Hello, got a crash using 1.22-ctest23.

fml log: https://gist.github.com/Keyarose/2fabc69d32f758f0b05c

The crash happens aprox 75% of the time when using a Mystcraft linking book. I think it might be related to the LookingGlass mod used to show the link in location. It throws a number of ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException before the crash.

LookingGlass 0.2.0.00
Mystcraft 0.12.3.01

Can you post the crash report instead of the log?

I've had a lot of bad experiences with MystCraft, mainly Pahimar refusing to fix major bugs and performance issues. Hopefully this isn't a bug with MystCraft or you may be out of luck

That's actually not a FC-specific incompatibility, the missing/mistyped field is public in Forge as well. I've added a workaround for the next build.

Overall I'm not impressed with Thermos and later KCauldron changes, there's way too many unsafe additions that barely work in vanilla, let alone modded mc. Deliberately breaking mods as in https://github.com/TCPR/Thermo…95596aa79dde996457a05177e and questionable performance "improvements" all over the place. Changes like introducing ConcurrentHashMap avoid concurrent modification exceptions, but don't help with getting an actually consistent world state and perform significantly worse for non-threaded access..

So that's why Factorization is broken... I love FZ but the packet kicks were just obnoxious so we had to remove it.

Sadly, using vanilla Forge just isn't an option for my server. If SpongeForge and Pore were to backport to 1.7.10, I'd use those in a heartbeat.

But my server really needs blocklogging with the Prism plugin, and my players would be upset without /home and /tpa commands.

KCauldron broke more and more each update, and Thermos is at least a little more stable than KCauldron. I'd be using Cauldron still if it was updated to later versions of Forge.

Thermos, a replacement for KCauldron due to KCauldron's inactivity, has launched: https://github.com/TCPR/Thermo…accc06caed2b6c2d0f879c5ee

FastCraft is no longer compatible: https://gist.github.com/ajthemacboy/b1a839454dd62269dc91

Don't know what to say about this really; the devs of KCauldron and Thermos say FastCraft offers no performance improvement, but my own tests say it does.

If you're willing to support Thermos I couldn't be happier, but if not I understand that this is a nightmare!

It appears FastCraft is no longer compatible with newer versions of Cauldron and KCauldron, specifically 1614-*.

Player, without downloading the latest patch and having the effected players test it, do you know if you fixed the bug with squids randomly appearing on some people's heads?

ajthemacboy · Dec 13th 2015

Hi Player, I have a very weird bug that only two of my players experience.

Whenever two specific players are anywhere near a squid, while using FastCraft 1.22 Test 17, the squid is teleported to their head and they are unable to see; http://imgur.com/a/HH1uJ

This doesn't occur on 1.21.

ajthemacboy · Oct 14th 2015

The latest FastCraft seems to have some bugs with colored text. The text enhancements are enabled in the config.

ajthemacboy · Oct 12th 2015

Latest build of FastCraft works on my Cauldron 1481 server.

Same error as Alaberti.

I was checking to make sure flat bedrock was enabled and in the process I dug through it. The crash happened immediately when I feel below 0 with my F3 screen open.

Once I restarted my client reopened the world I was below bedrock and the game was working normally, without the F3 screen being open. I flew above bedrock, opened F3 with no crash, closed F3, and then went below bedrock again.

As soon as the F3 screen is opened below 0 it results in the crash.

Are you using any other mods? What happens with only FastCraft?

ajthemacboy · Oct 10th 2015

Player, when's that fix coming out?

ajthemacboy · Oct 8th 2015

Hello again,

Letting you know I'll be using your mod in my FTB Pack, Rubix3. Thanks!

ajthemacboy · Oct 6th 2015

Is it soon™ yet?

Quote from Feiya

Are you able to check CPU time for entities? I feel like it's the entities that cause the most TPS lag from my server. Even with only ~150, they sure love eating my servers resources. (And I don't exactly want to just set spawning to off).

On my server I feel like it's machines that use the most resources, for example we have the Ancient Warfare mod which has a treefarm that I've found to be super laggy. Quarries and farms use a lot too. I'm not sure there is any way to optimize machines or quarries, other than possibly changing the way light updates happen.

Player, when can we expect that next beta build?

Some thoughts about the threading:

1. OptiFine has had some success, from what I understand, spreading chunk [something] across multiple ticks, and multiple cores. However, I'm not sure if this is chunk generation, or chunk rendering. If it's the former, then that might be something to look at.

2. Even with all the complicated mod injections into the chunk generation code, I still believe it should be possible to assign world generation to a different thread, instead of splitting it into multiple. This could also be done with other things like mob path finding, machines from mods, etc.

3. Finally, this is probably the most complicated, but there are commercial and server programs that can take a task that is normally single-threaded and divide it into multiple workloads, then assign each to a core/thread. Instead of intercepting the original chunk generation code, it might be possible to take the math and calculations and assign them to multiple cores.

Please, correct me, I'm sure I'm mostly babbling and wrong, and I don't want to remain the idiot These are some ideas though.

Edit: Thought I'd share some results with the last FastCraft build on KCauldron: The world took 36 seconds to generate before FastCraft, and 24 after, in a low ram environment on a modpack with ~150 mods. While KCauldron may improve chunk generation, FastCraft is certainly NOT useless with KCauldron!

Whoops, spoke too soon, just got this crash on a server with a preexisting world: http://pastebin.com/Wn6YA8vj

I also added a set of kcauldron fixes for ajthemacboy

It works! Thanks a bunch I did experience one crash with Dimensional Doors remake for 1.7.10 that I've never had before, but I hope it was a one time thing. I'll report if it happens again.

ajthemacboy · Sep 30th 2015

Just tested 1.22-ltest, I have the same (K)Cauldron startup error.

I know I'm impatient, but I can't wait!

Hello! There seems to be an issue with the mod; every time I try to generate a new world, this happens! Someone help me, please!

I don't know how to fix it, but I'd start by removing Glenn's Gases. In my experience it's pretty buggy. Of course, one of the devs still needs to release a comparability fix

ajthemacboy · Sep 23rd 2015

Thanks Player, and whether those bugs have been around a while or introduced in 1.8, Mojang is finally getting it right.
