    1.6.4 Chunk Complexity (SSP) (Monster)

    When I disabled that setting, the effect was pretty immediate. Instantly a huge portion of the lag disappeared. I noticed in my debug screen that GameRenderer is now a significantly larger portion, and I'm guessing that's at least partly because of all the fences. But, I definitely do not need...

    1.6.4 Chunk Complexity (SSP) (Monster)

    Fences are server-intensive? I actually had no idea. Is that exclusive to fences, or does that apply to many/all half/micro blocks? Guess it's time to get a wand of equal exchange and fix that, since it's an easy fix. The MFR sound option is also an easy fix that I wouldn't miss at all. Either...

    1.6.4 Chunk Complexity (SSP) (Monster)

    Apologies for the double post, but I actually wanted someone's opinion on this. So, that's my potato farm. It's three 9x9 segments with Lilypads of Fertility in the center, all on top of Fertilized Dirt. The growth rate is pretty high. So that's 240 potential chunk updates with wildly...

    1.6.4 Chunk Complexity (SSP) (Monster)

    This is a possibility. My mob spawner, while not very large, does use conveyor belts to push multiple mobs in front of an MFR grinder. I have plenty of essence, so I may just shut it down for a little while, and see if that helps. Additionally, I have a tree breeding box with a number of...

    1.6.4 Chunk Complexity (SSP) (Monster)

    Well, I have a mob farm, but it shouldn't be overly-intensive. I just needed enough essence to run the occasional Endermen or Blaze grinder, depending on what I needed. The mob farm is just an old-school natural mob spawn dark area where the mobs are transported to a grinder. It's very...

    1.6.4 Chunk Complexity (SSP) (Monster)

    So, I've been playing on my world for awhile now, and unsurprisingly, I've begun to notice a bit of... well, the best way I can describe it is view-drag. My fps is fine for the most part, but occasionally when I'm looking around or turning, I get a laggy sensation, almost like my mouse is...

    Tree Breeding in 1.6.4

    Yeah, probably. Either way, it's a moot point. I continued breeding the White Willows with Silver Limes and finally got a Silver Lime sapling with High Saplings, Fast Maturity, and Larger Height. There might be less saplings per tree, but Silver Limes are tall rather than wide like white...

    Tree Breeding in 1.6.4

    Unfortunately, no. Trust me when I say that I nearly crapped a brick when I saw how many vines were being produced, and that was the first thing I tried. It may be possible in different versions of the mod, but in 1.6.4, the BioReactor definitely does not accept vines as viable material. Given...

    Tree Breeding in 1.6.4

    For the sake of documentation that may help someone else, I found the tree I was looking for. White Willows, a tree you will be able to breed on your way to Balsas, are the ONLY 'Faster Maturity' trait tree that is also dominant. If you are looking to breed a tree with balsas that will give you...

    Tree Breeding in 1.6.4

    Yeah, I actually saw the reddit thread on my first round of google searching. I was confused because instead of breeding his hybrids with purebreds, he crossbred two different hybrids over and over until they turned into pure bred saplings with the traits he wanted. That's what initially caused...

    Tree Breeding in 1.6.4

    Ah, nah. Yeah, with my set up, I'm not quite able to automate bees, so I decided to just box in my trees and let butterflies do the work. Really all I'm wondering I guess is if a hybrid tree can successfully breed with a pure bred. Because right now I have Silver-Lime/Apple Oak hybrids...

    Tree Breeding in 1.6.4

    So, I've gotten fairly far into tree breeding. The original plan was to crossbreed balsa and a hybrid silver lime I had that had a larger trait with high sapling drop rate. However, for whatever reason, the butterflies I'm using absolutely refused to cross pollinate pure balsas and hybrid silver...

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    I haven't played FTB since before Monster was a modpack, and today I discovered that Thermal Expansion added something called Itemducts that have applicable filters that have completely revolutionized my storage system, and have radically simplified my automatic jetpack recharger. I also forgot...

    (SSP)(1.6.4) Monster v. 1.1.2 Crafting/Block-placing inventory issue

    Ah, well by that I mean I won't have that fix until I update to a more recent modpack. I'm well aware that no mods in 1.6.4 can be expected to receive any updates or bugfixes. Either way, it's not a huge loss. I looked into the mod because it seemed more interesting than just using portal guns...

    (SSP)(1.6.4) Monster v. 1.1.2 Crafting/Block-placing inventory issue

    I was actually doing a bit of testing and noticed that the problem wasn't occuring as soon as I loaded in. My inventory operated perfectly for a little while. After some more investigating, I learned that it was only after accessing an EnHancedPortals interface that the inventory bug started...
