Exactly my experience. I feel like I'm doing DevOps automation when playing Factorio.
Since I get paid hourly for my normal work .... I started wondering, "Wait, why am I not just working right now? Same thing except I get paid......"
It should be called something like "Jenkins: The Game".
I actually had a similar experience with Space Chem. It was fun until I realized I was playing "Procedural Spaghetti Code: The Game."
I wish there was a "Functional Programming: The Game"

If you need a side project, prototyping "Functional Programming: The Game" sounds like a pretty good one.
Factorio for me is too much like work, except I think it's a fine game, I just already often spend my day making systems to put things on queues and take them off queues, trying to keep the queues from getting full or empty...
