I've been meaning to add the game Factorio to the start menu in PortableApps. The game can be installed as a standalone portable app from their Factorio website, given that you have purchased a license for it.
It's been difficult to find various information and research about this topic. What are my options and what steps do I need to produce the result?
The Factorio executable directory resides in.
Factorio_[version]/bin/x64/Factorio.exe
As I understand it, the .exe file need to be in the root folder of Factorio for PortableApps to recognize it?

I ended up solving it myself by following OpenTTD's directory structure. Apparently I could just make my own launcher. PortableApps has the "PortableApps.com Launcher" for us to generate a launcher to an app. I read more about it and created some of the .ini files that was required. It was actually a lot more simpler than expected.
I may end up making a step-by-step guide about it.
