Cobblestone Farms, Timers, Etc

[xjjon88]

How does cobblestone generators fare when making them with block breakers / timers in terms of server load? Can they easily take down a server!?

[bertie2]

timers cause repeated rapid lightting updates (though i belive this can be disabled in the config somewhere) so they are very server intensive.

When used in moderation, they are fairly benign. However, when used in extreme excess, you can see a discernible increase in server load.

You can disallow block breakers to break cobble stone in the redpower config, however, as will any item change, clear it with your user base first.

i had a 4 cobble gen going in to a furnace and a macerator, from there from the macerator in to another furnace to make glass, the other side went in to an auto crafting table to make stone bricks, both glass and stone brinks went in to chests. server ran pretty well.

The timers are gonna screw yo stuff up. You should set the minimum delay in the RP config to, say, 1 or 2 seconds. Other than that, get a faster processor.

<me> Hey guys, I'm gonna disable block breakers on cobble because y'alls multi-floor massive cobble farms are taking up CPU time and the server lags.

<foo> NO!!!!

<bar> OMG NO!!!

<tar> OMG ADMIN PLZ DONT DO IT!!!

<fut> I'm leaving this server.

* fut has left the game

<elmo> OMG NO MY SCRAPBOX DIAMOND FACTORY NOOOOOOOO

<bar> IF U DO THIS IM LEAVING 2

<foo> I'M GONNA TELL MY MOM

Clear it up with your userbase... yeah right. XD

Wow... your user base sucks. Get some nicer people.

Where can I find the config to set a minimum time for the timer? I don't see a Rp2 config file?

In the redpower.cfg file.

For example mine says:

    logic {

        enableSounds=1

        minInterval=38

38 was the value I found to be 2 seconds through trial and error
