So, I have been looking at new mods to add to Monster, and remembered Dartcraft giving an easier mid-tier time with the world. I am looking to add it to my server, but I am still worried it is too overpowered, like it was in Ultimate. (Or Unleashed, I forget which had it).

So, because of this, I ask all of you: Is it still overpowered? Does it work with Monster? I noticed that it /does not/ have a config file automatically with Monster, which worried me.

Overpowered is subjective, but to me it is. And yes, it should work with Monster if you use the 1.6.4 version, but you will have to fix any ID conflicts that might arise.

Well, since it is going on a server with Banitems, I have the capability to ban some things. Which parts expressively are overpowered?

As I said, overpowered is very subjective. I'm the type of player that uses heavily modified configs including finite water and custom recipes. You should play with it yourself to make your own judgements. But, banning items tends to upset players. You should find out what kind of playerbase you have and cater to that instead of forcing playstyles onto them. Or, find players that enjoy your playstyle. For example, it would be a poor idea to force hardmode settings on a casual userbase.

"overpowered' differs from person to person. It's honestly all about opinion and self control. Time torches speed up things sure but they also still cost the same amount of energy to run a quarry etc
Lol magical crops :p

Not to mention the already-mentioned performance problems they create.

I have not used them on magical crops as I already realized that would be a really silly idea and mostly broken. I don't want to have an ee2 energy collector making diamonds from a plant.

As other have touched on, Time Torches are very powerful, but OP? Not hardly. Now, cross-mod interaction with magical crops, yeah, don't suggest 'em there. Also don't suggest using magical crops in any case, mind you.
The whole Time Upgrade is very powerful, but then again, like almost everything in DartCraft, very well balanced and highly configurable.
Want them to be for super end game users only? That's a option. Want to disable the torches? Totally game. Make them only work from 1 block away? Can be done, but it cuts all range on special force torches.

I wish I could give you a massive golden star.

Magical Crops with Lilypad of Fertility and Ritual of Green Grove (from Blood Magic) can give you so much resources so you can build a Star Destroyer out of Emerald blocks

That's only two.

My magically broken crops farm currently uses 6 growth enhancers from 6 different mods.

If I had dartcraft installed it would be 7 :p

That reminds me; one can disable time implements as growth enhancers by disabling their ability to add block update ticks.

You...shall not...pass!

Geostrata tile accelerators are so cute, how could you even dream of nerfing such a thing :(
