How the calculator sizes a Factorio server
Factorio runs in its own container with 2 vCPU. Its memory starts at 3 GB and grows by 1 GB for every 8 players, the way EphemeralHost sizes every Factorio server; the server size is the next one up from your players.
A big modpack or world needs more memory: More power adds 4 GB for +0.15 €/h, only while the server runs.
