Axis by axis
Execution2 vs 2
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance1 vs 0
Factorio leans harder on variance: Resource patch placement adds minor map randomness.
Optimization10 vs 9
Factorio leans harder on optimization: Throughput, ratios, and logistics are the entire game.
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
