[1.1.109]The memory usage is very high

[garygo]

I used pymod.
Now the game uses more than 72GB of memory.
My friends can't join my game because they don't have enough memory (he has 32GB of memory)

I started with 32GB of RAM, Saving and loading archives is very slow. So I added 2 sticks of 32gb RAM for a total of 96GB, This significantly reduces save and load times. When I added the memory, it took up about 50GB, and after a while, it is now about 72GB. If memory usage continues to increase, I won't be able to play.I want to know what is causing the memory footprint, so I try to delete everything I know.

I took the following steps to remove them:
1. I used the /editor command to manually delete my factorys
2. I used the following command to remove the chunks

Code: Select all

/c local surface = game.player.surface;
game.player.force.cancel_charting(surface); 
for chunk in surface.get_chunks() do
  if (chunk.x < -1 or chunk.x > 1 or chunk.y < -1 or chunk.y > 1) then
    surface.delete_chunk(chunk)
  end
end

3. I used the "/c game.player.surface.clear_pollution()" command to remove all pollution

The problem didn't get any better, though, and it still took up around 72GB of my memory

I tried to migrate all factories to a new save using the editor's import layer function. I succeeded, and now the memory usage is only 5GB, which saved my game progress. It's a pity that I lost other progress, such as technology and TURD.

Given that this looks to be related to excessive amount of script inventories created by Mining_Drones mod, i forwarded this to Klonan.

Hello, It was a problem with my mod mining drones, it was leaking inventories.

I have released an update, can you try it and tell me if it fixes the problem in your proper save?

Thank you, the issue has been resolved.

Here's what I did: I updated the mod to 1.1.11 and loaded my save for the first time. The memory usage spiked to 82GB, consuming all my available memory. After waiting a long time, I managed to enter the game, and the memory usage dropped to 40GB (perhaps the memory was released, but that's what I saw in Windows Task Manager). I saved the game (it took less than 10 seconds) and closed the client. Then, I reopened the client and loaded the save again. This time, the memory usage was only 5GB, and everything seems to be working fine now.
