Dyson Sphere Program is like Factorio if it were very optimistic about the concept of space exploration. It’s quite possibly my favorite factory game. Appealing art style, layers upon layers, better paced progression than any other, no combat/etc, and works the theme for purpose

It’s also, interestingly, a Chinese cultural product and very obviously so if you’ve run into Chinese sci-fi before. It’s the first one I’ve really, really enjoyed, even with maybe B+ quality localization into English.

There’s also a real sense of scale. You start trudging around the world in a mech. Upgrades improve your run speed. Eventually you can fly and start harvesting resources from other continents. Then you get space exploration and mine out your solar system, at first haltingly.
