This comment is a perfect distillation of why I REALLY want to try this game and also why I avoid it like the plague :P

At the risk of ruining your life... There's a free demo on the Factorio website

How is it limited? Playtime or features?

Features. Small map, limited tech tree.

Most important, unlimited time.

I managed to play the demo for something like 30 minutes, and then uninstall it. Precisely because I want to have a life. I know I would love this game too much.

It's very fun, but I also have to have restrictions on myself while playing it.

It is the fastest I've ever gone with a game from "I love it so much, I can't stop playing it" to "I dream about it all night, and I have to stop, I feel like my brain is not getting rest at night".

This happens to me with every game eventually but with Factorio it happened so fast, I had to stop.

I'm still bummed out about that, and I want to give it another chance, but I can't be dreaming about it. I'll die.

Yep, I own it and have never played a second. I know I'd need a spare 3+ months.
