Note that while they are both fun and share many features like logistic systems and machines, they are wildly different in approach.

Oxygen Not Included is an inherently unstable system, and it's a frantic race to juggle all the spinning plates while your colony falls more and more apart. The better you get at the game, the further you can stretch it before it succumbs to starvation, disease, lack of air or death by overheating.

Factorio (in regular mode) has a system that it is possible to keep stable at all times, and once you get a handle on the enemies you play the game at your own pace.

You can achieve stability in Oxygen Not Included. It's not even that hard to do so.
Yeah I've watched streamers with stable bases. Old and new.
