I run 4 simultaneous factorio servers on my old 32gb laptop. How many servers is your 1950x capable of? How much ram do you have? The 1950x is looking like a v

  I have 32 GB of ram, but you could easily fit 128 GB if needed. Above that, I think sourcing the chips becomes difficult. If you aren't concerned with getting absolute maximum speed from the servers, then I'd think you could run 16 of 'em with only moderate degradation; perhaps 20-30% slower (per server) than a single server. Feel free to imagine the Clusterio applications.

    We’re running 43 clusterio-like connected worlds here. Worlds allocated 8gb ram each. Less if we can get away with it by deleting unused chunks.

      How do you deal with biters? That's been the real blocker for me. I don't want to disable them entirely, but worlds need to keep running while there are no players in them. So...?

        Use deliberate antagonism. Create an artillery cluster with flamethrowers and uranium ammo turrets around outside. Space these outside your main base defences. Make them high priority for replenishment. Self contained solar power and accumulators as well as grid power. Don’t use laser turrets except for very inside of cluster. Use thick walls with mixture of solid walls on inside and every-other spacing on outer. Main base exterior walls use a mixture of uranium turrets, flamethrowers and laser turrets. Use laser turrets wrapped around large power pole within base. But no interior walls. Redundant connections using large power poles. Substations are for ordinary structures.
