I installed 3.2.1 and can't believe how good the fps/tps is in comparison to departed which is a much smaller pack. Very impressed
I went with default which is highlands which I'm assuming (and sorta worried) is the reason for this. Assuming AOA doesn't let mobs spawn in highlands specific biomes? I haven't seen any but have slept each night through so far. Worried that I might have to regen world at this point but if highlands incorporates vanilla biomes as well, then that will be great if I can build a house near spawn for free chunkloading in addition to no AOA spawns to worry about as well.
Overall, I'm one of the dissenters that agrees that AOA is more fun with some tech mods in the mix. Some friends and I played departed on our server and yeah, we had fun but the storage and the mob spawning issues were so bad that none of us completely finished. I think I came closest to getting through the entire aoa tree but I ended up in a dimension where if u look at a mob, all ur stuff drops and I died from falling, and when I came back, because of no graves, a bunch of my stuff had despawned as well, including 2 of my botania relics which were irreplaceable thus I rage quit.
This, so far is pretty fun and I'm eager to play with am2 and aether, so thanks alot for making this pack.
