Server address: emptybit.de (default port, whitelisted, hard difficulty, mobGriefing off)
Server hardware: VPS hosted in Germany, 8 GB RAM, 2 3.2GHz CPU
Mumble server: emptybit.de (default port)

About the server
The goal is to provide a lag and stress free Feed The Best experience. This means great machine setups and automation, which sadly means a certain strain on server resources. To keep lag in check some plugins are disabled (see below) and the number of active players will need to be limited.

Server rules
Normal rules of life apply.
No griefing
Consensual pvp only. If there are any problems, I will have to turn it off again.
Mature play (18+). I cannot verify age, so behavior is the judge.

Added mods:
AppliedEnergistics
BiblioCraft
ChargePads
ModularPowersuits
NetherOres
ThaumicBees
tubestuff

Disabled mods:
Soulshards (having custom spawners is great at first, but it takes away from exploring and discovering spawners; the spawn frequency and ability to spawn without player in rage can be terrible for the server)

Removed Items:
Uncrafting Table
Train Workbench
Portal Gun
Longfall Boots
Canvas Bag

Misc Q&A
Backup situation?
Currently a 5min file system mirror and 30 min duplicity backup.

Chunk loading situation?
Everyone may use one chunkloader (from ChickenChunks mod) at default range without upkeep. Any extra chunk loading has to be done with world anchors (from Railcraft). I ask you not to automatically refill the anchors with ender pearls, so that if a person leaves for more than a week, the chunks will no longer be loaded.

Is there any griefing protection?
Extensive logs to verify grief reports. Griefing is not tolerated.
The mods offer various grief protection methods: force fields (removed their touch damage/forcicium requirement), warded blocks from Thaumcraft, and safes.

No shiny from scrap?
A large extruder+recycler setup is nice and all, but it also skips a large part of the game, because you are given all these items. I think it may be fun actually having to spend the time to acquire them. Who knows, maybe someone on the server made a farm for one item and is missing something else.

Forestry hard?
I felt it was a little too easy to get biomass. Forestry hard basically configures how much biomass is produced. At the same time, bees produces alot of good things, so they need more time to do so.

How about quarries?
Quarries are definitely allowed. From a balance perspective, they are in line with turtles and they are expensive enough to make for what extra setup convenience they provide.
Size is what matters here. I would like to limit them to only load 9 chunks as well, so they are in line with other chunk loaders/world anchors. Nine chunks minus some processing/chest space is still a huge quarry.

What about mystcraft?
Mystcraft is not currently part of the Mindcrack pack and it's not running on the server. I am not very familiar with the mod, but if we were to add it, mining would need to be in line with the overworld. I am also not a fan of teleports (linking books would do that). Loads/unloads a bunch of chunks each time, which can't be the best for the server.

No Train workbench?
Sadly TrainCraft mod is a little buggy and not balanced with the other mods. It allows converting 3 iron into 8 steel, which then could be turned back into 7 iron using Thaumcraft, ... You get the idea. If someone wants to make something besides steel that requires it, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me. I will trade or set up a trade station.

I have a question?
Ask away and I'll expand this section

Some tweaks:

• Added the induction smelter again, because I overlooked that it makes hardened glass, which cannot be made another way. Instead disabled the platinum dust recipe from GregTech.
• Removed the RP2 gem replacement ore generator, because I did not like the way this was handled. May do something similar once RP2 has proper config for it.
• Added a file download with the modified config files, in case someone would like to update their client, so that NEI shows the correct recipes.

Why you would like to join:Two reasons: I started playing on servers about a month ago and it is alot more enjoyable to have someone see what you do rather than just looking at it yourself and being on a server makes playing alot less laggy.

Right on time, was just about to head towards bed. I'm in the process of setting up some community buildings at spawn. Help yourself at the food before heading out to find a nice spot to set up, if you like.

Absolutely agree that it is more fun with more people.
Welcome to the server.

We just finished setting up some community buildings close to spawn to make it easier for new folks to join in.

Looking for a couple more players of all time zones.

Why you would like to join: I've played Minecraft, Technic, and FTB for awhile now on single-player, and I'd love to get in on the multiplayer aspect with some good people. I've also recently taught myself LUA to write a handy Turtle program, so I would consider myself semi-proficient in CC.
