I love when a game unlocks a new genre that further refines and perfects the formula... Dark Souls, Factorio, etc.

Well, to be technical, it says in the Factorio about page that it's heavily inspired by a Minecraft mod called Buildcraft, so you could trace the genre back to there.

That's super cool, I never knew this but I always thought that it was very similar to Buildcraft.

Buildcraft is a Minecraft mod that is completely different from the vanilla game. Saying Factorio can be traced back to Infiniminer is a stretch.
