The Steam version of Factorio will be your first copy of the game, so make sure you have that set up and ready to go. After a bit of mucking around, I uncovered there is a solution to this though! 1. Initially I spent quite some time searching through the Factorio Forums to see if anyone else had managed to solve this and although there were old references here and there, nothing I could find would actually work. The reason it does this is because the game stores it’s configuration in your user’s Application Support folder and so when you have multiple copies trying to access these files at the same time, it won’t allow you to start the game. On Windows this is an easy proposition as the game developers provide a simple zip version of the game that will run as a standalone copy, however on Mac, the only version available is a pre-packaged disk image that will complain when you try to run a second copy. One of the most difficult scenarios to test is multiplayer, as it requires you to run at least two copies of the game simultaneously. One of the challenges with developing mods for Factorio is you end up in the situation where you need to be able to test multiple configurations and game setups without resorting to constantly relying on other people to test it for you. I’m guessing if you’re still reading you’re familiar with the game.
