Partial The on-screen controller and launcher UI are vibe-codeable, but running an official Linux ARM64 game build natively on Android with GPU access depends on hard systems work around containers, drivers, and graphics APIs.
What it would actually take: The core is a Linux userland or container running on Android with Vulkan or OpenGL passthrough to the phone GPU, plus input mapping for touch-based controls. Getting this to run reliably across devices requires systems and graphics engineers familiar with Android internals, driver quirks, and the Factorio runtime.
