I just bought Factorio but I am unable to install Factorio on macOS Monterey because I get this error.

“factorio” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.

This software needs to be updated. Contact the developer for more information.

Please help.

Sorry about that, the Mac handling Apple notarization died. You should be able to install older Factorio releases like 1.1.74 though. Will fix the issue over the next days.
