Re: You know you play Factorio too much when...
I don’t know how it happened, but I don’t have a great dependence on games, I spend strictly dosed time in games every day (no more than 2 hours), and on some days I don’t even feel like playing games. Maybe I have some other attitude to games formed or subconsciously have a need for productive time.

When you press Q to clear your cursor but instead drop your pickaxe/scream and summon zombies/etc.

You find yourself half-awake in bed trying to plan the software changes for when your employer adopts quality modules.

You know you've played too much when you start looking at everyday tasks and thinking about how to automate them. Or when "the factory must grow" starts sounding like a real life goal.
