Factorio is another good mention for its Linux support. It even has a feature that saves in the background on Linux that the windows version doesn't have. Doesn't matter much for the base game, but it's really nice if you're placing a big mod pack like Space Exploration etc.
There's a stutter in the windows version whenever the games saves that the Linux build doesn't have basically.
I havent played factorio seriously since it hit version 1.0.
I feel like I've gotten too old, too slow, and too dumb to play it now. last time I tried I spent 4 hours just trying to make a basic copper and iron production chain.
I get the feeling. It's been about a year and a half since I sunk good time into that game, but I haven't been playing much games over that entire time tbh. The feeling of figuring things out and building a good production chain is unmatched though IMO. Few games satisfy me as much to figure out as Factorio.
With the new Space Age DLC and free 2.0 update, it's a great time to try and get back into it! Highly recommend it.
