Post by NomisCode »

Hello,

It sounds like you have not enough RAM and your system is swapping a lot.

8GB RAM in enough. So, I don't know. After Factorio is loaded, it accesses disk only to play music, load/save saves and write to logs. Check how big factorio-current.log is. Is should be few hundred kilobytes at most.
