      It's an amusing observation but I think TAS is a fairly common thing in speedrunning. I'm not sure how it's accomplished for PC games. I've played around with emulators enough to have a sense of how to produce something like a Super Mario TAS but I wouldn't know where to begin for creating this for a game like Factorio.
