8 years later, Factorio finally adds a feature initially dubbed "too hardcore" as the management game's lead says "it is usually a mistake to underestimate the players"

Factorio.

Hit management game Factorio has finally added a feature that its developers held off on for years because they considered it "too hardcore."

That feature would be Parameterized Blueprints. In a new Factorio development blog, lead designer and original studio founder Michal Kovařík got pretty candid about the new feature, writing that he was "thinking about this idea for years already," and that he "always thought the feature is too hardcore to be included."
