City skylines would be the best place to live, and would have a natural friendship with factorio.

It would be a bit weird making a bowl of cereal and having a freight train blast up to your house at 200mph, a robot flies out of the depot just past the dog park, skims above the pedestrian walkways at just under the speed of sound, unloads the single stack of of cereal boxes that the train is carrying and sticks it in your pantry before they both vanish just as fast. You only had a half a box of raisin bran left and you hit the resupply threshold.

Guess I need to finally play Factorio.

I would recommend it. It can take a minute your first time through to get to some of the intense optimization stuff, but a lot of it's there really early.
The dominant gameplay loop by far is "you have tools. There's a new problem to solve with those tools that's hard/tedious. Solving it means you can make tools that make the problem easier. Goto step one".
