I've always been bummed out that there is only one type of 'sign' in the entire game.

For all that FTB has, there's still plenty of room to grow in the simplest ways.

The lag on the server is terrible...

Any ideas of what is causing it?

Seems like its been having some trouble lately.

You went into warp speed and I lost you there...

It's not TPS (Ticks per second) lag (i.e the lag you get when someone makes some machine or system that slows the server to a crawl).

It appears to be network lag and it's not constant, but happens frequently at regular intervals.

I haven't had time to investigate it thoroughly, however, the quick checks I ran the other day turned up nothing. The bandwidth is normal, not maxed out. It was happening when only a couple of people were connected, so it's not hitting some kind of player limit. There were only a couple of active TCP connections (matching the player connections), so it doesn't appear to be anything running in the background. I need to determine whether it's just the Unleashed server that's affected, or the vanilla one too, or the entire hardware host.

Pretty sure it shouldn't be me creating the lag, I don't really have much in the way of crazy machines setup.

Then again I did recently make some adv golems so maybe they are up to mischief.

We don't have a crazy machine setup either. Hell, at the moment, we don't even have a quarry running (Though we might soon).

Dark, the Vanilla one was running fine yesterday while I was on, if that's any help to your cause

If you do /tps during one of the lag spikes, you do get a readout indicating that something is wrong with TPS:


If you don't do it during one of the lag spikes, it seems normal:


Note that something is wrong with the Overworld, but it's still affecting me in Twilight Forest. Nobody else was on at the time the screenshots were taken, and I'm not in Overworld, so it's probably someone's chunkloaded contraption somewhere and not player-loaded.

Thanks for the Absolutionis. I did do that during one of the lag spikes, but maybe I missed it. With that I can probably start to find the cause.

....and done!

Blame Gaskan_Comrade, for his Centrifuges could not keep up with his bees' produce.

Gaskan, I've turned off the autarchic gate on the ender chest for now.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Scratch that, not fixed.

Gaskan, your ME system is full and stuff is spewing all over the floor....

Agh! sorry!
I had a sinking feeling it was gonna be me. Ill log on here in a sec and fix up stuff.

I think an unexpected item clogged up the transport node


EDIT::

All fixed. Shouldnt happen again, as Ive doubled my ME storage capacity and revamped my stone processor to pump straight into a DSU

Only doubled?

Doubled from 18 16k drives + 2 64k drives to 36 16k and 4 64k?

It's sporadically lagging again.

EDIT: Yep, the same lag is back. I blame Ramos Gaskan Asura Komrade.

Lies!

Lies, deceit, and treachery!

Lies, deceit, treachery, betrayal.... erm.... lies...



*ahem*

Well, its not me. I double checked all my systems, and everything seems to be operating at efficiency.
Dark might find something, but from my end, everything checks out.

I get lag spikes here too, so I feel your pain.


And Grundz: Polish System is up and running on Ender Chest "Brown White Brown"
Lots and lots of wood polish now.

Gaskan, I've added a chunkloader to your base.

I think the issue was that you have things coming in from other chunkloaded locations (such as quarries, and your bee place). But your base itself was not chunk loaded. This was leading to repeated loading and unloading of chunks around your base.

This seems to have fixed the lag and it explains why you don't notice the problem when you're online (because your player loads the chunks).

Because the chunkloader belongs to me, you can't adjust it, so let me know when you're next on and I'll remove it and you can place your own.

In your bee place, I've added some gold pipes to speed up the items in the pipes, as some were moving extremely slowly.

I also replaced your advanced crafting table with a cyclic assembler. I'm not sure what was going on, but the lasers were making a lot of calls to the server even though they weren't doing anything. The lasers and crafting table are in a chest behind the cyclic assembler. The cyclic assembler is set to craft the impregnated frames and I've tested it and it's working.

ahhhh And I continue to break things ><



Really shouldn't be a loading issue, as I've a chunk loader already covering the base- Its tucked away in the warded stone ME room, so that'd explain why you didnt see one.

Gold pipes in the bee area sounds good, thanks. I was planning on doing it, but got sidetracked with other projects. (happens too often)
Cyclic assembler is fine too, and might actually work better than the crafting table. Again, thanks. I hadnt even thought of it.


Hmm... Would the Assembly table at my home base be one of the issues? It has the most lasers by far, and recently ive seen it stuttering a lot more...
*goes off to investigate*

You logged off, but I've removed my chunk loader. Maybe try breaking and replacing yours and make sure it has no redstone signal nearby. The lag issues definitely stopped when I added a chunkloader.

The lasers at your place seem fine, it seemed to specifically be an issue with the ones at the bee place. They looked fine to me, probably just bugged out somehow.

my wall design isnt entirely my own, i watch loads of Sjin's various Let's Build series and just borrowed bits and pieces from different builds. in Tekkit i was trying to make my area not look as booring as my Vanilla area does and in FTB i went a bit further. i do have loads of cool things planned as Sjin's work really gave me some good inspiration and ideas on how to make structures look better

Gaskan, you really need to work on this lag situation. As soon as you logged out after the server restart, it started lagging.

I really cant do anything about it :/

Ive shut down stuff, and my quarries arent even running now!
Everything is chunk loaded so thats not a problem...


Really I've nearly zero things running. All thats going are simple alveary stuff and the mob grinder. And those generally run without issue...


if I knew what to fix, Id fix it, man. :(


EDIT:
Aaaand I cant log in to mess with things anyways :/
Sorry dudes. Ive no idea.

Yeah seems the server has had another heart attack lol.

...nope...

I'm pretty sure the issue is to do with chunk loading at Gaskan's place. The lag spikes were completely gone when I put a chunkloader there and left. However, by the sounds of it, since I've removed my chunkloader, Gaskan's chunkloader still isn't working for some reason.

One possible reason could be that Gaskan has too many chunkloaders and has hit the 5000 chunk limit. But that's a lot of chunks, it's almost so many that it might as well not be a limit at all. I'd find it hard to believe there are that many chunks being loaded across all players, let alone for one person.

Gaskan, did you break and replace the chunkloader? Is it set to 5 square (or whatever it takes to cover your base)? I placed my chunkloader in the centre of your liquids area as that seemed central-ish to your base. Maybe the chunkloader in your ME room is not quite central and is leaving some section of the base unloaded?

I can help out later this evening to try to resolve this, even if the best I can do is leave a chunkloader there permanently.

I have a lot of chunkloaders, but nowhere near 500 chunks...

I did break and replace the loader after last time. And all the settings are as they should be.
The ME room -should- be centralized. Ill try putting the loader in that tank room and see if that helps at all.

Im really sorry guys. i dunno what the heck is going on. Very little has changed in my base this past week, so it should be operating just like normal!

Hey Gaskan, I checked and I can't see any problem on the server.

There are no lag spikes and I went to your place and your chunkloaders are working.

If anything, the server performance seems at an all time high, but that might just be because I'm the only one on right now

Ok, so for the last two server restarts, Gaskan's chunkloaders weren't working. This is very odd (especially as other people's chunkloaders were working - I tested 4ourswords) and it's making me think that perhaps the Chunkloader data files are partially corrupt.

For now I've placed my own chunkloader back at Gaskan's place and this is working to prevent the lag spikes.

I'm going to see if there's a way to view, edit or at least check the Chunkloader data files for problems and if not, I'll test what happens if the files are deleted and recreated (i.e. by placing down the chunkloaders again).

I'm sorry for raging...

Maybe the update hosed something? Perhaps the old chunkloaders were not compatible? maybe they need remade under the new update? Remember the neutral mobs all respawned?

I picked up liquid silver in a bucket. Now I keep crashing every time I try to connect to the server. I hope this won't affect anyone else.

Crash report is saying::

at mods.tinker.tconstruct.items.FilledBucket.func_77617_a(FilledBucket.java:159)

Definitely the bucketing.
