While I get some of this sentiment, wont some sort of social deduction game like 'Throne of Lies' be better at identifying potentially good team members?.

  I'm not familiar with that game, but the point of using Factorio is it is a game where you have to build complex systems and maintain them, which has many parallels with real-world software engineering. "Throne of Lies" doesn't look like that kind of game.

    Throne of lies and social deduction games like them are about finding out peoples real intentions from what they say and do, also aspects like using and understanding subtle signalling to collaborate with ones team.

      In my software engineering work I do a lot more “writing documentation to be as clear as possible” than “social deduction and subtle signalling” ^^;;

        In fact i would hate to work at a place where you have to do social deduction
