Please no. Someone tell me it's just an unconfirmed rumor. Why would they do such a thing? I am at very high risk for Factorio addiction, and the only reason I haven't played it yet is because I don't play PC games anymore. But I do have a Switch, and having Civ VI on there was enough of a problem, thank you very much. Goodbye everyone!
Its time for some Zachtronics game to make the migration. If Factorio can happen, then I would think the Zachtronics games can do it too (performance wise).
SpaceChem used to be on iOS - was nice to play on the iPad, but the maintenance effort was apparently too much to keep it on there and running. Zachtronics stopping game production is a painful loss.
But the iOS store is much harder to just “fire and forget” on.

Immunization works by exposing someone to a small dose that they can train on. Why don't you try just building a little factory and then stop? /s
There was a funny but insightful take about how Factorio is about a colonizing force going to a planet and taking all of it's natural resources while suppressing all the native inhabitants and how the player identifies with this evil entity as if a good thing.

May I also suggested City Skylines on the switch? It has a great addiction management feature called high RAM usage, so when your city reaches 200k citizens the game will force close repeatedly on you.
I've tried Skylines a few times, but it always just devolves into traffic simulation, and I hate traffic. Last go I tried to set up a subway system, but lines can't even cross each other and I gave up. They should really call the game "American Suburb Skylines".
I feel that games like Factorio, Dyson, Kerbal... are perfect games for when I retire. No time pressure, nothing to do, really, just this, the whole day. Till then, I must look at these games, marvel at them, but resist the temptation to play.

This is spot on. I’ve got some 50+ hours in C:S and it always degenerates into traffic management grind. Every time I come back to it I have another dig through the menus, thinking I must be missing something, but there’s no “car-free city” option. As far as I understand, the new Plazas & Promenades DLC does not actually address this either. Am I missing something? Why does the end-game always have to be traffic? See…
Tangentially related but you can buy the game directly from the website, DRM-free which is the route I'd like to go buying this game. The only thing is that the supported macOS platforms are "macOS Mojave, High Sierra, Sierra; MacOS X El Capitan, Yosemite". Is anyone here playing the game on Catalina or Ventura?

You can avoid having to spend too much time on managing traffic if you follow some "design patterns", there is a bunch of them, so Google is probably your best friend.
Although, there is a good comment on reddit that gives a quick overview, with links to more in-depth material, that might be a good starting point for you: https://old.reddit.com/r/CitiesSkylines/comments/m57lq8/how_...
