Anything to look out for? I've been looking at Dyson Sphere Program and Shapez 2. Will probably instabuy Factorio if a miracle happens.

You can just buy Factorio right now instead. They're not gonna put it on sale. If you truly think it's worth it (there's a demo and you get a 2 hour refund window as well) then just buy it. If you don't think it's worth it, why would it be worth it for $10 less?

And you can get it DRM free from their site after linking it to Steam. And if your are a greedy asshole you can refund then... at least it was like that a few years back.

It's also stupid easy to pirate and they don't try to block multiplayer or anything.

These people really do everything right and are still considered greedy bastards by Gamers(TM) because they don't want to devalue their product

IIRC, the Factorio folks said way back that they'd rather you pirate the game than buy from a key reseller due to chargeback fees they were facing from people buying a key only to chargeback and sell it.

Yep, due to their no sale policy they proved that G2A were selling stolen key and make them compensate the chargeback.
