Real Steam


Steam systems should not look perfectly sealed and silent. Real Steam adds subtle hissing, venting, pipe leaks, and extra ambience to make your factory feel more alive

b Severe periodic lag spike caused by real-steam (every 60 seconds)

17 hours ago

Hi!
I found a performance issue with real-steam.
Using Factorio's built-in debug profiler (F4 → Time Usage), I noticed that once every minute, mod-real-steam runs a script that can take over 2 seconds.
During these spikes, the game freezes and FPS/UPS drops significantly.

The profiler shows:

mod-real-steam
Current: 22.930 ms
Maximum: 2290.169 ms

It looks like the mod performs a heavy update once every 60 seconds.
I also use real-rain, real-wind and real-smoke, but they don't show this behavior and don't cause any noticeable lag spikes.
Thank you for your work! I really enjoy your mods and hope this report helps improve them.
