g5457s Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Done using debug mode because I noticed the game has a tendency to use quite a lot of RAM. I destroyed the entire asteroid, then spammed Ctrl+F2 until over 2,000 dupes are in this "Test Lab" TORTURE CHAMBER colony. Teehee. The game's RAM use (still) skyrocketed to around ~13GB (4 sticks of Kingston HyperBluX 1600 DDR3 RAM = 16GB) with the 1TB hard drive occasionally operating at 100%. However, CPU use (i7-4770) is steady at around 30-40%. The game is crawling probably slower than a snail's pace, and I'm quite surprised it's still not crashing. The music and sounds are not slowing down brokeningly but is getting quite broken - a "good" sign that the game can maybe sort of still take more punishment, in a similar fashion to Top Gear failing to kill a Toyota Hilux. I could go on and summon 1,000 more dupes, but the game is begging for mercy so I backed off. Going back to the main menu (takes at least 5mins) doesn't lower or unload the truly majestic RAM usage - but quitting the game (via Task Manager then End Task) does. Edit: CPU specs Processor: Intel i7-4770 Video Card: NVidia GTX1050Ti, 30% overclock RAM: 4x 4GB Kingston HyperXBlu 1600 Hard Drive: Seagate 1TB Hard Disk Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/88389-pushing-the-game-to-its-absolute-limits/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrindThisGame Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 1000 dupes killed my "potato" computer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDAejCeLeDo but that was before a bunch of optimizations.

g5457s Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 With such a powerful rig and high amounts of RAM (the game is kinda a RAM hog), your computer can handle probably around 3000+ dupes in the Occupation Upgrade until the game starts using (maybe) 30GB of RAM Just a note though: If they're on a platform then you destroy it and let them fall to the black void below like in your video, the game will crash. This didn't happen before the Occupation Upgrade. Just let them fall to the black void and let them stay there, falling for eternity.

Hanro50 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I could always try to make a big freeze map preset that is 4049x4049 I mean 1024x1024 already had...issues...yes my computer has filled complaints... Insane was originally going to be 2048x2048 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/88389-pushing-the-game-to-its-absolute-limits/#findComment-1012458 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TehPlayer14 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I don't think memory would cause crashing because you could still use swap aka pagefile as extra ram unless its limited or disabled Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/88389-pushing-the-game-to-its-absolute-limits/#findComment-1012487 Share on other sites More sharing options...
