Because in video games and computer stuff in general you can always redo perfectly. In reality it's messy.

At least that's what it's like for me.

Because you haven't learned what a 'good' factory looks like yet, so you’re free to explore.

But you’ve spent your whole life looking at great art. Your taste is developed, but your skill hasn't caught up.

Let's track on that every mistake in real life costs real money. Mistakes in factorio are free.

Lol I'm the complete opposite. With pretty much all automation games I'm really trying to do everything perfect; perfect ratios, no bottlenecks, no waste etc. While with something like music, while I like to be perfect I recognize that, depending on the song, it might take a lot of practice

There are a LOT of videogames that I pick up and play for maybe half an hour until I get to some huge complicated system and have to choose whether I want to commit to learning it or not.

Like, I recently played a translation of Racing Lagoon for the PS1 and loved it up until I needed to start upgrading my car. After an hour or two of reading guides and trying to forget everything Gran Turismo taught me I eventually gave up. Maybe I'll try again another day.
