What is factorio ups?

Factorio UPS stands for Units Per Second and refers to the game's ability to update and render the game world. The FPS (Frames Per Second) and UPS are closely related in that the game's FPS can never be greater than its UPS. The game's UPS affects the game's performance and can limit the player's ability to build large factories.

Optimizing UPS in Factorio involves reducing the amount of calculations the game needs to perform by reducing the number of entities, reducing the size of the map, and minimizing the number of updates happening on screen at any given time. Players can also optimize their factories by minimizing the use of complex circuits and reducing the number of pipes and belts used in their designs.

Achieving high UPS in Factorio is critical for players who want to build large factories and increase the game's complexity. Many experienced players strive to achieve the maximum 60 UPS for the smoothest gameplay experience possible.
