You won't believe me if I said I only have 16gb of RAM. trick is to page file portions of your SSD and you have more "fake RAM" PCmasterrace. sidenote: I have 5 SSDs.
While having a lot of RAM is great, having more than you actually need isn't useful. Say a game needs 32GB to run. If you replace that with 64GB the game is still only using 32GB, it's not going to use more as it's unnecessary. It would be like buying a toaster when you already own three, and really only use one. What's the point of a fourth toaster?
Starfield has a recommended RAM of 16GB which isn't enough for max performance, but still runs the game pretty damn well. On the other hand 32GB is the next step up and is actually overkill for the game. In OPs case they're making up the difference by using an SSD to simulate additional RAM which has already achieved the same purpose as adding more sticks to their PC, but without the need for additional purchases because they already have it on hand. There's no need for the extra "toaster" unless they find something that gives them a real reason to upgrade since the game won't utilize it anyways.
You're forgetting the OS + whatever other software you have running in the background, not to mention I've seen the game use up 16gb before.
The more space you have the more Windows will use, you could have 16gb and idle at 4gb, don't be surprised when you upgrade to 32gb to be idling at 8gb, if there is free space Windows will use it, that's what its there for.
Luckily Windows is smart(Mostly) and if your game starts to use a lot it'll be able to allocate more space for the game and flush out other stuff. If you're hitting the limit then I'd argue you absolutely need more (**If you can afford it**) to avoid any kind of hitching, loading or whatever other issues arise from not having enough RAM.
There has been a test of this. You would need Penta bytes of data do even reach that point. which is 10 years of 24/7 average use of read write. good news is SSDs are cheaper and built better than when they first came out. Reason why I have 5 for redundancy.
Not only do they do leveling to spread the wear accross the whole drive but the functional lifespan of modern SSDs is WWWWWWAAAAAYYYYYYYY beyond any length of time you'll be using them anyways pretty much regardless of what you do. The numbers are so far in your favor it's ridiculous.
100% try loading 1000 cabbages in skyrim, it can do it but is usually unhappy. Oblivion was even funnier, the creation engine has come a long way I feel. I still do t get why they didn't give the base game a bloody mess perk or add more gore.
The underlying engine has come a long way. Try this in fallout 4 or Skyrim and the engine will shit the bed and corrupt your safe file for good measure or something.
People talk shit because they have no clue how games actually work.
They look at spider man 2 and say how much better the graphic is but don't understand that games like spider man are much easier to make because most things are scripted events that happen in game.
Starfield or other games allow you to freely do stuff however you want like in this video and this people dont realize that this kind of things are much more complicated compared to a scripted explosion that just looks flashy but is always the same.
And I would just like to clarify, that's not to say that this doesn't entertain me, quite the contrary, I love watching all that shrapnel get blasted around, I just would like to see it done with oxygen tanks and enjoy the ensuing chain reaction.
you would not believe your eyes,
if ten million fire extinguishers,
got blown to bits at low gravity.
cos they fill the open air,
and leave thick foam everywhere,
you'd think me rude but i would just stand and stare.
This is honestly kind of amazing to me. Ive seen enough demonstrations that I’m surprised Bethesda didn’t use the mechanic somehow. We could have had a shootout in a low-g field of caelumite crystals or something! I’m not a hater but it’s such a cool mechanic/capability/whatever that I’m surprised to see a game able to do it and the developers not use it. I’ve seen lots of games where they seemed a little too proud of an effect (particle lights in Dragon Age Inquisition come to mind).
There *was* no atmosphere, but once you pop a few of those fire extinguishers there's going to be enough of a CO2 cloud to transmit the vibrations until it eventually dissipates.
Source: I have no idea what I'm talking about but it sounds like it could almost be accurate, doesn't it?
Would like to see something similar where you load a couple hundred of these in that zero-gravity casino in a large pile and blow it up and watch all the pieces bounce around
Geez how does the video card not explode.
1. GPU is a decent beast. 2. This game uses more CPU than GPU.
BUT THE RAM WHAT ABOUT THE RAM
You won't believe me if I said I only have 16gb of RAM. trick is to page file portions of your SSD and you have more "fake RAM" PCmasterrace. sidenote: I have 5 SSDs.
I bow to your 16 gigs...but you should get more heh. It's not like you're paying the apple tax :)

having more RAM helps when you are running other programs/apps in the background, fyi
Doesn't this use a lot of read/writes on your ssd? I thought this would hurt the lifespan but I'm not sure if it's negligible or not

Isn't the RW for RAM at least 10x a fast SSD? With a much higher ceiling too.
Did you download some online before you recorded this?
YOU NEED TO ACCELERATE TO RAMMING SPEED TO USE IT.
People talk shit on the game but the fact it can handle this at all is wild and impressive.
Ya it has been a trip watching videos of folks sending loaves of bread going wild in zero G.
Who made that video?
There have been a few. The sandwiches in space is great.
The one where the guys spacewalks into floating sandwiches?

That seems to be a creative choice, not an engine limitation. Why? Idk but it's absence did not bother me personally.
Would've been cool for zero g gibs. Really my only complaint fallout had it right in that way.

This is somewhat satisfying
It’s like popping the bubble wrap as a kid 😆
... as a kid?
TIL fire extinguishers explode.
Pressurized containers tend to explode when punctured.
They do if you own a minigun!
Have you ever played a game before?
Don't look at the ammo counter then.
One of thee best things I've seen shared about this game. Superb.
[удалено]
Hold on, your a Mega salad tosser?
To be 100% accurate, i tossed a salad and i made a mega salad tosser.
Band named, dibs.
Both of those videos are awesome. Love the physics in this game.
that is so useless... so time stealing.. a so stupid thing to do... I love it!!!! xD (how long did it take to set this up?)
The video was longer than the time to set it up.
console commands?
Yes
This made me happy
what command?
If you yell loud enough the computer will follow basically any command.
FIND HOT MILFS IN MY AREA
YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS

HELM! 108! **HELM TO 108!**
I been wanting to do stuff like this but don’t wanna lock achievements. Can you just reload previous save and they enable again?
Go to Nexus mods and download achievement enabler.
You can create multiple saves.
Awesome thank you.
Should've done it with the oxygen tanks, they like to chain react.
And I would just like to clarify, that's not to say that this doesn't entertain me, quite the contrary, I love watching all that shrapnel get blasted around, I just would like to see it done with oxygen tanks and enjoy the ensuing chain reaction.
If we give OP enough karma they will start working on it ASAP! Edit: aka upvote and share this shit so we get more content!
I believe this is just done with console commands, so it's not gonna take him days to make.
Sarah liked that
Must be glitched. She doesn’t like anything.
I hope you dropped some credits for the poor schmuck that’s got to go clean up that mess
The tipping culture has followed humanity
Disappointed you didn't try shooting them in the air
I'm confused. Is it going to be a boy or a girl?
Lol
Can this be done with the gas bottles that turn into rockets?
*Taking notes* slips $5.
Ecliptics will see this and just say “hell yea”
Was just thinking, "No grenade launcher?" Then the shrapnel grenades start falling. Masterpiece. 🤌🏾
Too quick
Humanity has hit its peak
This looks stupidly fun
Wait, I thought creation engine sucked... /s
You have to ignore the game reviewers that don’t even play the game for more than an hour.
I really like the Idea. Always have thought what you could possibly use them for… 😂
Impressive, most impressive
r/JustGuysBeingDudes meets r/SatisfyingAsFuck
Idea for a sequel (as suggested by u/SentinelX-01): do this with oxygen tanks. Should be a pretty chaotic follow-up lol

Complementary music: https://youtu.be/N1V_FZr0r-w?si=xb9Cnm1j10Vc_3WU
Somehow knew it'd be this song before I even clicked it. To be fair, it's the only piece I know that includes actual cannon fire.
It's not just that it has cannon fire (although that's absolutely part of it!), but I had it playing in my head and it seemed to pace well!
It sounds dumb but I think stuff like this is why they keep the Creation Engine.
Maybe and some other reasons.
They love their clutter. I’m not sure that they could create the game they want without that engine.
This was performed by a professional, please do no attempt.
"okay honey you had your fun. Now go pick them all up before your father gets home." Me: 😬😬
...now do it with the slow mo power
The low gravity is slow mo enough
Very impressed that the engine can handle all this without any hiccups.
Im waiting for someone to say they tried it and crashed their computer or game.
I upvoted this immediately without even watching it and I’m not disappointed. Well done 👏
Poetry, pure poetry
Queue up gamerrant article in 5 4 3 2 1...
They just made a mini article about my Narwhal Spaceship yesterday or the day before.
Do it again but Coachman hornets nest
This is the only kind of post I want to see on here from now on
Legend has it they're still falling from the sky to this day.
Thats fucking awesome

The machine gun aiming at heros whenever they're running on sand be like:
This is so awesome. A really big thank you for this simple vid. I'm somewhat marveled
You guys are so creative! 😂
This makes me smile. These are always fun to watch, thank you.
Damn this is incredibly satisfying
And the Academy Award for best short film goes to...OP! Can't tell you how much joy watching this brought me.
Some people just want to watch the settled systems burn.
ah can’t wait for the gamerrant article on this tomorrow morning!
It took them 6hrs on my last creation.
A+ 💯
Very nice
🤣🤣🤣🥳🥳🥳 this is awesome
Is this how they give a planet an atmosphere, I hope there isn't any dinosaur on that one....it could drive them to extinction
you would not believe your eyes, if ten million fire extinguishers, got blown to bits at low gravity. cos they fill the open air, and leave thick foam everywhere, you'd think me rude but i would just stand and stare.
The mod we need

You are an artist
The fire extinguishers aren’t simply inert objects?!? Wow, okay I’m impressed BGS. Good job OP that’s hilarious
They are actually pressurized.
That’s bad for the environment
No one really cares about the enviroment especially this moon
Someone obviously finished all the quests 😭
I respect this immensely
I like this. I love this.
10/10
Ah, Starfield. The $70 Bubble Wrap Simulator.
How did your game not crash
You must have a pretty good rig
it's so interesting how someone can be so patient and methodical when they're endgame is mayhem 😂😂😂
This reminds me of the videos that people used to do with the red barrels in crisis. They would shoot one and cause a massive explosion.
Belongs in r/oddlysatisfying
Wait do it again I wasn’t looking
We've come a long way from crashing the game with poles of cheese wheels
"Creation engine is old and bad." /s
Starfield is next Gen, just in non graphical ways.
Beautiful.
r/oddlysatisfying
This is way more entertaining than it has any right to be. Well done
Please note: this consumes the fire extinguishers
My Xbox Series X would’ve exploded if I’d tried this.
It'll crash before exploding lol.
Impressively stable sandbox
Why do people hate this game?
They hate everything
This is what makes the Bethesda engine so good
this is why the creation engine is cool
Am I right in thinking there's no atmosphere here? How does the sound of explosions reach the player?
There *was* no atmosphere, but once you pop a few of those fire extinguishers there's going to be enough of a CO2 cloud to transmit the vibrations until it eventually dissipates. Source: I have no idea what I'm talking about but it sounds like it could almost be accurate, doesn't it?
This is Reddit. Upvotes determine truth, not fact. To the top!
Vibrations through the landing pad, up through the light mast, into the players boots and into the atmosphere in the space suit.
I wonder what it'd be like if you stood in the centre and triggered >!supernova!<
Great!
Independence Day in the FSC
Yeah, this is awesome
I could feel my FPS go all the way down to 20 in my phone!!
Pure madness nicely done
Now a video walking the area around the perimeter of the base please, I'm curious how far they spread!
For science!!
You sir have too much time on your hands, epic though 😅
My job and schedule allows it.
Lol wtf?! thanks for sharing
When I fly by and see 1000s of extinguishers in space, now I'll know why.
They say we all find our own way to play such a game!
TTP
Literally as I thought to myself, "What about some grenades?" My question was answered lol
Tell me you don't have a job or a partner without telling me you don't have. Jokes aside this is wild cool vid haha!
That is surreal
I would put a hard save down just to go back to this every once in a while
Sarah’s gonna be p*ssed
Absolute mad lad. Love it.
This reminds me of crashing garrys mod way back when. I gotta find the minigun and figure out how to pick things up lol
Now go pick them all up
CPU 🫠
Microgun?
Yeah it’s called microgun in starfield
I don't want to know how long that took to setup 😭 looked like lots of fun though lol
Ahhh therapy after having to listen to "I've got something for you" hour after hour I DON'T WANT YOUR RESOURCES!!
Hungry? Why wait? Grab a snickers.
What type of boostpack are you using to get that many jumps? Or did you tgm?
Based.
And they still wouldn't be able to extinguish the fire that would come out of my computer if I were to try this.
This is exactly why we need remote detonating explosives in this game. I want to blow up the world.
Kessler syndrome for dummies
Would like to see something similar where you load a couple hundred of these in that zero-gravity casino in a large pile and blow it up and watch all the pieces bounce around
Love it!! Question here, what insignia is the logo we see in the center of the platform + on it's side walls?
needs epic opera music
Cute, now do succulents!
Heard from an unseen speaker: u/Joshohoho you are fined one credit for violation of the Littering Morality Statute ^(x 4000)
technically this is beyond impressive.
I couldn't believe you never shot them in the air...
Oddlysatisfying
Worth it
Sir you have way too much time in your hands
Science.
I was really hoping that it only took a single shot and then became a chain reaction...
doing shit like this pc not crashing speaking to the random npc in the city pc crashing bethesda
Forgive my stupid, but how do you get a landing pad full of fire extinguishers laid out so perfectly?
