I love base building stuff (rimworld is my current obsession, tho I almost like making my heavily modded game function properly more than actually playing it) but automation is just too many moving parts, and too much planing and I can’t bring myself to do any of it right.
If not for that it would probably be entirely my jam. I get downright jealous when I see some of the amazing stuff people do.
That’s the beauty of it. You hate stuff but you can automate it away. You have a shortage but with more automation you can scale up 2x or 4x. You have logistic issues but you can use bots and when bots don’t cover it you can use rails.
I wish I liked games like factorio.

I’m the opposite. Love automation (literally a programmer by trade lol), hate hate hate base building.
