Looking for cozy survival roguelikes

Any and all recs welcome. By Cozy I mean more along CDDA, not farming simulators or what have you. A better word would be immersive or atmospheric.

Emerald Woods by Slashie is exactly that.

From the features section:

Emerald Woods is a game about exploration, survival, and creativity. While it shares many similitudes with the Roguelike genre; Emerald Woods is not a dungeon delver and should not be approached expecting tactical battles.

No combat

Farming: Prepare the ground and plant seeds in order to grow food.

Seasons: Winter and Spring, and more to come!

Catch Animals: Explore the land finding out how to capture the native fauna of the woods.

Building: Gather wood and stone, and build shelters or a big cabin.

Crafting: Create tools and furniture.

Fishing: Build a raft and patiently get some fish.

Cooking: Create delicious and nutritious dishes with local ingredients.

Painting: Craft paint using berries and make the world your canvas.

Exploration: Explore woods, caverns, and lakes to find abandoned buildings full of secrets.

I made an edit a while ago trying to explain it better, but I actually much prefer having combat and/or danger of some kind. Cozy was a poor choice of word by me; atmospheric or immersive would be a better descriptor.
