> Are there any games that teach automation like Factorio but that don't have that depressive dystopian magnasanti feel?
And as the opposite question: are there games that give more of that feeling?
I want to feel like I'm playing the human faction in Starship Troopers or on Pandora in Avatar, but in the more factory building sense, where you supply a war machine or the industrial capacity that will inevitably make the local ecosystems and planet perish.
On the more bright and cheerful side, though, Satisfactory is great, Captain of Industry might be worthy of a look (you're literally helping a settlement of humans survive), maybe Mindustry for something a bit simpler or Factory Town. I'd also mention Urbek City Builder and Timberborn as loosely related, albeit they can feel just more like puzzle games.
