Want to share your map? Maybe your save is just too big, my game is running at ~3GB for py. Although at the loading screen it goes up to 6.

Almost 12GB?? I don't think that's solvable outside of changing the code of the game (and maybe even then not).

So I wouldn't even blame graphics because that should use the GPU memory. Yeah, just out of curiosity, how big is your base? I have around 1000 transport belts and it uses 2GB. Just sharing. Looks normal to me for my size.

Bigger map means more memory usage.
Its not really avoidable in a game, which allows almost endless growth and expansion

Largest base that is actively played I have seen on the forum is the azembog with 100 gig ram.

Your wish is my command

That's quite a save
Probably mostly empty chunks I bet, I can't load it after all. Reminds me, could be worth for OP to try and trim the map.

AFAIK these days OSes consider unused RAM to be wasted RAM :

The same might apply to Factorio.
Are you actually encountering any performance issues ?
(And if so, sharing your savegame might help.)
