I’m looking for recommendations on high quality open source games to try. Some of my favorite games I’ve played recently are Factorio, Kerbal Space Program, and Outer Wilds, but I’m willing to try many kinds of games (besides FPS).

Excluding the two games that were already mentioned, personally I find Zero-K and FreeOrion to be pretty high quality open source games and enjoyed both of them. The first requires steam afaik so there’s quite a limitation and the latter is still far from complete, but it was still enjoyable with a lot of interesting game mechanics when I played it.
Some other FOSS games that I consider high quality but haven’t played quite as much so can’t say for sure, or don’t have strong opinions about:
0AD, OpenRA, OpenTTD, OpenRCT2. Simutrans, Unciv, CorsixTH, UFO:AI, Bitburner
Some other FOSS games that I’ve read about a lot and as far as I know are really popular and considered relatively high quality, but I either haven’t tried them at all or find them (a bit) overrated:
Beyond All Reason, Freeciv, Unitystation / Space Station 14, Hypersomnia, Veloren
You wrote that you’re not looking for FPS games. Note that Hypersomnia is a top-down shooter and Veloren is a third person (over shoulder) action RPG. So if you dislike shooters or if you dislike specific camera locations these might not be for you.
