On the other hand, exploring in Factorio can be fun as well. I've often ended up spending lots of time wandering around looking for cool terrain features whilst wiping out biters.

Exploring a fine field of nuclear artillery craters gets a bit stale after a while. I bet it was nice before the bugs and bombs.
That is why I sometimes draw a cock and balls on the ground with nuclear weapons.
Allow me to introduce you to Satisfactory
Exploring Satisfactory's map has given me many more moments of wonder than in Factorio, even though I much prefer the latter's gameplay. Definitely a strong suit of handcrafted vs procedural. It's just a shame that Satisfactory's gameplay somewhat incentivizes you to wait until you have trivialized the exploration, through Zipline+hover pack+radar.
A pale imitation. E-cigs compared to Factorio's crack cocaine.
