Well, I was testing that version actually when I noticed that a single small forest kills my FPS.

There is still a big room for optimization.

Actually I noticed the FPS drops when there is a forest to be rendered. In a desert with no vegetation, I get 60 FPS.

Hi.

I gave a shot to Factorio 0.16.2 yesterday and noticed a big performance regression when I zoom-out to the maximum.

For comparison: on 0.15.40 I get a steady 60 FPS, while I get 12-16 FPS on 0.16.2. This is not acceptable... what's going on?

You don't know what you're talking about.
Probably, yes. I'm just expressing facts and concerns here, then no need to be offensive or snarky. As a customer I would feel somewhat fscked if Factorio 1.x reached 8 GB or more as RAM requirement.

Also, I do know for sure that Skyrim uses 1024x1024px ...

Thanks for the informations, Adil and Rseding91.

RAM is indeed cheap, but think to those who play on laptops... It's not always possible or easy to add more RAM.

Also, the fact that it uses 600 MB for the base graphics is quite concerning for me, Factorio uses simple graphics. This is roughly what ...

I don't use any mod, only vanilla Factorio 0.14.x. My base has ~50h of work, I think it's rather big.

I'm aware that memory usage is not all about textures and graphics, but these are the most greedy RAM consumers. Informations or "metadatas" on the map are just strings or tables internally and ...

Hello community,

I really love Factorio, however I find it uses RAM in excess for a simple 2D game which don't even use HD textures. To be accurate it uses between 2-3 GB of memory. In comparison, Skyrim uses roughly 700-800 MB with the greatest textures.

I have 4 GB RAM here, if I play Factorio ...
