As Cities Skylines II still isn't worth it (the sub has a regular thread about that, in summary: no it's not: https://old.reddit.com/r/CitiesSkylines/comments/1ch6lup/is_cities_skylines_ii_worth_it_megathread/) which games scratch your city building itch?

    I just found out last week factorio is on a system that I own. Turns out there was a major addiction missing in my life.

    As a programmer, I knew I would enjoy it. What I didn't realise was that in just a week it would literally make me better at my job.

    I'm playing the game, and solving problems for work, I'm working, and solving problems in the game, in a huge feedback loop.

    Can a video game make you better person? I'm not sure, but if they can, this and Kerbal Space Program are the ones to do it.
