I'm fine without Mystcraft. Maybe people will actually take advantage of the other travel mechanics. Maybe Railcraft might even *gasp* be used to make rails, instead of just as a convenient Steel source!

Ever since I started playing multiplayer Minecraft, I've dreamt of a community-wide, fully functional rail system- not just booster tracks and single-slant loading stations, but proper, full fledged, two-track long platform sending entire trains around rail system.

**Minx**

Apart from Thaumcraft i like all the mods in Monster. I am not sure if i'd like to limit myself to just a few mods.
Are there specific mods that are causing issues, like ATG during exploration? And if those issues are mainly on the client side perhaps there are config options and/or building rules, e.g. separating stuff and not building in just one chunk, to alleviate them somewhat.

@Anvildude: A map-wide rail system sounds awesome. It might need quite a lot of loaded chunks though and i am not sure how that would affect performance.

**SagesStone**

I like it too, but I don't even get to stay connected to it anymore. Had the sacrificial dagger take all my health instead of the one heart I clicked and disconnected after it, couldn't connect again to try to get my stuff so just given up with this for now.

Now I'm trying to keep my FTL crew from bursting into flames.

This is still a good point. What guarantee do we have that a new modpack will fix the problems?

**Melissia**

Because the problems started when we switched to Monster.

So the problems could be due to either Monster, specific mod(s) in Monster, specific blocks/machines, or modded Minecraft 1.6 in general? It might be helpful if we could narrow it down somewhat.

I am not really experiencing prolonged problems apart from excessive bandwidth usage from larger RotaryCraft installations (all gone now that i have removed all of those machines/blocks) and trouble with a too large number of bees in either the bee indexer or filing cabinets (solved with AE disks and recycling of unused bees).

**4oursword**

I'm having very few problems also. I am using a fairly weak PC, so don't have a high render distance and don't use a resource pack. It's no biggie- any lag is down to my internet.

**cptprice0330**

hows about carpenters blocks as well as chisel, assuming we create our own mod pack

i've planned on doing that on the monster and unleashed modded servers and never got round to it, mainly due to it being useless

also you can have trains load themselves, so they only load the chunk there in and the chunk ahead of them from what i can tell i testing

**Absolutionis**

I'm pretty sure it's just ATG that's causing the problem. I was flying around Twilight Forest earlier and loading new chunks was easy and smooth. It all seems that extreme lag and crashes occur when new chunks are explored.

Cherry-picking specific mods is too much of a conservative approach. Monster is interesting. I haven't been able to play with Rotarycraft and EnderIO yet, and they seem interesting. I hear Mariculture is a grind, but it at least has new stuff. QCraft is a thing too, I guess... New stuff is interesting and fun, and it'd be a shame to exclude something just because we haven't tried it.

**4oursword**

^ This, really. Also what Minx said.

**Melissia**

Whatever it is, I can't play with a few people I'd like to play with, which makes this particular version we're playing a bummer.

**4oursword**

All this said, has anyone else tried the newest version of Monster? It seems to run quicker and smoother for me in single player.

**4oursword**

Anyone know if there's a way to automate Alkahest's ability to turn items into their reagent? I tried in Ultimate with no luck, but such an ability would be powerful if automated.

As in making glowstone and redstone dust? I would imagine its easier to gather by using magical crops.

**4oursword**

Nah, I meant using the item Alkahest (which is disabled in Monster 1.0.9). Craft items with it to dissolve them and get a reagent that you can use to duplicate items with the Tome.

**Matt.Kingsley**

Ok, this isn't about the server but it is about feed the beast...
Has anyone tried Agrarian Skies or Blood 'n Bones yet?

As far as I understand, you just shove in the Tome with redstone (sometimes lapis) to duplicate stuff. What is this reagent you're talking about?

The current Tome is pretty much disabled anyways.

**4oursword**

Craft the item Alkahest with most vanilla materials to get an item you can use to dupe things. Like, Alkahest+1 stack of dirt gives a redstone. It's not in any version of monster as far as I can tell.

@Matt.Kingley- I did some Ag Skies, but got bored of the grind quite quickly. I never seemed to have enough food.

Also, Mushroom castle. I hadn't seen this before- is there any goodies in there?

If you're looking for redstone, you could just set up a Magical Crops farm or a Bloodwood Tree farm.

Unfortunately not. There are some walkways, but that seems to be it.

Same case with the snowy areas and the "Aurora Block" towers. They look pretty with some interiors, but are otherwise blank.

**4oursword**

Aye, I do have a redstone farm already. I just like to look into alternatives.

Can anyone tell me what's up with this setup? From the thaumonomicon's information, I can't see why this is venting gas :(

Yes, I know. I'm using Thaumcraft things. Shock horror

**Melissia**

I don't honestly know what it's intended to do.

Maybe putting a few more jars would help?

**Grey Templar**

Probably just a visual effect.

**4oursword**

Apparently, venting steam means that there are too many places which are trying to "suck" the essentia. That's why there's only one jar- when I put down 9, I had the same problem.

**Grey Templar**

Etho had a system with multiple jars and each marked for a specific essentia. So you can pump it directly to where you need it/store it so you don't have to manually do it.

I don't know if he did a tutorial for how he set it up.

**Melissia**

The problem might be the item pipe then. It's sitting in front of the alembic, which means the alembic is trying to pump in to it.

**4oursword**

I only need the one (Herba) so I don't know how viable that is, but I will try to take a look at Etho's stuff

No luck with your solution, Melissa- has anyone on the server got Lamps Of Growth set up? I think there's a way to use mirrors...

Should the Alembic even recognize it as a viable output? Seems like it should only be an input option.

**Melissia**

I dunno, Thaumcraft is weird.

**cptprice0330**

4 its new thaumcraft stuff the pipe is broken, from what i understand pipes now have a complex pressure system. There borky, use golems.

**4oursword**

le sigh. How do I that? I mean, the piping seemed to work- and that was on the newest Monster. I might just need to do one-to one alembic-jar-lamp links.
