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.

[-] Darorad@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

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.

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.

[-] Object@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago

I forgot you can get Factorio from Steam...

[-] baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 10 hours ago

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

[-] TriflingToad@lemmy.world 32 points 1 day ago

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

[-] thesporkeffect@lemmy.world 35 points 1 day ago

The configuration must grow.

[-] RustyNova@lemmy.world 36 points 1 day ago

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

[-] Johanno@feddit.org 12 points 1 day ago

I mean you are completely right. But I mean do you know people who have fun dying in dark souls?

Because you can make it in nixos you just have to be a masochist.

[-] RustyNova@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

It's definitely viable. Just not for me, like dark souls.

[-] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

I don’t get it

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 22 points 2 days ago

Nix makes me want to cry

[-] sunstoned@lemmus.org 9 points 1 day ago

Tears of joy, no doubt

[-] Doolbs@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Why?

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

[-] Johanno@feddit.org 5 points 1 day ago

Please just use steam. No hassle there.

[-] Object@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day 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.

[-] AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago

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?

[-] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 day ago

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

[-] secret300@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 day ago

NixOS configuration stuff I'm assuming

[-] mvirts@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago

🤣 beautiful
