I can’t imagine playing Factorio on a Steam Deck, so I haven’t gotten one, but it’d be nice to be able to being my factory with me on the airplane. I figure some AR glasses would make for a nice display, but the controls need most of the keyboard, the mouse, and as many mouse buttons as you can afford, and I haven’t worked that part out yet.
Yeah, I don’t think Factorio would be as fun on a Steam Deck.
That said, there are a ton of great games that are a ton of fun on the Deck, so much so that most of my gaming time is spent in bed on my Steam Deck, because the gaming experience is good and definitely beats going over to my desktop.

Trackpad makes it somewhat playable, not as fast and comfortable as keyboard and mouse, but playable

Yeah, rimworld has the same problem.
Fully native Linux version, so it’s deck verified, but good luck doing anything with a controller in a top down, resource management game like that.
I mini Bluetooth keyboard and mouse helps, but quickly becomes awkward if you don’t have a desk to play at.
Still love my deck for casual single player games though. Play a lot of sonic, doom, wolfenstein, the Witcher 3, etc.
