I sometimes feel that Factorio in the mid- and late game is quite a chore. Almost like work to get that yellow science going. Calculating all those ratios, connecting countless types of inputs, fending of the critters. I quite like the supply challenges but find in comparison to the Zachtronics Industries games (e.g. Space Chem) that not seeing competitive stats and being able to tinker/optimize is a missed opportunity.
