I would go as far as to argue that Factorio is my Animal Crossing. For your average, casual player, Animal Crossing provides rote tasks that engages you with the game world without the added complexity. Factorio, SdV, and AC all ultimately provide 'relaxation.'

I love AC, but I have other itches that need scratches.

Factorio made me super stressed out when I was playing it. One of the reasons I quit.

Was it the biters, or just the general gameplay loop? There is a peaceful mode that has no biters.

Mostly the biters, but also I got to a point where I was getting frustrated with the spaghetti I was creating.
