Posted October 10, 2017
I posted these questions over at the Factorio forums, and got some answers, but not really any to my GOG specific Q's. So here I am asking here. Again. Seeing as the forum was apparently hungry and the post I made last night was eaten.
Interested in the game thanks to seeing a few Let's Plays, but I'm wary of if my computer would be able to handle a late game setup.
The demo runs fine, constant 60 FPS, but the demo doesn't really allow for you to build a sprawling factory.
I've seen some posts from people running the game on similar machines, but the most recent I found is from 2015, and it doesn't mention late game at all.
My specs: Core i3 3130M @ 2.6GHz
4 Gig Ram
Integrated Intel HD4000 graphics.
So if anyone is running it on an HD4000 with similar ram/cpu could you share what your late game framerates look like that'd be wonderful.
My concern is mainly if the game still appears to run at full steam ahead. Sacrificing rendering frames in order for the factory things to run at required speed and whatnot is fine, and so long as the framerate stays above, say, 20-25 FPS I'll be fine.
And as far as my Misc questions, they're mainly about getting the game on GOG.
Some devs out there are kind of flaky about GOG support. How have these guys fared?
Are the GOG updates available in a relatively timely manner? (I know part of that is on GOG, since they like to compile their own installers and whatnot.)
Do they make use of the beta channels in Galaxy for the unstable updates, or are only the stable updates made available?
I saw that the game internally tracks achievements, and then syncs with steam or whatever. Does it also use the galaxy achievements? (This is of minor importance, mor curiosity than anything.)
