Is there a console-command to turn on vsync so I can check it because the modification of the configfile (vsync =true) will be overwritten to false when I start factorio.

It's horrible that the transportbells look like a 20fps game.

It's all grass. Running around on my map using the following command to delete grass dropped my map from 150MB to 46MB, and dropped RAM usage from 7GB to 1.6GB(ram change only show up after restarting factorio on the server), and lowered entities in the game from 26mil to 2.5mil.

/c for _,entity in pairs(game.player.surface.find_entities_filtered{area={{game.player.position.x-400, game.player.position.y-400}, {game.player.position.x+400, game.player.position.y+400}}, type="decorative"}) do entity.destroy() end

If 400 is too much at one time(game hangs too long deleting and disconnects you) try lowering it to 200 or 100 at a time.

Yes you heard that right, the majority of entities in the game, ram usage, save sizes, map downloads: IT'S ALL GRASS.

I made small mod that reduces save size by removing decorations. With save of this size it might help - it's named undecorator.
No idea if it will reduce overall memory usage - let me know if you take a look.
Basically in 0.13 game seems to be very frugal on placing decorations around the map.

that thing is awesome...from 80MB to 37MB....thanks man now i need to upload it to my server to see if it solved the ram problem ;D

It's not just the save file, while deleting decorations took my map from 150mb to 47mb, it also dropped ram usage on my 8gb headless server from 92% to 20%.

Thats a bit... extreme to say it gently.
It is possible - those decorations can be about 80% of map entities. Map I tested on had about 10.5 mil decorations and 1.5mil for all other entities. This seems to have changed greatly in 0.13.
