That's exactly why I like Factorio more than, say, prison architect. Where in Factorio you make your items move over conveyor belts, in PA prisoners/guards/etc.

That's exactly why I like Factorio more than, say, prison architect. Where in Factorio you make your items move over conveyor belts, in PA prisoners/guards/etc. move in really stupid ways and you constantly have hallways clogging up on the rightmost tile while otherwise being empty (for example; there are many more aspects that are yolo in PA versus 'exact' in Factorio). Heck, one of the silly parts of Factorio is having to move your miners when the mine runs out. That's kind of "breaking down", though it's also predictable, and even that feels like re-doing work I've already done! It's really not my thing. Seeing your perspective, I'm not sure this is unifiable into a game that both sides would like. I guess we just like different kinds of games.
