NOTE: Someone probably has developed it, but I’m too poor to buy a decent computer.

I’ve been wanting the shittiest, most grindy military logistics game possible for a bit now. Like, “oh you didn’t upgrade your Sock factory? Fuck you now your platoon has trench foot” type Grindy.

I want to feel pain

Rimworld is probably the closest thing to that right now. Watch your village starve as their clothes wear out and they get frostbite.

Or dwarf fortress if you want to get medieval

Funny thing, I’m actually playing rimworld right now!

Have you tried dwarf fortress?

Oh, you lost your leg to an elephant ? Here's a crutch, go learn how to use it.

Not really military logistics, but you might check out Captain of Industry. Everything sort of depends on everything else. You need food for your workers. But you need building parts to make farms. So you need bricks, iron, wood, and concrete. Each of these has a building and process associated with it. You need trucks to move materials. You need excavators. So you also need factories making vehicle parts, and maintainence parts. And all of these machines and processes make a waste product you have to deal with.

Try some hex and counter war games.

Foxhole is a good game but probably not as grindy as you are looking for.
