Concur on all points honestly. I will also add that Factorio's setting is pretty bleak, and the game is a bit too addictive to me. It's also harder to just botch things which, because I am trying to have fun and not work, is pretty laborious. In satisfactory if I messed up some spacing of belts or machines or whatever, I can just clip it, go up and over, just generally make a visual mess that works.
Not entirely sure why Factorio is more addictive. Shorter action loops, but often queing and waiting for things to happen might jiggle the brain in a more addictive way. It's not a positive feeling situation either, more like you get trapped having to do more stuff over and over again.
