Been trying to play Factorio with my gf and cousin, who both use ARM Macbooks. Via bitsearch I was able to find a couple Factorio torrents that include MacOS, but despite allegedly having seeders, I wasn't able to get the download to work (even with DHT enabled).

Does anyone know where I can find a working download link? To be clear, every torrent I found didn't actually have seeders when I put it into the torrent client. At least a few years ago, I was able to a cracked Factorio MacOS version.

(Windows version via Wine works on Linux, but not MacOS (even via Whisky). Installing Asahi is not an option, but an idea I entertained).

Not that I am above piracy, but this is one of the only games worth actually paying for. I'm so excited for the expansion.

Factorio has basically zero drm. Just install it via steam then copy the files.

The only DRM it has is when you want to log into a factorial server, it checks you against the factorial database, but the server can just disable that check a little option. And if you're hosting a game that check doesn't apply only for the always-on servers

They also publish the checksums of the game files, so you can tell if you got a clean copy

I don't have a Steam copy, unfortunately
