I ran into a similar situation upon accidentally removing the -XX:MaxPermSize=356m command from my start script. Lowering the permgen might very well decrease performance. I run a small server with a modpack nearly identical to Monster (176 mods) and, 356m of permgen is my sweet spot. You...

ME Storage Cells make for fantastic overflow buffers. They're also useful as item catchers should a given storage device fill up mid recipe. When your factory borders on several thousand recipes and well over a thousand me cables you never quite know what might happen. I always keep a drive full...

This works perfectly, though I figured I'd expand upon it by suggesting that you also set the storage priority of the DSU higher then the ME Drive. This will ensure that the cobble always finds its way to the DSU.

It sounds like your host may be overselling their hardware. This is common when dealing with shared hosting. I can't imagine the type of hardware they would need to be running if they're struggling to maintain a barely populated server. I'm hosting on a budget VPS plan that totals a whopping...

I'm not sure why anyone bothers with sub-networks. They have to be the most inefficient way of dealing with multiple inputs in the entire ecosystem of mods. This works flawlessly, beyond that it supports a near endless array of machines: http://i.imgur.com/xtD51nr.png...

Having spent quite a bit of time using both I'd have to say that Applied Energistics is a far more powerful auto crafting solution. Not only does it poses a higher fault tolerance, it can handle NBT data with item ghosting. Logistics Pipe's auto crafting struggles pretty badly with damaged...

I did exactly as Bagman suggested. Heat up your boilers using fuel then, use that power to run a farm or two for biofuel production. Don't be afraid to adjust the fuel values in the Railcraft.cfg file. Liquid fuel received a bit of a nerf, which I personally augmented by giving liquid fuels an...

That's why I always keep a pair of longfall boots equipped when building in the sky, or nanosuit boots and, their quantum equivalents. I like to build my bases inside of landmarks, such as giant mountains. It gives them a more natural, disguised look when viewed from the outside. It can even...

Grab MCPC+, I've been using it since 1.4.6 with few problems to speak of. World Edit is a wonderful tool I couldn't imagine living without. There's also the option of MFFS's sponge module, provided you have MFFS installed and, enabled.

Back when I used to stream I ran a server for my viewers. Let me tell you, the "joy" of involving those that watch your stream just isn't what you end up expecting it to be. The ends will never justify the means and, you end up feeling rather used when all is said and done. Some of my own...

You should take a peak at the console logs the next time you're booting your game. There's a wealth of amusing phrases in there, usually involving Greg. Here's a few gems:

I like to upscale everything to 32x anyways. It's difficult for my eyes to focus on 16x textures on my large monitor without straining. I understand how preference works but, how can something so incredibly detailed be considered terrible? If anything, I think more mods should adapt their...

People used to say, hell still say the same thing about IC2. I love Buildcraft and, I'm glad it's still active and growing. Hell, the recent changes to the filler are fantastic enough. No longer do I need to carry bricks or glass on me. It's far easier for people to understand how the filler...

It only took four years for the developers to figure out that having to map literally thousands of ids manually was a bad idea. Then there are those crazy folk that insist that Forge will auto-map ids who should take a big fat look at my three thousand block/item long list of mapped ids. Good...

In a single player world, you are your own balancing mechanic. As modded Minecraft continues to grow, multiplayer modded servers become increasingly common and, steps to balance for multiplayer must be taken. Mystcraft is a fantastic utility mod that opens up thousands of possibilities for a...

Strangely enough, one of the newer features of Thermal Expansion I'd originally felt might irritate me has become one of its most appreciated additions. Players not running a server seldom encounter the kind of tick rate destroying lag several large power networks can wreak so this may not...

I came to the same conclusion sadly. Thanks for the reply though, it reassures me that I made the right decision. For me, the Linux OOM Killer running through openvz kept killing the java process. After searching through some logs I found the message oom killed (java) (bunch of numbers). For...

This isn't a problem with a perticular FTB pack so, I'm not posting it in support. I am however, hoping that a member of this community might be able to help me identify what exactly is happening here. I've always had issues getting my server to boot on my Linux VPS due to the server...

Grabbed this one the instant I saw your post, thanks for the timely release!

This post pretty much sums it up in terms of steel. You can also power the bronze blast furnace with coal coke or charcoal just like the Railcraft blast furnace. It is EXTREMELY slow though so, you're going to want to build several. I like to use the steam compressor to make blocks of coal then...
