Factorio is a game about building factories and surviving with ever-increasing automation. Artificer gives a similar setup of needing to survive on a strange world.

However, the researching and crafting revolves around magical spells and devices rather than machines and factories. Players will be tasked with researching the local flora and fauna in hopes of finding excellent new spells through experimentation.

If that sounds like the kind of gameplay you gravitate toward, then check out the Artificer Kickstarter campaign for more information. The game requires $5,000 in funding and Steam copies start at the $10 tier.
