I have the Tetris effect happening when I'm away from Factorio
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetris_effect

You know you play factorio too much when you say just five more minutes, and when you finally stop, you're in a nuclear winter, where WW3 actually happened, and everybody else in the world is dead.

That's just your roommate watching Jericho. Keep playing.

ATM when I dream about playing a video game there's about a 50% chance that there'll be some Factorio like element inside of it (usually the belts).

Why won't he move when I press WASD? Oh, I remember now, I'm not playing Factorio, just watching a bad movie.

Sometimes when I'm getting food out of the fridge and putting it in the microwave my first thought is to use an inserter

when you wonder why you can't zoom out on a paper map to see the biter nests.

When Steam gives you overflow errors when trying to display "Time Played".

Of course, that's assuming there is such a thing as playing too much Factorio. Which there isn't.

When you get lost in the forest and you reach for your cluster grenades

[seriously, when I am doing combat and I get stuck with 50 behemoths running after me I sometimes just throw a cluster grenade on myself to get rid of whatever I was stuck against...)

When you install a mod which makes using your toaster more complicated.

I like that one!

When you think about making a program to automatically reply with a smart comment to necros, but decide not to because that is time that could be better spent playing Factorio.

When you, instead of using cool drones to transport your stuff around, stick to conveyer belts for the physical appearance.

When you are browsing mods to find the best ones for a super modded gameplay
When you complain to the ISP that you can't host a factorio server
When you ask your friends to buy factorio so you can play multiplayer with them

When you set up turrets in your home to stop flies from destroying your stuff

My block has a maple bug infestation and I thought about folding up some laser turrets to scale using colored paper...

...in the hopes of scaring them off?

when your work calls to remind you its monday morning already and you need to be at the office

... when you look at some cosmetic product and find ways to imagine making all the ingredients using Angel's Petrochem...
(those chemical ingredients are not actually that complex when you read them on the packaging... it is just short word descriptions stuck together to make a larger incredient)

....when you just realize it's 5 am and still keep going anyway.
(basically me the first 2 weeks I started playing Factorio)
