Holy plate of shrimp: I just built a small Dyson Sphere around a black hole, all by myself! Not quite as big and majestic as these though:

In case you don't know what Dyson Sphere Program is -- think 3D Factorio in Space:

Katherine of Sky has some great DPS videos, and she also plays lots of Factorio and Satisfactory too:

I've got Dyson Sphere on my backlog; at the moment I finally budget and bought Satisfactory, it looks really well fleshed out at the moment and it'll take me hours and hours of more work to lay out my factory just to get the second package up the space elevator. Love it.

Satisfactory is an incredible game. Maybe my favorite of the last two years. And it isn’t even completed. Beautiful, coherent, well optimized, unbelievably huge content, without limits to the player’s creativity.

If anyone reading this loved building factories in factorio and building huge buildings in Minecraft, try Satisfactory now.

Its a pretty great "asynchonous multiplayer" game as well - My friends and I had a server going for a few weeks and we'd log on when we could. Had a central 'mall' area, but everyone branched off and build their own projects which mined and manufactured items and sent them in towards the core. Was quite delightful to log in and realize your friend had built 100MW of additional power since you played the previous evening :-D
