The best way to describe Factorio is with a metaphor...
I've played Dyson Sphere Program and other "expand the factory" games. Not bad games, but they have shortcomings - these are ibuprofen: nice, but not that exciting of a drug.
But oh boy...
I now have the pure stuff. Factorio is Walter White's Pure 110% purity crack.
Learning/experiencing the care (and effective application of experience) the developers have is fantastic. Everything runs PERFECT. Sharing designs is PERFECT. Mod integration is PERFECT. Everything is GORGEOUS.
Fair and honest price - consistently.

If you are reading this debating whether to buy Factorio or not: The fact that you are looking at "expand the factory" games at all is enough for me to tell you that you have GOTTA get building engineer!
