Axis by axis

Execution2 vs 1

Factorio leans harder on execution: Some APM in early hand-crafting; otherwise irrelevant.

Reads0 vs 0

Even - both lean on reads about the same.

Variance1 vs 2

Stationeers leans harder on variance: Planet conditions known, failures come from your systems

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.
