I guess "base building" has a couple of interpretations. That sort of free-form settlement making (as well as the kind in RTS games) is less fun for me. I specifically enjoy the slow and steady increase of capacity and the eventual total maximizing of everything. Its why I used to also get super into tower defense and things like Cookie Clicker.

You might actually like Factorio, then. It is definitely more on the RTS side of base building in terms of how free-form it is, but everything boils down to gradually increasing and optimizing your production in a manner not entirely unlike idle games (but with more actual gameplay involved), generally without the kind of time pressure you see in RTS games (unless you deliberately make the enemies more threatening). If you prefer a less sandboxy experience, then it might not be for you, but I personally feel it's one of the best examples of the genre I've ever played (and one of my favourite games ever, full stop), so I try to recommend it whenever it seems like it might be appropriate to do so.
