I did not see any other way, so i have itemducts feeding a planter. Sp testing showed me that the ducts tend to get backed up, does that cause lag?

No, itemducts are pretty smart; they determine how much the target inventory can take before they send them down the line. The crucibles "lie" to the itemduct however and tell it they can take infinite cobble which is what causes the problem. You end up with all the excess cobble bouncing around in the pipes which is where the TPS lag comes from when there are a million entities in the pipe. A backstuffed pipe like in the case of a planter (or most other inventories) is fine.

if the tool is REALLY that important to you, IIRC you can also give it an extra modifier with a block of gold + diamond, then add moss. You can get mossy cobble by putting some cobble near a barrel of water.

Annoyingly, it wouldn't even allow that. With combination of the block/Diamond in both toolstation/forge...

ANYWHO...

Can I get another friend added please.

A pretty common TPS lag issue in Agrarian Skies is igneus extruders feeding into crucibles via itemducts. That's the most common power setup, but there's a technical issue with the crucibles that tell the itemducts that there is infinite room for cobble. Eventually you'll build up too much cobble that cause some pretty bad lag.

Since this is so common, server operators might want to ensure/enforce that the island owners have an overflow trashcan for their power setups.

So, if we connect the end of the itemducts to a trashcan it'll get rid of the surplus cobble? Another solution, but less cheap, would be to replace the itemducts with autonomous activators.

Do hoppers work with the crucible? If so you could just use a hopper to connect to the crucible and pipe cobble into the hopper as normal

Or this, yes. I remember Ivefan saying that hoppers do work. Will test later today.

Seems easier since the activators take like 2 diamonds and emeralds now

That price wouldnt really bother red isle, havent really used any gems at all yet. And i think we have a bunch now

Trashcan with the connected duct in dense (red) mode will solve the problem. Other options include intermediate inventories such as hoppers over the crucibles would also work. Trashcan is a lot cheaper and more compact though. Supposedly the Ex Nihilo author is working on a fix to the crucibles so they report their available space correctly in a future version.

what is the server address?

[forsaken1111]

I am working on a better design for this which will let more than 8 teams have areas to play in, so new people please wait on that. All of the islands are taken anyway

Your only posts on this board are in this topic. I don't think you're ever getting the address.

Even more amusing is that the server address is in the first post

so not only a newb but a moron.

Holy shit really? I thought you had it hidden away. Wow. I don't even know what to say about that.
