Factorio does use multiple cores but only 1 for the main game logic. Things like rendering, chunk generation, saving/loading all use multiple cores. Also because more than just Factorio runs on your computer at once. If you only had 1 core then Factorio would always be competing for use of that core over everything else that runs in the background on a given computer.matjojo wrote:Everywhere on the forum I read factorio 'currently' only uses one core, if so, why quad core? also 2.5 GHz? that's a lot, I use 1.5GHz and I never have problems, maybe you guys can set up some questionaire about performance and CPU-types and stuffs to test on a lot of people and get better data?
