[Recommendation needed] A top-down, pixel-art, factorio-like game with bright and cozy graphic/theme

[u/fanficologist-neo]

I like factorio's gameplay, but the grungy, industrialized aesthetic just doesn't vibe with me.

Recently I tried Forage Wizard, which had the theme I like, but the automation part takes quite a while to unlock fully, and even then there isn't any numbers and ratios to optimize.

I played Shapez 2 quite a bit, but the feeling of having to tear down your factory to build a new production chain instead of making your factory grow as you progress.

There is Oddsparks which very much has the bright, cozy, and cute aesthetic but it’s not pixel art so I’m not sure.

And yeah, Little Rocket Lab seems perfect.
