        Factorio was inspired by Minecraft mods BuildCraft and IndustrialCraft, but yeah, few games have done what Factorio has, and those that have tried never quite reached it’s level. Sure, there are games that feature automation with complex recipes (Satisfactory, Dyson Sphere Program, Shapez), but only Factorio actually managed to pull off a sense of exponential scale.

          Yeah, I’m aware of the Minecraft mods, but I wouldn’t have called the ideas established before Factorio came along. As for Satisfactory et al, they were inspired by Factorio itself, so obviously don’t count.
