I've found that it engages the same parts of my brain as writing software, and I only have a limited amount of time each day that I'm able to focus on either activity. So to some degree it is self-balancing, but it's also possible to lose 4-6 hours while playing it if you get in the zone.
- hombre_fatal 6y agoThis is why I could never get into it nor Zachtronics games. Just feels like work.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 6y agoHonestly I think Zachtronics games are much better for this because they have discrete levels. You have many places you can just stop, and each level has a pretty solid definition of "optimal" (for whichever metric you're optimizing for), so you can actually be done with it. Factorio presents a significantly more complex problem at a vastly increased scale.
