There is also Dyson Sphere Program with similar reviews.

I found that it didn't scale as much as Factorio. I'm the type with over 3K hours in the game, who likes to build absurdly massive bases.

I like Satisfactory mostly because you get to enjoy the native flora and fauna without it constantly trying to kill you.

More than just the native flora and fauna, Satisfactory dumps you in an area that's largely pleasant to be in. Factorio has a very desaturated, green-and-brown "videogame" look, and it's not all that pleasant to look at after a while.

Thank you for yet another reminder that it sucks to be a mac user :-)

A "mac user" isn't who you are as a person. It's who you're being in a moment of time. If you want to play PC games, buy a machine that handles playing them and use it for those instances. In this case, it looks like they only released Satisfactory on Windows, with mostly good results playing on Linux using Proton.

Factorio seems to run on macOS and SteamOS + Linux.

Streaming clients like GeForce Now have come a long way if you want to play games as a Mac user. It's what I use to play Satisfactory and it works really well in my opinion.
