According to Steam, I’m at 2.29¢ per hour. Even if it’s only half of that – quite a few of those 3,700 hours were spent paused, playing a bit here and there throughout the day – that’s a phenomenal value.
This is almost my boyfriend’s hours and reasoning (he hit 4k and I side eyed a bit), but he said a lot was load time - he plays with over 400 mods, I usually barely push 150, and that sometimes it was just easier to leave it on than shut down and restart it, and that he’d leave his laptop running in the background while he was at work 😆. Thankfully load isn’t as bad as it was a few years ago, but with that many mods it can still take a bit for him to get in
I’m pretty sure a fair chunk of mine were from when I was making mods back around 1.0 and just testing
For me, I do eventually get tired of it. But then a new dlc comes out and I make a new colony or two to experience the new stuff. And I have spent 100+ hours on colonies before.
It can really suck you in for sure. You may want to avoid it if you experience video game addiction. But, on the other hand, it has given me something to actually look forward to. Shrug
They have an overlapping fan base, but they’re distinctly different games. I prefer RimWorld, personally, but I have put many hours into Factorio, as well.
I don’t know if a $35 game would count for this, but RimWorld has absorbed vast amounts of my life, and it is a very good game.
It has consumed thousands of hours of my life.
I’ve done the math a few times and it currently has cost me about 8 cents per hour played including all dlc

Isn’t RimWorld one of those games that is like heroin? I’m too scared to try it

It’s more the gateway drug into factorio i think. Never played any of these but that’s what i’ve heard.
Naw, Rimworld is like Dwarf Fortress, nothing like Factorio
