Infinifactory - The sequel to SpaceChem, it's in early access but it's in really good shape. Very much like SpaceChem but in 3D. You get a supply of blocks and have to use conveyor belts and various tools to combine them in specific ways and deliver to the output spot(s). Starts off simple and rapidly gets tricky. You then compare your efficiency to everyone else who has played that level. Involves basic programming concepts after a certain point. Nerdy fun!
Just because this thread has a Space Chem element to it, don't forget the already out there sequel to Space Chem, Ironclad Tactics. It basically has you programming mechs in an American Civil War alt history. It seemed fun from the 15 minutes I've played it. Needless to say I got it from a bundle, and it's on my backlog to play for real. But based on its setting alone might interest people around here.
