Interesting, allows cross platform play. Their excuse for not natively porting to Apple Silicon Macs now does not exist.

Main issue is dealing with the new toolchain, all the Apple notarization, constantly changing rules and lack of backwards compatibility. Not a huge deal but it still means we need a dedicated Mac guy.
The Nintendo Switch port only happened because I'm a fan of the console so I was ok with dedicating time to it.

And then after that they said they would (IIRC) "never" port the game to anything that wasn't x86.

We are many developers and we don't always agree with each-other :P

The only reason it's completely doable on Steam Deck is because the trackpads. I'm REALLY curious what the Switch control layout is going to look like. This is pretty exciting, and I'm glad that official controller support is being worked on. My initial guess as to how they'll pull it off is by combining buttons into larger submenus. For example, holding RB would bring up a radial menu with things like copy/paste/etc. Going to be real interesting to see their solutions.

Pretty much spot on. Holding RB will bring up a radial menu that has quickbar items, tools(copy, paste, new blueprint book) and panels(trains, blueprint library, tips and tricks)

Waiting 1 year the expansion without any news and see that .. my heart is broken....

To put this a little more into perspective, there's been pretty much 1 person working on the switch, while the rest of the team is working on the expansion. Don't take them as mutually exclusive. :)

For the past one and a half years I've been working on a secret Factorio project. Today we are finally revealing it.
As announced during Nintendo Direct, Factorio is coming to Nintendo Switch! It's already in the final stages and the global release date is set for 28th October 2022.

Here is what to expect:

  • All of the game's content will be available. The gameplay is not simplified and there are no artificial limits.
  • There will be no mod support.
  • Multiplayer will be available, including playing cross-platform. Nintendo Switch Online is required for online play, but not required for LAN games.
  • Save files are compatible between all platforms. There will be no save transfer feature at launch, but you can transfer your saves using multiplayer.

Assuming it's the same bug.

Posting the save is still useful for us, so we know how common the occurrence is, and we can haves up to date saves to testing
