PSA:
Please don't use completely excessive things just because you can. This includes long pipes of any kind, huge farms or lots of quarries on top of each other. It's shitting up the server and causing lag in at least the respective areas. We have things like Mystcraft portals, Enderchests, Tesseracts, TP pipes and probably more things I forgot to cover pretty much all those scenarios involving transportation.

Thanks.

As a general rule, avoid super long pipes/cables. Also try to prevent looping, ic2 and rp both have paint you can use to color their cables/tubes. This way you can have a 10x10 area of cables all running parallel instead of making 100 loops.

Keep computercraft programs and redpower timers on as long a delay as possible (5sec instead of 1sec f.e.).
Try to keep your machines automated, so that when they are done or run out of resources, they stop running.

Don't worry too much about this if you're just starting, but as your base gets bigger and bigger, all the small things help.

PS. DONT UPDATE JUST YET.
maybe you can join the server if you update;
you should be able to select v.8.0 instead of the latest 8.1 and still join the server;
can someone who updated confirm these?

evening guys, been playing a fair bit of tekkit and feed the beast solo for a while now. Any chance I could join you guys? I don't know you from anywhere, I don't post a lot on TL because I don't like to post things that don't add anything. I've played with the TL eve corp and dota2 group though. I see your whitelist has quite a few players and talk of lag on the thread. Let me know anyway. I can PM too.

Let me find out if any of those updates break something important first, I like the usual week or so and wait if anyone bitches about bugs on the forums. =P

@carrion: If there's no one currently around who can vouch for you I can't do much for you at this point. I still lack a lot of moderating tools on forge so we all have to rely on the others reputation keeping everything in check. Sorry. =/

Can't seem to log in anymore. As soon as I do my game crashes. I've already reinstalled and tried a second computer. Seems to be something server-related.

I'm in Aixler's base, if that matters.

Not to worry mate, I understand. I have a bad enough time with creepers griefing me without having to deal with players!

I noticed serejai logging in and out a bunch of times, and it seems it's contagious. I can't get on anymore either.

I just restarted it just because it had some minor errors around, suddenly I have an Aixler yelling at me that it just "crashed". I can't help you guys if you don't post error messages.

Edit: ....

Can you please stop blaming every single user related failure on the server?

Yeah... that's from literally two minutes ago after my third re-install. It was a problem with the server. All other servers on the same host work fine. It's not the first time I've been disconnected/crashed after clicking on a redstone timer and being unable to log back in. So no, not user related at all. Buggy mod related.

I am having the same issues

No updates or changes, it just disconnects me after a few seconds if I even manage to get in.

EDIT: quite sure its server related, tried to get out of our base in to see if it was the sorting system or machines causing lag, but that didn't help at all.

Something is definitely weird here. I kind of think it's the FTB launcher acting up at this point.

Edit: Zaph you just get disconnected but without any kind of message?

I had no problems today, my friend did not besides some client-side weirdness (he could not see NEI HUD at all besides "Options" tab)

I'm still in Aixler's base. He's there and stuff. He also put his train workbench in a chest and I'm no longer crashing but now I just sit on the server for 3-4 minutes in creative mode (can fly, punches break anything instantly) and then I DC.
