Stutter & Frame drops: Factorio is famous for its extreme engine optimization, but building massive "Mega-Bases" (reaching 10,000+ Science Per Minute) places an extreme load on memory latency and single-thread CPU cache. Factorio's C++ engine ticks (Updates Per Second - UPS) are directly bounded by system RAM access times.
CC & Modding Impact: Optimized for low-latency dual-channel setups. Memory latency (CAS latency) is the single most important factor for UPS scaling.
Below are realistic Event Viewer error reports and game logs that trigger when Factorio (Mega-Base) runs out of memory or hits single-channel bottlenecks.
[SYSTEM] Factorio Tick Scheduler: active entity count exceeds 4,000,000
[WARNING] UPS limited by Memory Controller latency thresholds
[SUCCESS] Latency tuned: absolute memory access time minimized to 58ns
[HELP] To resolve, upgrade to a sweet-spot dual-channel configuration (DDR5-6000 CL30 or DDR4-3600 CL14).
