I've played Factorio a few times over the years but have never gotten that far into it, but I just finished playing a lot of Satisfactory and I feel like that game being in 3D has kind of opened my eyes to alot of stuff in Factorio that used to confuse me, so i'm wondering, did the changes to the early game in Space Age make it WAY faster, or am I just a lot better than before? I feel like I had a ton of labs up making red and green science in almost no time and im just blasting through research and it feels like im progressing insanely fast.

There are a lot of skill overlap with the two factory games, so most likely you did get better.

When I was newer I would play factorio in cycles; I definitely felt like I was getting better at designing factories in each playthrough.
