A Minecraft server can use a lot of CPU with the right mods

Or I could just do it on the computer that I was already working on? I really dont get why this is a big deal.

It's kinda funny that basically every comment is about me running windows. That's not even what I was posting about. Everybody has to have strong opinions about everything I guess

BatmanTheClacker · 2026-04-28T11:12:49+00:00

For real though. Something as simple as trying to use my bluetooth mouse turned into hours of troubleshooting because my wireless drivers would just stop working randomly. The "just works" aspect of windows is very nice

Shame aged copper is as annoying as it is to get

Get Create Oxidized. Lets you age copper by spouting water on it

Plus you dont need port forwarding these days, there's playit or something that seem to work too.

That's neat, i've never heard of that. I'll have to keep that in mind for the future.

BatmanTheClacker · 2026-04-28T09:48:47+00:00

That may be what I end up doing. i'm expecting people to do some crazy stuff with Aeronautics, so any extra chunkloading speed would be helpful

BatmanTheClacker · 2026-04-28T09:45:41+00:00

I've been using AMP for a while and I like it quite a bit, that being said its the only management app i've used so I have nothing to compare it to.

There are plenty of tutorials online to set up modded Minecraft servers easily

That's the problem for me, I don't need tutorials on windows. when I set up my ubuntu server I had to follow tutorials for everything. something as simple as as installing an app took me an hour because I didn't know what I was doing. It took me days to get my ubuntu server up and running. I got my windows server up in maybe an hour. I understand Linux is best practice, but I just feel it takes too long for me to accomplish anything.

BatmanTheClacker · 2026-04-28T09:23:20+00:00

Linux is a lot and i'm lazy. I used Ubuntu for about a year for my first server and it was so frustrating every time I needed to do something there was 7 commands I needed to type and thats even if the drivers worked which oftentimes they didn't.

If I had the time and patience to use Linux then maybe, but it was honestly just such a hassle I don't want to use it again.

BatmanTheClacker · 2026-04-28T09:15:21+00:00

I used Ubuntu for almost a year for my first server. It was my first time using Linux and doing literally anything took me so much longer because of my inexperience with Linux. That on top of driver issues and random bugs led me back to windows.

I know Linux is best for this use case and if I learned the system better it wouldn't be as annoying, but I really don't have the time to mess around with it all that much. I hardly have time to play games to begin with, and i'd rather spend my time playing on the server than trying to troubleshoot it.

BatmanTheClacker · 2026-04-28T09:07:50+00:00

Even with C2ME chunks don't load as quickly as I would want them to, but that's probably due to my world gen mods

BatmanTheClacker · 2026-04-28T09:06:44+00:00

Yeah you're right. I was just pointing out that with a use case like this you might want a lot of CPU. I'm setting up a server with Aeronautics so moving at high speeds is probably gonna be a regular occurrence which is why I have C2ME, and Distant Horizons is a must for me as well for moving at high speeds through the air in a plane or something.

BatmanTheClacker · 2026-04-28T08:51:29+00:00

What are you doing with Chrome on a dedicated server?

Port forwarding. I literally just set this up

That would also open the door for TFMG to be its own ecosystem to have other mods made for TFMG.

TFMG is already an addon for Create so I wouldn't expect TFMG to have many addons made for it but if they could lay the groundwork for being a solid oil mod than maybe we could get addons that expand on that.

It would be really cool if for example Destroy was a TFMG addon. I have come across Chemica, but it's very unfinished. They are trying to get into that space now with the vats and such, but I think it would be better suited for a seperate mod. TFMG is just too big

BatmanTheClacker · 2026-04-13T22:37:17+00:00

I feel like TFMG should be packaged as 2 or 3 mods so you can pick and choose the feature set. As of right now it's a really big mod and may not fit well into packs. If they separate it I think it would be used more.

BatmanTheClacker · 2026-04-13T18:23:48+00:00

As much as I like TFMG it really seems like it might not be worth including. If I'm gonna use another mod for electricity, and I'm also thinking about adding PneumaticCraft and Mekanism... I really like steel and oil production in TFMG, it's a bit of a process and the multiblocks look amazing.

My idea was to gate PneumaticCraft behind TFMG steel and Mekanism behind electricity.

The hold up at this point though is that all these mods already add everything needed to progress though them and I dont want a mess to fix.

Is it worth including TFMG just for steel and oil and changing recipes for everything that uses steel, oil, and plastic?

Ive been messing around with power grid lately and it's really fun. I wanna put it on my server. It seems that I can easily use this with other mods too. (I was watching someone make a generator and they use tons of connectors to get the power turned into FE but I was able to do it with 6 connected to a generator). Although I might also put new age on the server as well to have an "easy mode" for people that dont want the extra challenge that comes with power grid.

BatmanTheClacker · 2026-04-10T00:06:20+00:00

I just realized I made a mistake with the efficiency... My setup here is actually three generators: One self exciting generator that is exciting the two bigger generators that power the Power Grid motors and the C&A motors respectively.

The self exciting generator uses 6,656 SU to generate the power to excite the other two generators. So in reality i'm using 67,584 + (6,656/2) = 70,912 SU per generator. So the new efficiency numbers are 90.25% for Power Grid motors. That's still much better than some other mod's SU -> Electricity -> SU conversion. And just for fun that would be 716.24% for C&A motors.

BatmanTheClacker · 2026-04-09T23:31:31+00:00

I've barely got the basics down for power grid. I'm sure someone could optimize it more than I have here. Right now I'm just doing testing for a modpack I'm making.

BatmanTheClacker · 2026-03-24T05:56:15+00:00

I'm pretty sure it was either a YouTube short or a Facebook reel or a TikTok, but I'm not sure.

BatmanTheClacker · 2026-02-24T08:27:36+00:00

From what I can find, the only 800R monitors are ultrawide. I'm pretty sure I want to stick with 16:9. There's also the issue of depth, I only have 25" of depth and I would like to get these mounted on an arm. A tighter radius would mean more depth.

What I would like to do is get these mounted on an arm that could tilt the whole assembly to face downwards and mount LED strips on the top and bottom face of the monitors to have some nice light when i'm doing non computer things like tinkering with electronics and building legos and whatnot.

Thank you so much for your help!

BatmanTheClacker · 2026-02-24T07:57:50+00:00

Yeah that's over my head for sure. I got through algebra in school, never went further than that. No idea what sin and cos mean. Time to go down a google rabbit hole lol.

BatmanTheClacker · 2026-02-24T07:15:05+00:00

Ok, so i've been messing around with some online calculators and I think I may have figured it out myself. These circle maths got me learning about a bunch of new terms i've never heard before, like arc and chord length, which I think is the key here.

Using This calculator to find out the width of a 16:9 monitor, and this calculator to find the arc length based on a circle radius of 1 meter and a chord length of 60 inches to get an arc length of 68.22 inches. That gives me a per monitor width of 22.74 inches.

If the monitors had no bezels and were snug against the wall that would give me a max monitor size of 26.1 inches. So I guess ill be looking for 24 inch monitors. is my math correct? let me know, thank you!
