I've also played Factorio extensively. The two games are very different, even when played with similar playstyles or goals. Don't worry, I did the whole "build a factory as efficiently as possible" thing back in the 0.17 era.
Though realistically if you think about it Stardew Valley (and other Harvest Moon-type games) themselves are about min-maxing, where you do X to get used to how X is annoying so you can get Y so you don't have to do X anymore.
