Something extremely satisfying about building up some manual thing and then finding a way to automate it with the tools at hand. Plus there are layers to the automation. Then I installed Bobs&Angels mods and they just took the game to a whole other level. Figuring out petrochems was really fun to do.

In some ways it is, but the main difference for me is that things work. It's like only having the good parts of the job :)

Factorio as a game is basically software improvement/maintenance as a game.

It’s all the good dopamine hitting parts of work with none of the BS.
