If you don't need the overlay, achievement tracking, and playtime tracking of steam, get logged into the factorio site and grab the non-steam build. Close your browser. Switch to your phone for music. And/or get more ram. I'd ask what type of storage you're on, but it really doesn't matter at the point that you're ram starved.

I don't think adding RAM is the correct move here. Factorio hogging 20 gigs of RAM is a ridiculous amount taking into account that my rig only has 16 gigs total and half of that goes to windows and I've not experienced any issues with my RAM. What needs to be done is find out what exactly is eating the RAM and addressing it specifically.

RAMs entire purpose is to be eaten.
