Dyson Sphere ProgramvsFactorio
Dyson Sphere Program leans Optimization (Pure Optimization); Factorio leans Optimization (Pure Optimization).
Dyson Sphere ProgramFactorio
Axis by axis
Execution1 vs 2
Factorio leans harder on execution: Some APM in early hand-crafting; otherwise irrelevant.
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance2 vs 1
Dyson Sphere Program leans harder on variance: Star system layouts vary per seed but are fully mappable
Optimization10 vs 10
Even - both lean on optimization about the same.
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
