I wish I liked games like factorio.
I love base building stuff (rimworld is my current obsession, tho I almost like making my heavily modded game function properly more than actually playing it) but automation is just too many moving parts, and too much planing and I can’t bring myself to do any of it right.
If not for that it would probably be entirely my jam. I get downright jealous when I see some of the amazing stuff people do.
The main Factorio dev is pretty publicly a shithead.
Perhaps even worse: Factorio has never gone on sale. They are very strongly against the idea of sales. Which like... Fine, but game value depreciates so you should at least drop the price over time. Not the case- in fact they INCREASED the price from $30 to $35 in 2023. The game came out in 2020. It's now a 5 year old 2D indie game listed at $35. Can I afford that? Yes. Am I going to buy it? No.
