> I’ve been thinking about this while playing Factorio: so much of our discussion and mental modeling of automation works under the assumption of perfect reliability. If you had SLIGHTLY below 100% reliability in Factorio, the game would be a terrible grind limited to small factories. So I'm making a guess here that you play with few monsters or non-aggressive monsters? |

Aggressively building turret walls, defensive train lines, and so on very quickly pays dividends here. Particularly if you claim as much territory as you can each time you expand instead of simply defending what you've built out.
If done this way building/improving defenses and managing enemies becomes a task you maintain every so often and doesn't spill over into the reliability of your base.
