Factory Optimization
Belt Design:- Use direct routing, avoid complex intersections
- Minimize belt length and unnecessary splitters
- Stack belts vertically to save space
- Group similar machines together
- Use local storage for intermediate products
- Implement central power distribution
- Use minimal foundations and decorative elements
- Avoid excessive lighting in automated areas
- Remove unused structures regularly
Hardware Requirements
Factory Size | CPU | RAM | Storage |
---|---|---|---|
Small (1-2 players) | 4 cores | 8GB | 20GB SSD |
Medium (3-4 players) | 6 cores | 16GB | 40GB NVMe |
Large factories | 8+ cores | 32GB | 60GB+ NVMe |
- Restart server daily
- Clean up old save files
- Monitor memory usage
- Use SSD storage
Performance Monitoring
Key Metrics:- Server FPS (target: 30+)
- Memory usage (under 80%)
- CPU utilization
- Network latency (under 100ms)
- Press
Ctrl + Shift + L
for performance overlay - Use
stat fps
console command - Monitor task manager for resource usage
Best Practices
Factory Design:- Use modular production areas
- Implement power zones with switches
- Plan belt routing before building
- Minimize transport distances
- Restart server daily
- Clean up save files weekly
- Monitor performance metrics
- Update software regularly
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my factory cause server lag?
Why does my factory cause server lag?
Large factories with many machines, complex belts, and decorations strain resources. Reduce active machines and simplify designs.
How often should I restart my server?
How often should I restart my server?
Daily restarts help clear memory leaks and maintain performance, especially for large factories.
What hardware do I need for large factories?
What hardware do I need for large factories?
Use 8+ CPU cores, 32GB RAM, and NVMe SSD storage. Monitor usage and upgrade as needed.
Do mods affect performance?
Do mods affect performance?
Some mods impact performance, especially visual effects. Monitor performance when adding mods.
How do I fix low server FPS?
How do I fix low server FPS?
Reduce active machines, simplify belt routing, remove decorations, and implement factory zones with power switches.
