factorio, although it's more about automating those things. Satisfactory or Dyson Sphere Program, which are 3d versions of the same concept.
If you want more of a creating bench style, there's a whole crop of games under the "open world survival craft" genre such as valheim, raft, rust, project zomboid, green hell, and so on.
+1 for satisfactory, and the 3000 hours I have logged in it.
Ah, so you are approaching mid game.
