Is there any possibility of getting some support on this topic? At least some more in-depth information for what processor is actually considered OK for the headless server that can guarantee stability over the game? I would love to know which specific aspects of CPU we should be looking for. This c...

Thank you @clarity ! For a moment I thought i am going crazy here. You are indeed right. 20% is just 20% of a single core, not a 20% of a total CPU. Therefore headless server indeed is utilising only 20% of a single core within the CPU and statement that CPU is too slow is not justified. Also still ...

Thanks, what I understand that the game is mostly single threaded, and therefore only “20% usage” is observed.
So we are just talking about the performance per thread.

So what would be the ideal spec for the headless server here?

This is on Steam. none of the steam version works for me.

Standalone, just checked 2.0.15 - works without issues, works as expected.

Also, I have checked CPU usage of factorio, and It does not justify what you are suggesting. I am barely getting to 20% of CPU usage Is there any debug mode that would confirm your theory that CPU is to blame here ? 05:31:01 PM UID PID %usr %system %guest %wait %CPU CPU Command 05:31:06 PM 1003 4799...

Thanks for reply!

That would make more sense. Is there any specific element to take into consideration when choosing good hardware for headless server?
Like if i would switch to "Intel Xeon E-2336 Rocket Lake 2.9 GHz" would that be still considered as too slow for the game ?

Thanks!

I've been playing with friends from other side of the globe for a while now. Usually I was running server from my client. This time I wanted to create a headless server that we can all connect to. It was running on my home network as my client, but just on a separate machine. Machine is not crazy po...

Hi, I have recently updated kernel on my fedora and there was a factorio update, now I am unable to run factorio, I'm getting crash. I haven't played for a few days, since ~ October 24 (guessing date based on timestamps of my local dir) I have tried 20.0.13, 20.0.14, 20.0.15 and 20.0.16 but all I am...
