Oh Factorio is excellent, but in my mind it's an entirely different game, for a start the whole game, even multiplayer isn't played out in the same terms. It's very much focused on logistics and production, but from the perspective that all players have access to this pipe output of a gigafactory that exists to produce useful stuff for them that they can all share / use together.
That's not the same as an economy, yes, you have logistics chains and production lines and yes, they affect each other. However, it's not a shared space and I think that leads to a very different gameplay experience.
But yes, Factorio is definitely the canonical example of the game in its space.
