It's obvious that these chips are going to be pretty beefy (and these are supposed to be their relatively "low end" chips - can't imagine what'll be in something like a Mac Pro or a larger MBP in the future). I, for one, would really appreciate it if they kept working on it and made it "optimized" for the Mac, even though I know it's difficult. I saw a developer in this thread commenting about it being an uphill battle to get the game to work on the Mac at all, and the future of the game on the Mac (at least based on that comment) seems rocky. I won't be playing this more until much later tonight/possibly this weekend, but based on the above, it seems pretty promising. Understandable, given the thermal constraints, but the Mini is virtually silent for me while playing whereas the fans on the MBP almost immediately spin up and are audible (not jet-engine-takeoff loud, but loud enough that I can hear it without straining). Weve successfully played with mods and this setup before, but now my friend on the M1 is getting occasional desync errors (maybe every 20 minutes or so.). One obvious difference is that the Mac Mini is noticeably quieter. Im playing multiplayer with some friends and have a Linux server running with most of us on Windows but 1 friend on an M1 Mac. Animations are smooth, and I didn't see any lag or graphical artifacts. While running around doing common tasks, I couldn't see anything broken, so Rosetta seems to be doin its job. Those numbers are as follows:Īll mods that I have seem to load fine. For comparison's sake, I have a 16" i9 MBP (32B RAM, macOS 10.15.7) that I normally use to play Factorio, and I wanted to see what the difference in load time would be to get the same setup loaded up on both machines (including the way too many mods that I have). ![]() I thought it would already be on these Macs, but whatever, I downloaded it and heard no further complaints.įactorio loads fine. When launching Steam, I was prompted to install Rosetta. With the above being said, here are my initial impressions. ![]() Specs: Mac Mini, 16GB of RAM, 2TB disks, macOS 11.0.1 (I'm mostly going to be using it as a home server/for hobby projects). I don't have enough time on it to know whether or not I'm pushing any of the game's limits, and I certainly don't have a mega-factory or something that would push the machine further than I assume others could. Okay I just installed it and started playing around.ĭisclaimer: I only have around 40 hours on the game.
