  |  | #REDIRECT[[Time#Ticks]]  | 
 | A game-tick or just "tick" is 1/60 of a [[Game-second]].
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | Everything in Factorio is calculated with that base. For example the speed of anything is internally calculated in [[Tile]]/tick.
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | Because calculations depend on the speed of your computer, this means, that in [[Time|real-time]] a tick can last longer, for example, when the game stops, while saving, or the CPU is too slow to compute all needed updates in this time.
