That is a good question -- not yet! Do you have any recommendations? I don't think I've actually explored the genre otherwise
Well, let's see... There's a couple of others that I'd classify as being huge things like Factorio is, which would be Satisfactory and Dyson Sphere Program. Satisfactory is played in a first person view, not top down, so it's all 3D and stuff (which was novel when it first hit early access, but there are plenty of others in the genre doing that now too). It's really good at making everything easy enough to learn. The pacing is oddly slow at the start though, but that doesnt last too long. Great sense of scale in this one too. You should see some of the wild things players have made, big huge structures and whatnot.
Dyson Sphere is what I'd call the most expansive one. You'll have all these planets and you can build factories on every one of them and that all feeds into the one big goal, and it's just... yeah it's better to have a look at that one for yourself, it's confusing to describe. I havent played this one yet myself, it's on my "buy eventually" list, but everyone seems to just adore it.
Some others... Factory Town is another one I like, pretty traditional in its approach, but you dont have a character that you control or anything, it controls more like a city builder sorta. That's in 3D too, so you can build all sorts of tangled messes.
Shapez is a really good starting point, I think there's a free version of it, it's drastically simpler than most things in the genre but also a lot more freeform and relaxed. The sequel just released into early access very recently, I've not played the sequel myself though.
Mindustry, it's like a sort of... factory game + wave defense sort of thing. So it's emphasizing the "things try to eat you" part.
Lastly, Captain of Industry is more realistic in terms of its theme, so you're going to see like actual construction equipment and things that are (mostly) down to earth. While still having a million tangled bits, because it's not a factory game if you cant make a ridiculous spaghetti mess. This is another one I want to get, but it's the one that also looks the most intimidating.
There's also various games that are sort of like, genre adjacent, if that makes sense. Hydroneer is one I constantly hear about, everyone loves it, I'll get it myself sooner or later, it looks quite good.
