Ah, Factoriolikes, as I call them usually

Factorio is exemplary, but hardly genre creating. They're just base building games.

If anything has defined the genre for the modern generation it's Dwarf Fortress.

And DF has over 20 years of active development. Nothing can compare to it.

Dwarf fortress is genre defining, but it's a different genre, colony simulation.

Factorio pretty much single handedly inspired the entire genre of automated factory games. Most of the others explicitly cite Factorio as inspiration or have clear influences from it.

Some credit to be given to the Minecraft redstone mod, of course.
