"the three-dimensionality is what I miss. As good as it is, Factorio is so disappointingly planar"

For me it's exactly the opposite. I very, very rarely enjoy a 3D game. Factorio's 2D world is a huge plus for me.

I'm definitely an outlier in this opinion, but for me the games industry took a seriously wrong turn in its embrace of 3D games, and I really appreciate it when I can find a solid 2D game like Factorio.
