On the Steam deck? How? With external KB and mouse?
- redundantly 3y agoProbably because you can pick up and play anywhere at any time. Playing on a PC vs the Deck (or other similar portable) is like the difference between being an addict and the dealer using their own product.
- jnwatson 3y agoI’m personally not a fan, but lots of folks report that factorio works fine on the deck.
- kevincox 3y agoThey made some UI tweaks to make it work well on the Steam Deck. https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-370 https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-370 I haven't tried it but I've heard that it is completely playable, although I'm sure not as convenient as using a mouse and keyboard.

- kimbernator 3y agoIt has native controller support as well, evidenced by the fact that it is also available on switch.
- jayshua 3y agoCustom input map with extensive radial menus and layers.
- lawn 3y agoI haven't played Factorio (yet...), but the trackpads work surprisingly well for other mouse based games such as Planet Coaster, FTL, point and click games etc. While I wouldn't play RTS games on it, the pads combined with the fantastic steam input that lets you rebind any button to any keypress (or a macro of presses) makes it so you can be fairly sure you can play most mouse keyboard+mouse games on it.
- dotnet00 3y agoInitially with a custom input map, took a little customization and getting used to, but was very natural afterwards. Now with the controller support added to the PC version of the game from the Switch release.
