I think you've hit an important point. Factorio is the widely acclaimed game it is, because it balances "work" with tools that don't make it tedious. Little things like shortcuts to "take half from a box", and "copy factory settings", to bigger things like introducing bots just as things get complex to manage on a big scale. Everything else in the game has been done before, and will be done again. The key is getting the above right to make the game enjoyable.
