Factorio is like programming. But without management or customers messing anything up. You are in full control of the whole project and have fairly clear requirements. That makes it a lot more enjoyable.

Plus, it has trains :-)

To be fair, trains will run over bugs, too!

Sounds like you could get the same thing by writing a real software project to scratch some itch you have. Sure, other users might come eventually and, but you can just ignore those and keep building what you like.

That... is actually an argument that can't be refuted. Happy hunting! :)
