I've never tried Factorio, but I found Satisfactory very boring after a few hours. It was initially fun to do some exploring and make some initial manufacturing lines. However, when I realised that to scale up the manufacturing, then I would have to place all these components by hand hundreds of times, it just felt like boring make-work, and I never turned it on again. Maybe I would have continued if there was some way of automating the building, such as some sort of 2D viewer.

Looks like you tried the game a long time ago. There is totally a way to automate building with the Blueprint Designer which basically allows you save blueprints of full buildings (or building parts or whatever you want) and to build them in one click.
