120 fps. Make Factorio smoother
By Flocc
Use frame generation to achieve 120 fps, which results in a smoother game experience.
It should work with older GPU's.
Prerequisites needed (>= 120 hz monitor, Lossless Scaling)

My experience with Lossless Scaling
I bought Losless Scaling two years ago for FTL: Faster Then Light (Integer Scaling). I tested it; it worked, and I forgot about it...

Recently, I read about LS in a few places, praising how good it is (doubling and tripling fps with its Frame Generation algorithm). And now, when Space Age came out, I noticed a fellow engineer talking about how good it is (https://steamcommunity.com/app/427520/discussions/0/4693405608847473924).

So I tested it myself to find out.

And it is great. No screen tearing. No input lag. No artifacts. It makes Factorio even better.

I'll show you how I set it up, and it's very easy. No screenshots. Will write only changes to default settings.

How to setup
  1. Run Lossless Scaling
  2. Click "+ Add" in the lower left corner
  3. Title: Factorio Filters: Click "Browse" and point factorio.exe location. Auto scale: On Delay: 5
  4. Click "Add"
  5. Scaling type: Off
  6. Frame generation
    • LSFG 2.3
    • Mode: X2
  7. That's it. Run Factorio; LS should automatically detect it and apply settings.
  8. Enjoy a more fluid, smoother experience!

You can experiment and modify some settings (Clip cursor, G-Sync support, Draw FPS, etc.).
G-sync is working for me (my monitor adjusts refresh rate to ~120 hz, no screen tearing).

Fucks with tab-alting quite a bit - eats your mouse cursor
