There seems to be an issue with the Steam overlay on Wayland, and especially with gamescope. This is the thread I've been following, but it doesn't seem like there's any imminent resolution:

Everything here does fit my problem, the thing that's weird is that the overlay has actually worked before on the same system, using Wayland. I guess valve turned on some wayland flag or something?
Apparently in the native build of factorio you can manually select x11 or Wayland, gonna try playing around with that
