I've heard Inifnifactory is like Factorio lite

You know what's funny? I'm a programmer and I think the same of XCOM 2. It's a game where everything's always on fire, everything always goes wrong for you to fix, and there's never enough time to sit back and relax. It was a game about grit and perserverance against overwhelming odds... and it felt exactly like my most previous job as as a Senior SE at a small startup.

No fucking thank you.

With factorio you can automate defenses and concentrate on building.
And here I am playing Satisfactory and wishing the fauna would attack my base :/
I wish there were a wider variety of fauna. I imagine if they made them as a moddable component you'd see the mod community add a bunch.

It's actually one of the aspects of Don't Starve that I love. Practically everything in the game is some sprites, sounds, and Lua. That makes it fairly easy to extend the game.

Satisfactory is early access, though I have no clue how close to finished they are. (Though, from what I have played -- just got up into Tier 4 -- it feels really complete)
