Which games count as survival crafting games?

Games whose Steam players voted "Open World Survival Craft" as one of their defining tags: among the game's five most-voted tags, with at least half as many votes as the top one. A game that merely has a few Open World Survival Craft votes does not count, which keeps the list to games that are survival crafting games, not games with a Open World Survival Craft moment in them.
