A very similar game called Dyson Sphere Program came out in the last week, I've been having a great time with it! Basically Factorio with planets and solar systems you can fly to. Early access but tons of content.

Dyson Sphere Program looks interesting.

There's also Satisfactory, which is a 3d first-person-perspective factory builder.

DSP is quite good. I think it's worth the ~$20 currently. Definitely a few QOL rough edges and some balance issues still, but certainly playable and haven't seen any critical bugs or crashes.

I think building systems in DSP feels a lot more like Satisfactory, but it's much easier to get a good view of whats going on. Loved Satisfactory but found FPS perspective frustrating frequently.

I just heard about this game earlier today! It's looked super cool from what I've seen, I might have to get it soon...

Great game. For me, it scratches all the right factorio itches and adds some Sci-Fi and Space(TM).
