Before installing on a laptop
Compare the exact GPU model and video memory, not just the laptop’s RAM. The minimum GPU must support Vulkan 1.3. If your laptop has both integrated and dedicated graphics, make sure the game uses the dedicated GPU.
Large factories and handhelds
The developer notes that very large factories are CPU-heavy. Meeting the minimum requirements does not establish a particular frame rate. We have no verified Steam Deck performance results or native macOS/Linux requirements to report.
