Factorio is like programming. But without management or customers messing anything up. You are in full control of the whole project and have fairly clear requirements. That makes it a lot more enjoyable.

Plus, it has trains :-)

Which will run over the programmer.

To be fair, trains will run over bugs, too!

Sounds like you could get the same thing by writing a real software project to scratch some itch you have. Sure, other users might come eventually and, but you can just ignore those and keep building what you like.

Yeah but Factorio lets me nuke space bugs.

That... is actually an argument that can't be refuted. Happy hunting! :)
