The most neurodivergent game ever since Dwarf Fortress dropped a new DLC to go into space and I must know how your factories are going.
I started a new save file. Got to Vulcanus, found it terrifically easy to set up huge chip production, I export most of my shit from there.
Went to Fulgora next. Figuring out how to fot a train station on the tiny scrap islands woth millions of scrap was fun. Despite Gleba existing I found Fulgora the most annoying, trying to manage the output of the scrap frustrating. My filter system is constantly backing up with gears and ice cubes and I wish there was a chest that would just delete items put into it. Needed the lightning turrets from here to kill the medium worms on Vulcanus.
I finally re-arranged my space platform to have enough furnaces to have max ammo all the time, making flying between planets way safer. I also was forced to use circuits and I begrudgingly enjoy it.
Got to Gleba recently. Several key components of this planet are not communicated well, like how to add new farmable plots or which spots are farmable in the first place. Using bots for everything and never using a belt, so nothing backs up, was key. The most fun part of this planet is figuring out how to bleed off your excess production of pentagon eggs into your science production while still keeping the pentapod duplicators infinitely stocked.

Neither DF nor Factorio are even remotely near the 'most neurodivergent game' ever and I doubt either of them is even half as neurodivergent as Nethack or Aurora4x. I mean Elin released this year and it mogs both of them into autismion too.

I've played nethack since the 90s and its derivatives and its not that extreme from factorio or DF.
Elona is about as complicated and degenerate as SS13.
Aurora 4x is probably the only one with the high af learning curve and massive amounts of bullshit you need to figure out before actually enjoy playing.

I miss the space
station 
13 era where 
it wasn't colonized by furries. Unfortunately the community 
didn't Gate keep hard enough.
Nowadays it's all just Russian
and non-russian text f****** servers. I wish every freak 
got castrated and shot into the Sun

Raiding their erp dens was fricking hilarious, breaching and killing all the furstrags and mothstrags and lizard strags was great

Have you ever even played Factorio neighbor?

Neurodivergent games aren't just defined by their complexity. You have to include other characteristics as approachability (very, top played steam game), modding content and community (vast), lore and game knowledge (rough to non-existant). In fact, someone should create an actual chart for this topic.
Please do rank the following games on the autism scale: Neverwinter Nights Continued Servers, Eve Online, Dwarf Fortress, Factorio, Sonic, Oxygen Not Included, Elona, Nethack, CCDA, Rule The Waves, Minecraft, The Impossible Quiz.
Frick you for making me write so much on this neurodivergent topic, I bet you haven't even made your own game in Eamon.

my brother people used to make giant factories with a special conveyor belt that winds around all your shit just so you can stand on it and watch the machines do stuff. People would have arguments over whether various user created blueprints were better because of aesthetics or a +.00001% efficiency increase over another bp. factorio is in the abyssal zone of autismo games even though it (currently) is a little bit trendy.

"Wait, this is just programming..."
I can frick with 'tism games, but I wanna get the expansion before jumping back in!
Last time me and my buddy were building trains, lol.

Yeah the expansion re-arranges several techs and it's best to start from a clean save file (though it is pretty lame that several techs you unlock on the new planets are just old ones, like artillery cannons and spidertron)

Ehhhh. Aurora's definitely the most neurodivergent of the games you've listed here, but is Nethack really more neurodivergent than Dwarf Fortress? The ridiculously detailed grappling system alone puts Nethack to shame, but maybe there's more to Nethack than I realize. And Elin? Really? You're going to claim that's more neurodivergent than DF or Factorio?

Much harder barrier to entry. DF and Factorio are borderline normie tier. Even hardcore neurodivergents don't know about or want to play Elona/Elin. Maybe my point of view is just regarded but I think this also needs to be r-slurred.

Barrier to entry is worth considering. DF's took a nosedive, but I guess most people are literally incapable of understanding that
cmeans cat. Elona/Elin have graphics upfront, but they suffer from obscurity+japanese weirdness (pet girl?). Factorio definitely has a lower barrier to entry, and yet I can't shake the feeling that its still a lamp to which neurodivergents are drawn.Jump in the discussion.

Factorio is mega normie shit in terms of factory games lol

I think normies can get attracted to Factorio easily, but I highly doubt any but the neurodivergent will really stick with it beyond the mid game

Unless we're including minecraft and factorio mods under that umbrella, it's the most neurodivergent one out there.

Not really a factory game. Sure, in hindsight you can see a lot of the DNA there, but the Zachtronics games are their own thing.

It's just about textbook factory game, production processes requiring increasingly complex automation through an increase in components and other parameters. It's a puzzle factory game, which most factory games, spacechem just doesn't have procedural generation.

Barrier to entry is still a fairly
wide spectrum. I'd make the argument 
that dwarf 
fortress is on the higher end of the spectrum relative to other games 
like rimworld ASCII is still kind of neurodivergent
