It depends what you’re wanting to do and what you define as ‘cheating’? I’d expect you’d get better at debugging massive amounts of hallucinated code, but I don’t think it’d generally improve your skills in software design/engineering/architecture. It might help you learn about breaking down software and integration though.
I’m trying to make a game in this genre though I describe it as a base-building/simulation/survival game, other favourites include Oxygen Not Included, Timberborn, Factorio and Satisfactory.
