games like factorio, satisfactory, dsp etc are a constantly evolving puzzle that the player accidentally designs for themself.

That reminds me of Automachef, which is a divergent take on the automation genre. I played it a bunch a while ago and thought it was pretty good. Automachef is an automation game that obviously takes cues from Factorio, but it's structured like a traditional puzzle game. It has discreet levels with their own goals and challenges, rather than an expansive open world where you keep on expanding and streamlining the same machine. In Automachef, you get a set of goals to meet each level, build a machine to try and fill those goals, and then set it to run. If the goals called for by the level are met, it doesn't matter if the machine is teetering at the brink of obvious failure by the end. You achieved the goal and can move on to the next level, where it's a clean slate again. In a way it's a mix of Factorio and The Incredible Machine.

if u like that theres also big pharma, which is the same idea but with drug manufacturing
