I didn't want to bring satisfactory up myself but I completely agree with everything you've said. You're right that factorio leans into the spreadsheet-esque aspect of the game, and it uses that to it's advantage both from a gameplay and a technical perspective. Making satisfactory a 2d game wouldn't give you the same experience as factorio!

Where Satisfactory really shines is its 3d building tools. It makes building fun and easy and precise, and then you get to jump and climb and ride around on the stuff you built. It's very satisfying. That's hard stuff to get as right as they did.
I found the building controls _slightly_ clunky, (but I don't think I could improve on them hugely). I actually felt what you said in your original post was what really draws me to it; I genuinely felt like I didn't want to ruin the planet!
