Factorio the game as an epitome of orange ideals and the future of its trajectory

1 post in this topic

It is a game where you start out in the wilderness from scratch, extract raw resources and build an automated production chain with maximum efficiency and optimization. Every product and every building and their layout is up to the player to plan and set up. The idea of this game attracts orange people because they can create out of the barren, crude world the material kingdom with the power of their intellect. I actually found many people who express orange thinking have high interest in this game and find it revolutionary. 

But what turns away people above orange from this game is its lack of humanistic element. You build and optimize things cleverly to produce lots of items which will in turn serve to produce next tier items, which ultimately only amounts to shooting rockets into the sky and nothing more. There is production for the sake of production. When I had grasped how this game works I thought it could add people who have their own needs to be met and take part in the production. There are already lots of town building management games like banished, etc but no one gets close to the complexity and autonomy of this game. I see the kind of game for people fascinated by this game to evolve spirally in their gaming experience is something like soviet republic workers and resources where production chain and technology is quite complex and there's every citizen simulated with their place of jobs and needs. And perhaps much later, games could add to all these elements personal aspirations of each simulated npcs and their actualization with complex interaction between the societal structure, and complex simulation of ecosystem.
