This is what I love about it - it's actually hard to do things elegantly.
It has a skill curve where playing at a high level is something you learn over a long period of time. It gives it immense replayability to delight in the opportunity to build something slightly more robust or scalable.
If you derive enjoyment from the learning part and set your expectations appropriately (so you don't feel frustrated expecting more from yourself than your skill level), it becomes really addicting.
PS: https://factorioprints.com/ is a great inspiration if you just don't have time to figure out things yourself.
