To keep track of versions I've renamed version 0.2.8 from "factorio.app" to "factorio 0.2.8.app". Upon starting it up, the game stops at the first white screen with this alert message (edited):

Failed to load window icon! Loading from: /Users/[redacted]/applications/Factorio/factorio.app/Contents/data/resources/factorio-icon.png

If I click "OK" it quits. You can see it's still looking for a "factorio.app", when it should be using the new name of "factorio 0.2.8.app"

Hmm the app in the OSx can't handle changing the package name at the

You can get around this in the config.ini (~/Library/Application Support/factorio/config/config.ini) by having:

[path]
read-data=__PATH__executable__/factorio 0.2.8.app/Contents/data

True. This is not really convenient.

Maybe that could be resolved with a symlink (if the installer is allowed to create it)

At least that approach works fine for me on linux (/usr/share/factorio is actually a symlink to ~/factorio and that is symlink to ~/factorio-<[AD]>-<version>)
