running out of memory(RAM)

[NightmareInfinity]

Does anyone know what happens when the factorio dedicated server in 0.12.x runs out of RAM? I myself haven't tested it and I don't have a big enough factory to get to my ram limit. anyone tested this?

I'm running a dedicated server on Linux x64, currently with Marathon+RSO mods. The map has a playtime of about 60 hours. Factorio is pretty consistent with its RAM usage, it always stays below 1 GB.

Code: Select all

KiB Mem:   2097152 total,  1122016 used,   975136 free,        0 buffers
KiB Swap:        0 total,        0 used,        0 free.   434056 cached Mem

  PID USER      PR  NI    VIRT    RES    SHR S  %CPU %MEM     TIME+ COMMAND
20864 factorio  20   0  996620 732044   8476 R  39.6 34.9  96:52.92 factorio

I don't know what happens if it runs out of RAM, but I suspect it will start swapping to disk and lag as hell.
