% of difficulty / score factor / They are Billions

Hi There,
As a competitive gamer, I would like to be able to simply stack myself up against another player. I found that They are Billions implemented this the best for a real-time strategy game like Factorio. They use a system of "score factor" where the more challenging you make the game (using sliders like Factorio) the larger the "score factor". This becomes a number you can simply check against another player to see how good you are at the game.

I find the sliders in Factorio great and very customizable; however, they make it quite difficult to stack yourself up against your friends or other players online. Especially when some achievements do not require a "hard" map.
On that note at well, it would be great to see achievements implemented based on this feature. For example, complete a map with a score factor of 850+... Or complete "an objective" or other "achievement" with a score factor of 500+...
Hope you like the idea. Looking forward to playing the expansion when it comes out.
