Factorio has a Mac version: Steam sells it for macOS and its requirements list Apple chips. Install it in Steam for Mac; it doesn’t need Uncork. Player reports say the Windows version starts too.
Factorio came out on Steam on 14 August 2020, made by Wube Software LTD.

The Mac requirements list Apple chips.
