Honestly, Factorio is one of those games I would pay extra to keep going. Kudos to them for making the base game upgrade free.
I played it years ago and it was a lot of fun. Recently I've been playing Workers & Resources which has a similar focus on logistics so it'll be fun to go back to the OG.
I’m still not sure how I feel about the planet stuff though

Warning: this is stupidly time consuming (as in, hundreds of hours just to get to orbit) and you'll need to already be proficient in Factorio to make any headway.
After that, I kind of avoid the game, but if you are a controlled person, I highly recommend it, especially if you are familiar with Kafka or other queues. Setting up the assembly lines is basically the same thing.
