When do you stop playing a game?

I've been enjoying playing a 2.0 game with K2 for a few months now. My factory is a giant train grid, with 1-12-1 trains.
But now, after about 244 hours, I'm getting to a regular 25 UPS/FPS, so I think it's time to say good bye to this game, and start a new, different one.
When do you stop playing a game? Do you have a specific FPS/UPS that you play to?

Before I joined team Factorio, I played Anno 1602 alot. In Anno I started a new game, when the current one has become
boring. And this always happened, when there was no space left to build and all things where already optimized.
I haven't reached this point in Factorio yet, so I'm still playing the first game I've ever started awhile

ago. My laptop can still provide around 50 UPS, so performance isn't a real issue yet. But UPS decreased over time, so I've started performance optimization this year, e. g. more beacons instead of more machines. Currently I'm replacing my 9k boilers with the steel ones, so I can half them. Hopefully this will bring UPS back to 60+ again, and I can delay the point where UPS become SPU a few more k hours.
