> But I've reached an age where I'm pretty sure that once I finish the rocket and escape the planet (that's what seems to be the main goal) I'll never play it again.

It'll still probably take you a good 40+ hours to do that. Which is fantastic entertainment value for $30.

Looking at the steam global achievements, 16.1% of people have finished the game at all (mid-game achievements are sitting around ~40-50%). There's then 2 other achievements - finish the game in under 15 hours, and finish the game in under 8 hours. Only 2.1% and 1.6% have those achievements, respectively.

I'm also a "finish the game & put it down forever" type of person, but I've come back to Factorio multiple times. Helped tremendously by the map generator settings letting you basically "skip" parts of the game you don't like, or double-down on ones you do like. Enjoyed the trains? Make the ore patches more spread out, but larger so that your train installs are both more necessary and are more permanent. Enjoy being forced to improvise base layouts? Ramp up the cliff generator. Hate cliffs? Disable them. Feeling stressed from the external pressure that enemies provide? Disable them. Etc...
