You should try GeForce Now (NVIDIA’s cloud gaming service). It’s $5/month and I’ve got nothing but good things to say about it. It’s perfect for games like Factorio. It used to be perfect for Civ too, but 2K decided that you shouldn’t be able to play their games on unapproved computers, despite buying them on Steam.

So much of factorio is using the keyboard though.. how does that translate to a tablet?

Tablet? I use it on my computer, it’s basically a VM with RDP (not literally RDP as it’s specialized for gaming).

fwiw I play exclusively on my couch using the Steam controller. Not sure if it’d work with a tablet but it works almost perfectly. The only issue I have is with steering the tank.

A LOT of people will say it’s not possible with a controller.
