it is better than the competition but it will never be like Google before 2019 because they’ll never build their own index.

Factorio has the best modding API and user experience out there.

Some mods are not possible due to no native code mods but the devs add things to the modding API for every reasonable request.

You can patch bugs but a buggy game will never be like Factorio. Also, fanmade fixes tend to introduce some wonkyness.

PoE could be very good for you then.

In the campaign you can do basically anything. If you are too weak, you just need to know some very basic mechanics of the game and do some problem solving. I often use three different setups and pick my favourite one.

In the endgame, you can do absolutely crazy stuff, as you can equip all unique items by then. There are viable builds that basically nobody knows about.

One thing you need to know about the game is that you should aim to be able to one shot normal enemies. If you can’t, you need to make adjustments soon.
