It’s the only platform I have to play it on, and switch doesn’t support the new space age expansion.
It did get many of the 2.0 updates, like the extended belt reader, free circuit wires, and all inserters are filters.
As far as acceptable, I love it. I’m sure I can’t build the crazy 10k science per minute monstrosities I’ve seen on youtube, but I’ve never really run into an lag issues with the bases I’ve built.
I imagine it’ll run much better on the Switch 2, given how well it runs on my Steam Deck, though I imagine that it would take a lot of adjustment to get used to using joystick controls versus the touchpad controls of the Steam Deck. Perhaps however the new ‘mouse-like controls’ work will be more helpful in that regard, but I can’t imagine even that would match the precision of a trackpad.
Don’t intend on supporting Nintendo’s crazy price increases myself, and will only get a Switch 2 if a way to hardware mod it becomes available, but I think it’s a bit ironic that the one non-first party game someone would specifically want to play on the Switch is also the one that not only never goes on sale, but also got a price increase.

When I bought the switch I called it my $500 zelda machine.
I also have factorio now.
If a new mario, zelda, or factorio is available on switch 2, I’ll buy one.
I am cringing in horror at how poorly my factories would run on a Switch. Do you find playing it to be an acceptable experience?

And even with the increase it’s still a freakin’ bargain. Such a good game!
one summer back in ‘the day’ i was staying at a house that had a snes. guess what the one and only game we played all that summer was.
Factorio?
