Looking at the log file I see 2 issues. 1. You've forced the game to run as OpenGL which is measurably worse performance wise than the default of DirectX. Is there a reason you did this? 2. Your GPU has 2 GB of video memory and you're trying to run graphics heavy mods. My theory ...

That’s expected. Some debug options have performance overhead.

Ah that makes sense. Missed that one. Thx for the fast response and help

The issue is made worse by the most extreme case of over-signaling I have ever seen in your save. If you removed 90% of the signals it would probably drastically improve the performance.

... doing circuit controlled power priority and ramping up and down consumption to match energy reserve value etc. So I wonder if this has similar performance concerns, using power switches to dynamically change the topology of the networks at large scale. When split, the statistics are copied. ...

... in the config file. In a graphics version of the game it sees that a given GPU can actually use a larger atlas size and does so to improve performance. The "fix" here is to just not set the atlas size at all in the config and let the game figure out the best option it can.

TLDR: Does the slowest client connected to a dedicated server impact performance of other players? No. If a client is too slow to keep up with the server the server will drop the client with a message "*player-name*'s computer or network could not keep ...

I do know this game is DRAM dependent, so I am wondering if I populate all 16 DDR3-1866 slots, will that give any performance increase? It is 8-channel memory supported.

Theoretically yes.

It's not going to happen. It would be a memory and performance hit for *every single base game player regardless of them using mods* - that's not going to happen. Wouldn't this be inevitable in the future, anyways? If a major content update is ever ...

I loaded the save and it's using at most 8 MS, I then un-zipped the mod and commented out the chart tag and it made zero difference in performance. So what ever the time is spent in that mod; it's not the chart tags.

Active chunks have the performance impact of what ever entities need to be updated in those chunks. Ghosts of destroyed entities, beacons, and corpses update every 150~ ticks until they time out. I’m the case of beacons they never time ...

... not written to disk is due to the disk write logic built into windows. You can disable disk write caching on windows but you will get degraded performance. https://www.thewindowsclub.com/enable-disable-disk-write-caching-windows-7-8 The fix is not have the operating system crash. An improper ...

It looks like the issue is the https://mods.factorio.com/mod/graftorioSF mod; removing that fixes the performance issues completely.

I'm looking for any saves. I'm going to test if they desync locally and test other things that the current released version of the game doesn't test for performance reasons.

We do attempt to validate what we can when saving. The issue(s) come from the performance impact the validation has. The players with correctly working hardware (the vast majority) don't want to pay increasingly more cost to try to catch issues on malfunctioning ...

Thanks for the report. I don't currently have a solution to this that wouldn't make setting visible to false have big performance impact which is not desirable.

... into it, windows 11 does this far better than windows 10. In the end I just disabled the E-cores in my BIOS and it gave a total system overall performance boost. Requiring every piece of software tell the operating system (windows or mac) which cores it wants to use is a recipe for disaster... ...

... to work just like that. The value of the define is never supposed to be important and in an ideal world mods could not read the value. But due to performance we don't have it setup that way. A given define is only ever useful when combined with an API function that specifically requests it. Otherwise ...

I’m not against adding filters but generally the filters are for when the event happens a lot and to allow filtering out the ones a mod doesn’t need without paying the overhead of filtering on the lua side. In this case the event is super rare and performance isn’t really a concern.

... with how many tile ghosts you have queued to build but not being built is causing it to take a *very* long time to complete. I've improved the performance of this specific case for the next release but if you let it sit, it will eventually continue.

... old core2duo in that CPU list; but I do see a CPU released within the last 6 months on the latest manufacturing process with amazing single core performance. It feels like it's long overdue to get more use of cores from gaming. In Factorio's case I'd guess Bot pathing, Biter AI and Train pathing ...
