Strengths and trade-offs
Pingperfect — where it wins
- 6 GB and uncapped player slots for $6.00 a month
- Stated CPU clocks: 4.5 GHz on the entry tier, 5 GHz+ on Extreme
- 48-hour free trial, then a 48-hour money-back window
Where it doesn't
- Mods go on through file access, with no in-panel installer
- The Factorio page never names Space Age or the 2.x branch

Where it doesn't
- Six regions is the second-shortest location list in this directory
- Mods come off the portal through file access, not a panel installer
- No RAM figure to compare, so price per GB cannot be checked
- Pingperfect9.4/10 · Per slot · 48-hour free trial
A 6 GB, unlimited-slot factory on a 4.5 GHz tier for $6.00, with a 48-hour trial before you pay.
