I see a lot of praise heaped on Factorio but I was underwhelmed when I played it, the game doesn't really capture what makes industrial engineering interesting for me, it seems more like software engineering wearing the face of traditional mech/chem/ind engineering. The way pollution is handled is also kind of insane (red overlay makes nodes mad now use gun kill...) and reflects more of the creator of the game and not any kind of objective reality for engineering.
