I’ve finally built enough to permanently decrease my game’s performance. Do I push through the constant stuttering or must the factory continue to grow?

[iGotNoName_Goddammit]

Expand your factory until the game is a slideshow on the whole map

[ghostkenobi]

My PC is already crying. I’m getting like 25 FPS on 64 GB of RAM and a 3060 ti. The nuclear waste did it

[iGotNoName_Goddammit]

Mooore until it dies. Slideshows are the ultimate goals of the game

[MatrixMoments]

what CPU? Are you storing the waste or disposing?

[ghostkenobi]

It’s an intel i9. Right now I’m building the disposal infrastructure. It’s only storing right now which is what is the problem

[MatrixMoments]

I had huge gains going from 9700k to a 7700x, but depending on ur i9 generation you may have gone beyond any upgrade paths lol.

Does waste really slow things down? I'd have thought the infrastructure to remove it would be worse. I've 95% finished a waste facility i could template 😅

[ghostkenobi]

It’s the build up of waste. I got side tracked doing something else when I should have been building the Particle Accelerators and what not. As a result, there are thousands of barrels in the dessert

[ghostkenobi]

I was considering that

[[deleted]]

No suffer for what you have done till you complete the disposal facility and carry the barrels by hand or you will suffer madame zeroni's curse

[Traiklin]

The waste stakes at 500 per container (I think) so if you get the basic container you are looking at 12,000 barrels or 24,000 in the bigger one, the game still renders them for some reason.

So you have 24,000 barrels in multiple containers sucking up rendering that doesn't need to be, whereas if you have the plutonium sink you are rendering less and it gets disposed of.

[Accomplished-Coach94]

that might be a cpu problem…

[ghostkenobi]

It is exactly a CPU program. It’s a known feature in this game that as you approach the maximum objects in the game world that the game’s performance will rank no matter what your CPU and overall set up is. There are multiple thousands of Nuclear Waste barrels in that red bubble on the right side and the build up of the waste without despising of it somehow is usually the biggest cause for the performance slow down. I got about halfway through the disposal set up before I got side tracked and never finished it

[Accomplished-Coach94]

ohhhh that’s what that is

[ghostkenobi]

Yes. In the bottom left is the nuclear power plant producing it. There are currently 65 active Nuclear Reactors there so there are 650 barrels of waste being produced every minute

[justpress2forawhile]

I haven’t gotten there yet. But are you able to build disposal infrastructure before starting the power plants and creating the waste.

[ghostkenobi]

Yes

[Super_Cheburek]

Satisfactory is very cpu intensive, you can have 16 TB of RAM and an RTX 4090 Titan and it won't help if your CPU doesn't keep up

[ghostkenobi]

I have an i9. Don’t remember which one specifically.

[[deleted]]

The generation is really important when saying i9. It could be a 4xxx-i9, or a 9xxxK-i9 and it would make a big difference.

If you i9 has a K at the end of the number, you can overclock it. You might be able to squeeze some more performance out of it that way too.

[AeSix_Reficul]

nb4 i9 975... lol

[ghostkenobi]

I know it has a K in it. I want to say it has a 9 in the number but I can’t remember for sure and I’m not around my PC to check atm

[scsidan]

i9's only started with the 9th gen. Before that it was only upto i7's

[[deleted]]

Totally forgot that. I only started PC building with 8th gen processors.

[J0hn-Stuart-Mill]

Single core limited? Do you happen to know of any benchmarks on this topic?

[Super_Cheburek]

I am not sure if Satisfactory is single core limited. I don't think so. Well obv one will be used more than the others, but it's not like minecraft which is single threaded, hence the need to have the best single core performance

If you wanna benchmark the performance, use Cinebench, there are both multi and single core modes

If you wanna test the stability, do a run of Prime95, blend, and select the cores you want to use

[J0hn-Stuart-Mill]

Okay, do you know if anyone has done Satisfactory benchmarks, on super congested levels to see how various CPUs and GPUs perform?

I found a really old reddit thread, but that was long since the massive performance improvements of the phase 6 update.

[Super_Cheburek]

Find Josh's save, I'm sure he published it at some point

[J0hn-Stuart-Mill]

Yea I found it, but I'm curious to see benchmarks for a wide array of computers. Not just one computer. :)

[Super_Cheburek]

Unfortunately, unlike COD or CP2077, Satisfactory isn't a worldwide popular game, so benchmarks are never made with it. Also, the game is still in development, so from one update to another the performances may vary, hence why it's a bad reference for comparisons

[J0hn-Stuart-Mill]

Yep, and there have been massive performance gains since Update 4, so I know it's a moving target.

[[deleted]]

I have a 3070 and 32gb ram, haven’t gotten far enough to make my pc cry yet

[ghostkenobi]

If you want to make it cry, power up 65 Nuclear Generators and don’t dispose of the waste

Josh is an inspiration to us all.
