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.

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.

Sister communities:


Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
