    Forget android. Linux phones can now run Factorio!

  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 just having a regular monitor…

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

    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 take just the Frame with you.

    Creator said it works on the Raspberry Pi and other ARM devices now too. Which is pretty cool.

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