Nix aarch64-darwin

Recently have been working on switching all my applications to be installed by either nix package manager or homebrew through nix. I noticed there is a factorio nix package but it is only currently available for x86_64-linux. Would it be possible for someone to add support for aarch64-darwin to this package?

You could open a PR to add support for your target in the nixpkgs repo, the relevant files are
here.
Tho I don't think its a good idea to use nix for game installs directly, rather have steam be installed through it instead. Especially with a lot of new releases that are expected to come the following weeks after the 2.0 launch in 2 days. You'd just always be out of date and would have to wait for the nix package to be updated which can take a couple of days if not longer. And thats only if you're on the unstable channel. If you are on a stable channel you would not receive any updates until a new stable channel is released and you update to it.
