    Add this to your home-manager

        let
      f = pkgs.factorio.override {
        username = "<Your Username>";
        token = "<Token>";
        versionsJson = ./factorio.json;
      };
    in
    {
      home-manager.users."<Your Username>".home.packages = [ f ];
    };

    In factorio.json

    {
  "x86_64-linux": {
    "alpha": {
      "stable": {
        "name": "factorio-space-age_linux_2.0.7.tar.xz",
        "needsAuth": true,
        "sha256": "1zvk1skkm37kyikq4l1q285l8zhxc6lqvs1x2y2ccxwd4cdm6r96",
        "tarDirectory": "x64",
        "url": "https://factorio.com/get-download/2.0.7/expansion/linux64",
        "version": "2.0.7"
      }
    }
  }
}

    To get your Factorio working.

    Let us all bow our heads to raiguard, the single person who is developing Factorio's Linux-native side, and who also agrees that GNOME's decision to axe server-side decorations was fucking stupid.

    Honestly, they just shouldn't have added support. GNOMEs been causing problems for basically everyone else for a long time. If they want to do their own thing, that's fine, but we shouldn't but everyone else shouldn't have to do extra work to accommodate them.

    I tried nix because it seemed cool, but dipped fast due to things like this. Definitely not a desktop distro (at least for me)

    [–] [email protected] 33 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    this looks like so much pain. Why do you do this to yourself?

    [–] [email protected] 39 points 1 week ago

    The configuration must grow.

    Nix makes me want to cry

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

    Tears of joy, no doubt

    🤣 beautiful

    why not use steam? I know steam has drm and isn't free as in free speech, but it's many times more practical. 2.0.8 is out now, and presumably there will be many updates a week for the foreseeable future, and updating by hand or with a script just to get a drm-free version in nixos seems a bit impractical to me.

    I forgot you can get Factorio from Steam...

    [–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

    You even get a free steam key for each purchase on factorio.com, no need to repurchase

    So I'm currently in a full stack bootcamp (I know - it was free for me and I'm learning things even if it's basically a scam)... why does Factorio have a json file?

    [–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago

    I suspect that the JSON file is for the Nix package manager

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

    NixOS configuration stuff I'm assuming

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    Why?

    I'm thinking of installing it. Is there a problem with it not running?

    [–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

    You need to package all dynamically linked executables because NixOS disables them by design. It's to prevent two programs not working because they depend on different versions of a single library. But it's not helpful when you have a program you need to run, and you need it real soon.

    In terms of whether Factorio runs or not, it does run. You have to add that configuration though.

    Still, if you are familiar with Linux and don't usually get that "I need a program running ASAP" situations, it is a great OS to learn. I can recommend them.

    I don’t get it
