I thought SpaceChem uses the same mechanic as Opus Magnum where the benefit of optimization is just the player’s place on the histogram. I’m looking for more interaction between machines than that.
Comment on Does there exist a factory game or zachlike that's like this?:

Check out SpaceChem, matches most of your bullet points. It’s a level-based puzzle game like Opus Magnum though.

I second this, it’s what OP is asking for. Word of warning though: this game is hard as hell. It reached a point where I’d spend 2 hours on a level, realize I messed up and can’t salvage this, and gave up. I never got really far.

I’ve played it two or three times, each time making it a bit farther. I think I made it about halfway at best.
