Factorio gets a full ARM64 Linux port to play anywhere - especially nice for the Steam Frame

  Factorio in VR? I mean it’s good news, but why would you? Maybe for people that play exclusively in VR?

    big use case for the frame is apparently to play flat games on a huuuuuge virtual monitor.

      How good is the detail on it for that, would it look like a somewhat lowres virtual monitor/projector? But I could see a use for that still, and if pixel densities can continue to improve it will only get better.

      Sounds like a much worse experience than you having a regular monitor…

    Main goal here is likely to utilize the portability of the Steam Frame. It’s a self contained computer, meaning you can install Factorio directly to it and only take the Frame with you.

      It only runs headless on the RasPi, so it’s only useful as a server. The RasPI has limited graphics support.

    The ARM port will still be great for the steam machine and deck.

    Forget android. Linux phones can now run Factorio!
