With Linux I can run all those apps that the article say plus whatever I'm playing and hardly enough I get close to 12 or 15 gb of ram.

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 2 points 1 day ago

Even on linux I'd give the same recommendation of 16gb for gaming and 32gb for no worries.

You should install another 1,000 Cities Skylines mods, to make sure you're getting your money's worth out of your RAM.

How many mods do I need to install for rim world?

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

3 complementary (but mostly redundant) retextures.

That's the limit? No rim hud? 😭 Please tell me I'm allowed squeak through on factorio atleast...

With the price of ssd drives these days? Do I look like I'm made of money?

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well, how would Rimworld solve this?

  1. Buy SSDs
  2. Buy basic medical equipment
  3. Be in debt
  4. When debt collectors arrive, incapacitate them, then sell their organs to a passing spaceship
  5. Use free organ-money to pay off debt
  6. Use SSD space to install more Rimworld mods
  7. If SSD is full, repeat from #1

I'm not sure how well this would work in real life. It's probably considered impolite, immoral or illegal or something.

Actually a mod that adds debt and loans into rimworld could be kinda interesting

Oof. I can only play Cities on my desktop that has 64GB with my preferred mods.
