Did you try to get what you have after 10 hours? After 100 hours? Probably on the huge map you cannot have high UPS.

No, i don't try.

I work on balancing and evolution. (v0.0.4)

I guess it depends on your expansion. But also if you leave the ia alive or not.
But I don't think it takes much more resources than the classic game because the ia kill each other. But I have not tested.

/c
script.on_nth_tick(60*60, function()
  local str = ''
  for force_name, force in pairs (game.forces) do
    local count = 0
    for surface_name, surface in pairs (game.surfaces) do
      count = count + surface.count_entities_filtered{force=force.name}
    end
    str = str .. force_name..':'..count .. '; '
  end
  game.print (game.tick .. ': ' .. str)
end)

It makes short statistic about forces.
I've started a new game with the map 1024x1024 and started the game on speed 60 (about 3300-3600 UPS), very interesting who is stronger.

See also the code of https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Pollution_statistics, we can get in-game statistics, just set new item prototypes with names of all forces.

UPD:
Some of enemies have wrong bases:

Thank you
