Santa Fe world logs 2/6 to 2/9

More logs.  But here I was running into an unexpected problem.  I was trying to record in-game videos to try and help people figure out all the mods and blocks, but pretty much the only feedback I get is, "Your computer sucks, you lag too much, why is it so crappy and slow?"  Maybe I don't have thousands of $$ to spend on some uber-computer.  If you want to see 100 frames per second, just go watch other videos.  I'm happy to get 10 fps, really, the game is fine that way.  More of a challenge probably.

Anyway, some of this log involves trying to find the lowest-lag locations, to get better videos done.  Might be of some interest.

2/6

About 7:30-9pm do some videos.  Try giving updated tour of Santa Fe but the lag is unwatchable.  Do long tour of our Twilight Forest side, fun.  Then Andy logs in.  I build some tree house platforms on that huge tree just beyond his mushroom condos.  the tree is 4x4 wide on the inside, ivy running all the way up one wall.  Seems like there's some fall protection on there, since I fell 70 blocks and only took 7 hearts of damage.

22:50    log in.  Head down from Andy's condos.  Run into enderman, attack then lag out.  It hits me several time, head flapping.  I try to linkbook out but only book is to twilight forest (same dimension doesn't work), I run inside the twilight hub with 2 hearts left, enderman can't get thru the door.  Smack smack, got him.  Warp home.

23:37    tunnel run under wiz tower, leave Mass fab on.  Back up top, 4 UU done, MFSU2 at 8 million.  Got a few stacks of junk to recycle, plus 19 diamonds, 37 redstone, ores: 1 uranium, 8 gold, 17 copper, 12 tin, 16 iron.  Level 16.  MFSU2 hovering around 8 million, I guess the 2 million drop was one night's worth of power drain though recycler is now running full-time as well.

23:48    Recycled 6 stacks; made 4 UU, shut off Mass Fab.  MFSU at 7.7 million, now climbing.  Yikes, nano armor took a beating (darn enderman!), boots at 0, legs at 57k, chest 40k, helmet 75k - go to power station to recharge all gear.

23:57    Raid the farmbot, 3x64+26 wheat, 2x64 seeds. 


2/7

4pm        Do video tour of changes in Santa Fe workshops since "ftb tour 4" over a month ago.

23:07    Log in.  Factor lab: 16+14 cryst tin done.

23:17    warp to lich tower 1 (twilight forest), do thorough sweep & cleanup.  Note: you can silk touch bookshelves to get bookshelf drops.  Put torches in all tower windows (make windows if not there).  Some tower wood ceilings are 3-6 blocks thick - huge source of wood for repair work.  May be some hidden chests up there too.  Just saw books flapping around OUTside on roof.  Silk touching mob spawners = nothing??

00:00    Whoa, careful drilling into walls up in lich lair, there are lots of those bug-infested stone bricks up there!  Lich lair: wood ceiling is at least 3-4 blocks thick in places, room for a whole extra floor up there.  Actually I added two floors up there, some glass in floor so you can see up there from below.  Neat hangout.  Cleared about 6 stacks of oak planks to make space, no hidden chests up there.  On the way down, hear zombies ... find one whole tower (lava spot at bottom) not cleared yet.  had about 3 zombies, 3 skels, 1 creeper, 2 killer books.  Fun little romp.

00:50    Back to overworld, had fun exploring.  Repaired my super pickaxe on the tinkering bench -- I guess there IS a cost, since I was level 19 after big fight. now I'm level 3 again, but it's worth it for that tool.

00:55    Farmbot, grab 2x64+9 wheat, 64 seeds; quick run to twilight power station to drop it off.  Biomass 551k after 8 buckets in engine, 6 buckets in still.  log off.


2/8

22:07    Login, all that biomass is done.  Chunk must have stayed loaded a bit after I left.  Biomass tank 563k.  (22:14) Quick run for biomass, get 4 saplings, 28 mushrooms, 64+29 leaves (11 plantballs).  6 buckets of biomass into engine.  (22:25)  Quick run for biomass, get 6 saplings, 32 mushrooms, 3x64+6 leaves (27 plantballs), 9 ferns (yes they make plantballs), 2 apples.  Fermenters: catalysts down to 57 compost, 46+32 fertilizer. (22:36) Run for biomass: 10 shrooms, 12 ferns, 8 seeds, 60 grass, 53 leaves, 3 saplings.  Found caves under the roots of that mega-tree where I started building the treehouse.  22:55 - Quick run into those caves, another huge multi-branched set of tunnels & pits; spider sounds, zombie sounds, care bears.  Nano suit: 3 parts around 60k, chestplate 90k, recharge all.

23:00    Pop back to overworld, my house.  Factor lab: 8+8 cryst tin done (34 so far from 60 tin started 2/7 00:01).  Old saltpeter mine outside of town, mining laser, blast a new passage, right down into a long set of tunnels & another chasm.  3 creepers, kabang kabang, but still not much damage.  Nano suit is still above 85k for all 4 pieces.  Recharge at power station, 46 tin cooked.  23:14 - tree farm, run for a bit.  grab 40 fertilizer, 31 saplings.  To Twilight power station, refill catalysts to 64+52 fertilizer.  Run saplings.

23:36    Quick run under twilight village, level 7, seems like every direction hits water & floods.  Warp to Albuquerque & run home.  Get about 20 fps on the road, slows to 3-5 fps in Santa Fe.  SOME type of machinery is screwing it up, probably Factorization??  Log out.


2/9

23:11    Log in.  At house.  Put farmbot in chest - lag goes way down.  Mostly 7-10 fps in town, even on roof of factor lab.  Still getting red errors in console from factorization (silver mirrors).  Seriously been considering disassembling the factor lab, maybe moving it out on the road to Albuquerque.  Then I'll know for sure how much lag happens around it.  Railcraft lab: coke oven has 25 coal coke, 55 buckets of creosote, fill 21 bottles; blast furnace has 12 steel ready; rock crusher has gravel -> sand to ovens to make glass to make bottles for creosote; energy cell at 360k.  21 more bottles, creosote, into tie-maker with 4x64+24 wood slabs.

23:20 run around town, that huge lag as I run around the side of my house (loading the farmbot) is gone.  Factor lab: 26 cryst tin ready, what's left: 3x5+2x4 in one crystallizer, 5x6 in the other.  Okay, after that batch is done, dismantle this lab.  Power station (10 entities away from farm, 65 entities looking toward it) and lab2 (4-32 entites depending on direction) get about 4-6 fps.  Forestry lab: 7-10 fps.  Steve's Cart lab: 6-10 fps.  Thermal lab 6-10 fps.  Tree collection 5-7 fps.  Still a huge lag on bridge while forest chunks load.  Twilight portal house 12-18 fps.  Road in Forest beyond: 12-20 fps.  Back into town: 4-6 fps while chunks load (away from factor lab), then 6-8.  Inside wiz tower 6-12 fps.  Wiz tower lab 6-12 fps (6-7 entities).  MFSU2 at 10 million.  Walk around pigs & chickens 20-50 entities (grabbed 10 eggs), 4-6 fps.  Cows & sheep about 50 entities loaded, 4-5 fps.  Factor lab 8-15 entities, 4-6 fps.  16 cryst tin ready.

23:46 getting steady stream on non-helpful console errors: Error in class 'SourceLWJGL OpenAL' channel null in method 'stop', sometimes every 5-10 seconds, some not for 5 minutes.

00:33    Factor lab: 31 cryst tin done.  00:49 - 13 cryst tin done, whole batch will be done in 2 cycles.  Wheat is all grown, run farmbot once over, get 64+13 wheat + 32 seeds.  Convert 27 pumpkins into 64+44 seeds.

Done for night.
