Been trying to play Factorio with my gf and cousin, who both use ARM Macbooks. Via bitsearch I was able to find a couple Factorio torrents that include MacOS, but despite allegedly having seeders, I wasn’t able to get the download to work (even with DHT enabled).
Does anyone know where I can find a working download link? To be clear, every torrent I found didn’t actually have seeders when I put it into the torrent client. At least a few years ago, I was able to a cracked Factorio MacOS version.
(Windows version via Wine works on Linux, but not MacOS (even via Whisky). Installing Asahi is not an option, but an idea I entertained).

Factorio has basically zero drm. Just install it via steam then copy the files.
The only DRM it has is when you want to log into a factorial server, it checks you against the factorial database, but the server can just disable that check a little option. And if you’re hosting a game that check doesn’t apply only for the always-on servers

They also publish the checksums of the game files, so you can tell if you got a clean copy
I don’t have a Steam copy, unfortunately
