Thinking about games along a single axis (2D vs. 3D) is a weird way to measure value.

You should compare Factorio with other sandbox/simulation games with procedural generation, deep systems, complex logistics, and large modding communities. Examples that come to mind are Rimworld and Dwarf Fortress, which have similar price tags.
