Factorio

If you have ever found coding to be fun, you will love this game. This is a puzzle game where the main obstacle is the parts of the factory you made hours ago getting in the way of your new progress… very analogous to programming. The dynamics of how each building fit together allows for the perfect balance of creativity and optimization. All other factory games should use this as a reference for factory building mechanics and complexity.

Shapez is Factorio boiled down to only pure abstract puzzle solving. Satisfactory is Factorio with added exploration and decoration to make a more generically appealing experience. Mindustry is Factorio with a heavy focus on deep combat and RTS mechanics. If you liked any of these games, I recommend playing Factorio.
