I actually prefer Dyson Sphere Program over factorio at this point.
They're addictive, but for good reason and in ways you don't realize until you experience it.
I am particularly interested in strategic videogames, and loved playing these when I was a kid and a young adult (Master of Magic, Master of Orion 2, Civilization, etc).
Factorio seems to be particularly interesting and challenging at the same time.
But Factorio? It is going to consume me. I can tell just by what I have seen and read. I want to do deep thought on real problems not video game things. I could be massively wrong, but I tread lightly around that title.

Factorio's advantage is the blueprints / blueprint strings, which would make it easy to transfer stuff in to the game.
