Py is as hardcore as it gets, and a lot of even experienced players don't pick it up for that reason. That being said, the Factorio crowd I rub shoulders with 1500 hours is not a lot. Heck, i myself am about 4-5k hours of gameplay and mine are rookie numbers :D Factorio allows for an extremely wide ways to play it, multiplayer is it's own world entirely if you find a decent crew to play with (there are many communities around Factorio). And then there's Clusterio that opens a whole new dimension of what's possible.
