Within the game, Factorio has basic logic circuits that have ladder logic qualities. The circuits only have a few primitives: constants, comparators, and basic math. You don't ever have to use circuits to complete the base game, and most use cases can be solved with only a few circuits. But of course people have used them to write full graphics pipelines like any programmable game system.

Outside the game, Factorio also has full support for mods written in LUA. I am not a modder, so I can't comment on its relative power versus other mod systems, but Factorio has a handful of overhaul mods that change the entire game.
Since its moddable, people have created mods that allow you to write LUA logic for the circuits instead of the basic math operations/comparators.
