Improve FPS on Agrarian Skies

[Anataboshi]

Hello

I know this might have been asked a few times now, i've made my researches on the net, but I still need help.

So I'm playing Agrarian skies, I'm quite far in the quest book, but with all the things i've created, I'm starting to get really laggy. My fps are at most 10, and that's when I do nothing. When I'm smelting things, or do anything, my fps drop really low, and it's now almost impossible to play on my map.

So I would like to know what to do, i've already put all my settings on the lowest, and I don't really know what to do more than that.

Here's my PC config :

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460
Inter Core i5 CPU 650 @ 3.20GHz
4Gb of RAM
Windows 7 64b

Is my PC really too low for Agrarian Skies, or is there anything I can do to get at least 30fps and be able to play normaly?

Crucibles are reknown for causing massive FPS lag. Also, Openblocks tanks aren't great either in the performance department.

Oh, I see ! I'm indeed using about 20 crucibles for lava, to produce energy, so I should find an other way to produce a lot of energy.

I think I will try to change this for now, thank you.

I highly suggest switching to Big Reactors for power.

I see, thank you ! I've already created a reactor, but I'm not using it because I don't really understand this mod. Do you have any guide on how to use it?

Theres tons of guides on it, and several spotlights on it on youtube. For example, this one.

Thanks a lot for you help !

So i've been using the big reactor now, and there have been some improvement, but now that i've gotten further in the quest book, and I have many things working at the same time, I still get low fps, is it due to my PC? I really don't know what to do to play, i still have low fps

I'm thinking it's because of all the entities, i have a lot a cows for sewage/milk, plus my mob farm, many villagers for my blood altar, and I guess that's what keeping my fps low, is there any solution to have, other than killing them all?

I tend to run my mob/villager farms only when I need them. Also, you really don't need that many livestock once you've finished the quests that need them. I'd try and kill a bunch of them.

If you want to know, make a backup of your world and kill them all. See if things improve, restore your world and decide based on your tests. Also, I recall that in his Agrarian Skies LP, PurpleMentat said the smooth lighting setting has a drastic effect on fps. If you can stand the look (I can't), lower smooth lighting and increase general brightness to remove the resulting checkerboard patterns.

I'd recommend creating infrastructure to not finish a quest within record time, but design lots of different set ups to slowly complete lots of quests in parallel. That's been good for keeping lag levels down and frame rate high for me

Your graphics settings usually have a huge impact on performance. When my FPS starts to drop, I usually dial down the settings, starting with lighting and particle effects. The render distance can also make a huge difference, though you'd have to have a massive base already to have much of it beyond "normal" view distance.
