I'm since summer a user of Mac; a MacBook Air M1 with 8GiB of RAM, and I'll happily try out if I can play Factorio better on the M1 now. I'm honestly very grateful for the port which I've asked for earlier, and to see the dev team deliver such quality updates and improvements to the game. Now I hope...

This is really good news! I believe this is a huge leap forward in the development of Factorio. If the staff have spent the time to develop it to Nintendo Switch, it is well invested time, not because of the port to the Switch itself, but because: * It is actually now ported to ARM, which means port...

If there is development ongoing for ARM, I'd gladly participate in beta testing on my Mac M1. But I don't just want headless, I want to play on the Mac directly.

One important thing that follows when optimizing is less RAM usage. When using my 8GiB RAM M1 Air, I very soon finds that swapping occurs heavily. If it was compiled directly, it would be able to build a lot larger bases before swapping starts. When swapping starts, it is only a slight performance d...

I'd raise a hand for M1/M2 optimization too, because of several things: Optimizing for M1/M2 would mean optimization for ARM, which is coming very fast. For example it is not possible currently to play on a Raspberry Pi since there are no Rosetta for Pi. Raspberry Pi 4 is a potent enough machine for...

Since I just got a duplicate notification when trying to add it as a new topic in this forum, I'll add it here instead (it fits after all, but I hope it does not just get lost). This is a serious issue. While not technically a bug, it will cause problems for most groups of friends playing Factorio ...

This is a feature I long wished. But as for now, my solution is to put the slowest computer as a headless server to all players then join. Other solution is to run with cpulimit, but then you cut both multithread performance and you really don't want to do this on a client with graphics.

It do work in that way, because it keeps the server paused in case no one is connected. It's not that part I pointing at. It is that it unpauses the game already at the phase the first player is downloading the map. I can't see the point of it since it adds a lot of extra joining time on huge maps. ...

Background: I'm currently playing Space Explore with friends on a headless server. Currently the game size has reached over 600MiB and the game takes a little bit above 13 GiB of RAM for every system. It is indeed heavy and we run Global Tick Time Scale at 30UPS to free up CPU so all computers invol...

I would love to use a female character as my factorian! <3
