Factorio Executable

Post by KapnKrump »

Hey all,

Old time Factorio user, first time forum visitor. I apologize if this was covered somewhere more obvious, but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere.

I remember some time ago that we could download the Factorio executable from the site. This specifically was a big selling point to me at the time, and I went to download a much more recent version to get back into the game again - yall understand, the factory must grow and all...

It looks like there's no way to download just a Factorio.exe file, and it only downloads a setup file - this will specifically not work for me in what I want to do, unfortunately. It's kinda funny, because the zip file folder that gets downloaded is called "Setup_FactorioSpaceAge_2.0.77.exe.zip"

Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks in advance!

You want to download the zip version, not the installer version.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
