For fans of Factorio I highly recommend Dyson Sphere Program. Itβs a beautiful factory building game. Itβs been in early access for a while now but can already be played like a finished game. There is a combat system coming but that will be totally optional. The only downside is that itβs far more demanding than Factorio when it comes to CPU, especially in the late stages of the game as your factory grows.
If someone else didn't say it I was gonna recommend DSP. It's galactic scale Factorio in space and 3D. If Factorio automation and interstellar logistics sound fun then get this game.
For late game do e of the hardcore players take ticks per second and such into consideration so there is a sort of meta think to the game with that regard. You can still just slap automation chains together and get the job done tho. I was getting 15 fps at end game with a RTX 3060 lol.
Factorio also has the Space Exploration mod, but that's more if you hate yourself and needed a way to fill thousands of hours
Not gonna lie some of the expansion mods I've seen scare me. I do wanna get back to Factorio if this DSP kick ever finishes though.
It is demanding but the devs seem very dedicated to optimization. I have never read a dev blog post entirely about CPU optimization that sounded so excited about it. For an early access game, it really is super polished.
I haven't tried scaling to super late game production levels, but you can easily finish the non-repeatable techs before noticing any performance hitches.
