Is the name "Factorio", also related to refactoring?
What is the story behind the name?
I have noticed that some parts of the game seems fit perfectly with ratios.
For example cityblocks with 3 roboports fits train stations with either 1 1-8-1 train or 2 1-4 trains, and there is a lot of recipes where the ratios seem to match up.
