(Aside: I also prefer Satisfactory to Factorio but it’s because it’s 1st person. I hate top-down view because alignment and legibility are almost always awful on top-down.)

I won’t give examples because you are asking for examples that are contrary to the limitations of reality. You asked for an open world example when the only way to get something of that scale is to have big teams to crank out all those assets. You asked essentially for an example of a non-AAA AAA game. It’s self negation.

But, at this point, I’m walking away from this. If you are still simultaneously demanding examples of a thing that cannot exist, to peg a scale that cannot exist, in pursuit of objectivity that cannot exist, you are clearly too deeply buried to reach without lots of shovel time. I don’t know you enough to care enough to fight past your hypocritical ideology.

Happy gaming.
