Factorio Forums

So I saw a youtuber playing this game and so i am like "that looks cool!"
so I downloaded the demo on steam it just said error some i am like ok... then
I downloaded off of the Factorio Site and still stopped a mods 10% Plz help Ps. first time trying to use it

Why buying from Steam?
Buy direct from the developer site, by that you support the developers (cutting out the pimp) and you run always the latest version without the hassle with the limiting and shaking Steam loader software mandatory to access your game. For Mac user (like me) Steam may be a giant within the PC gamers community but for Mac users a pain in the circuit.
Besides - buying directly gives you a non DRM access game - so I don't see any added value getting far less with a lot of trouble for the same price.
Talk to the developers if they are willing to find a solution letting you in to the real stuff cutting out the middle man.
By the way, Facorio runs on my vintage MacBook 2008 like a breeze

Set launch options in Factorio properties in Steam to that should help.

the automatic update offered if you bought directly from the developer site on the Mac works like a breeze indeed

Thx you vary much it works now!
