That will always happen at some point regardless of how you set it up. If you give it too little ram, MC will likely eventually crash, and even if it doesn't, GC sweeps will be more aggressive trying to clear out RAM which causes stutter. If you give it too much RAM, MC and it's 10000 memory leaks will eventually fill the entire allocation even if it's 64GB (I tried this once, literally. It filled all 64GB) and the GC sweeps will have to go through ALL that ram and that will cause stutters. It's a damned if you do damned if you don't type situation.

For most packs 2GB-3.5GB is the "sweet spot" where it'll run fine for the longest period. Don't give it more than 3.5GB with any pack though. It'll just make it worse.
I started to get serious pauses any time a gui was supposed to appear in regrowth; it was worst when I clicked on a crafting table next to a chest or tried to put a lot of items into the drawer controller at once. Not sure if it's memory related or if it was just a bug, and persisted across game loads but it fixed when completely restarted.

If it's fixed when you completely restart, it is almost certainly a memory related problem. Relogging doesn't clear the ram at all.

Relogging will actually make it worse because as mentioned it not only doesn't clear the ram, but it actually clogs it more by holding ram from the old "process" (which is now mostly useless) and still reloading all the same things into new ram.

If you start to jitter, do a full restart. For your sanity.

Okay, FTB Infinity expert mode is still undergoing balance changes. I didn't realize it was a beta release. In a (not Recommended) patch they changed the void jar recipe to make a little more sense- it requires a bottle of ender air instead. That's still not convenient but it's definitely less annoying to get than voidmetal, and that means it's no longer a warp recipe.

I wonder if the balance will actually be reasonable in the end. Right now it seems like all you have to do is progress until you can do Immersive Engineering stuff, get some water wheels or windmills for power generation, then build its version of the laser drill (excavator or something) and have all the ore forever. Immersive Engineering seems to mostly just cost iron, so it's not very lategame.

Is it no longer possible to prevent Botania's passive flowers from withering? I've been playing Regrowth (0.83 if it matters, Botania is r1.7-228) and even though I set passiveWither.time in the config to -1, the flowers are still dying after a few days.

Passive flower withering is no longer an option to disable. You can use an Overgrowth Seed to make a single passive flower not wither.

Good news, however -- a single endoflame is as effective as 38 dayblooms!

Design beliefs... nice. Withering is a pointless mechanic since you upgrade from day/nightblooms almost immediately and it'd take literal fields and fields of them to be worthwhile and anyone who wants to put that much effort should be entitled to free mana, it's not substantially different to a tree farm making charcoal or leaves; it's all renewable!

Yeah, like I get that the argument is that any active mana generators are way superior, so given that, why nerf passive generation at all? If a whole field of dayblooms is needed for 1 exoflame, why would you worry people are going to overdo it? I guess there's this fear that people are going to build a 20-chunk daybloom superfield or something and lag the server to hell, but it seems like a pretty fringe case.

Part of it was that a nonzero number of people couldn't or wouldn't see past the giant fields of dayblooms, and when they inevitably set up huge farms of them, server owners would complain that "Botania is laggy."

It sounds infantile, but reputation for server performance is important! A big part of the reason everyone uses Thermal Expansion and Big Reactors is that they are extremely performant.

I miss my chicken farm. And the mob farms. But I can see how the server would lag if they didn't die more or less immediatly.

I still think the Angelas were the worst offender on the last Progress server, though.

Which is why server owners have ALWAYS had the option to configure them to decay. Now nobody gets the option unless they download the forked copy where it has been re-enabled by another modder.

they're exactly like the loving IC2 solar panel people back in the dark days of 1.2.5, "man ic2 takes a lot of resources, i only have 1000 solar panels this isnt enough"

I almost said "Well, obviously the solution was to have a super flower that you craft 9 flowers into, like solar panels were" but then thought about it for a second

i'm actually OK with the change, but it's really a bandaid and I think the system should be reworked.

Oh boy passive generation, my favorite topic.

I mentioned this last time it came up, but I'd been making fun of vazkii on twitter about this for months. Passive gen always leads to literally the exact same sequence of events. My favorite response to it was someone on reddit going "yeah but it's not like people just spam redstone engines all the time so what's the big deal".

here is a fun rule for any budding minecraft modders

don't have effects in your mod that rely on the presence of the following

A) sunlight
2) night time, outside of monster spawning which has its own event structure
iii) rain

In which "lovely gameplay" is synonymous with "goes against the modder's vision", which is the entire problem.

This whole discussion feels like goalposts on a treadmill. If it was about balance, it should have been an option. If it was about server lag, that option should have defaulted to withering passives. But now that it's past that and we're to the point where the option itself is removed it's still okay because modder knows best.

A temporary diversion from vision chat. I can't figure out the whole storage bus->interface->molecular assembler thing in AE2 for keeping basic levels of items in play. I want to figure this out since it seems more efficient than level emitters, which take up a lot of space... and channels. I get the basic idea. The interface should generate a draw on the storage bus when it is out of a designated item which will cause the storage bus to try to pull one, triggering autocrafting from a pattern. Or something.

I am trying to make some wooden buttons so I can get some machina essentia from them. I have a pattern to designate oak turns into planks, and a plank turns into a button. I added a crafting card to the interface in the chain. For the inventory, I put a plank in the top and bottom slot in the rows. That's what I saw online, although I don't really get it. I'll see the button from the bottom slot in my network, and I can pull it out, but nothing autocrafts from this afterwards. What is the procedure for setting this up?
