That sounds like the concept of Factorio: the abstraction level we play at rises with time. Most of the achievements are about skipping manual labor at various points in time.

Did Factorio have blueprints? That seemed like one of the greatest advances in Dyson Sphere Program, when you could lay down a whole factory unit at once; emphasised the move to greater levels of abstraction.

Mind you, I'd have liked a lite version that reduced the tech tree by maybe a third but still enabled you to get all the advancements without devoting your whole life to it ;o)

Factorio is unplayable without blueprints. It's such an integral part of the game that it's like asking if Quake has guns.

Factorio had blueprints wayyyyy before DSP.

Not only that (and I can't tell if that's what you meant originally), but Factorio had blueprints _before Dyson Space Program came out_.
