Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Factorio teaches programming?
I’m a professional programmer and factorio scratches the same itch as designing systems.
It teaches you about constraints, modular design, pub sub architectures, input output flow, etc.
Not really. It will feel like programming if you already know how to program, but I don't think it will teach you programming anymore than any other problem solving activity.
You can learn to create logic circuits in order to aid automation
