Is there anything I can do to improve a pack's performance? I've already disabled mipmaps but Sprout is just lagging impossibly when I try to play it.

Better FPS FoamFix If so, you can also use Tick Profiler and/or Sampler (under "Extra tweaks/tips, Sampler 1.60 (MC 1.7.10)/1.62 (MC 1.8.9)/1.63 (MC 1.9)/1.65 (MC 1.9.4)/1.69.2 (MC 1.10)/1.71 (MC 1.11)" section to try and find causes of lag or troublesome mods. Might use something like Progenitor to pre-generate chunks as that's often a huge lag inducer. There are some config changes you can do, such as enable alwaysSetupTerrainOffThread in forge.cfg and increase dormantChunkCacheSize in forgeChunkLoading.cfg.

Sprout has BetterFPS already but not Foamfix. Installing Foamfix is a good idea. It fixed the lag problems I was having.

Yeah I tried it out and was impressed at the pack using ~80% of my 6 core 4ghz CPU before I realised there was no Foamfix by standard.

Yeah I put Foamfix in and immediately it works way better. I didn't even notice it wasn't there originally, hah.

I wonder how you're intended to get tools in Sprout. I wound up finding a sawmill structure and scavenging some planks out of the floor to make sticks, and stealing iron ingots from dragon hoards to make an axe so I could chop trees.

Blow up leaves to collect bird nests, which are basically loot bags in this pack that'll give you flint and sticks for starting tools. The traveller NPC who always appears by your spawn spot (and randomly elsewhere in the world) will give you quests to point you in that direction. Once you complete the initial bird nest quest (takes less than 2 minutes usually), you'll get a sickle, which makes getting all the flint and sticks (among other things, including occasionally diamonds and redstone dust) you need from bird nests trivial a million times over.

I was finally getting along decently in CotT when I placed an ender tether in the nether to see if it stopped the reapers from teleporting into my tunnel which crashed the game and now I can't open it again.

the Sprout modpack uses an insane amount of CPU for me and the game is an unplayable slideshow. i can play COTT no probs - is this due to some hosed-up optimisation mod that's been included in one but not the other? any ideas on how to cut down on the 90% CPU usage? i have turned off mipmaps already e: wait i'm retarded it's like three posts above mine. how did i not see this page

Futurepack is really something else. It's the high 'tech' mod on the new DPT server, and this quote (from me) accurately summarizes the second planet:quote:Hey guys, I made this really neat planet for my mod. Also the research system is ... interesting.

Oh, and for those of you messing with Sprout, make sure you pick the ATG world type. You're sorely missing out on one of the best features of the pack if you don't.

Here's a tip: if you make a world in Sprout and there's a dragon nearby, just make a new world. They WILL occasionally breathe fire/ice at you, and that will kill you instantly. I stole from like three dragon hoards in my first world and they didn't bother me, but it appears they do attack sometimes, so you don't want to start next to one. Edit: uh what are these heart crystal shards for? It seems like I should be able to upgrade my health with them but I can't figure out how. I turned on scavenger mode, but there's no tooltip on the heart crystal to tell me if it's buy-only or scavenge-only. McFrugal fucked around with this message at 00:23 on Jun 25, 2017 |

Not sure about Sprout, but in CotT you combine 9 shards into 1 heart and use that for +1 health.

You turn them in to monks at a monastery to get the health upgrade. The canisters aren't craftable in this pack.

In Sprout i died my first night, not knowing to hand in a birds nest. My next world was pretty awesome. Ive set up home in an abandoned spire next to a fire dragon's lair. Which itself is sandwiched between 2 slayer guilds. Once i clear away some area for farmland what do i do? go searching for more NPC's?

I discovered that MCA towns have waystones in them already. If you find one, go in the center and activate the waystone for a free teleport destination. Or steal it! No one will ever know!

Yah. Manual jar copy pasting works just fine. It'll even show up in the pack's modlist in the launcher if you put it in the right place.

Thanks, that seems to have worked. Sprout is good times. If you get stuck early, here are some tips: -Remember to pick a class and level up. You can open up this GUI by hitting semicolon by default. -DO THE STARTING QUEST WITH THE TRAVELER. It ends quickly, and gears you up, and gives you a backpack starter kit with waystone and warp crystal. -Birds nests are awesome, you can get a ton of random crap, sometimes emeralds and diamonds -Need ender pearls? Punch those little tiny stones you see on the ground and you have a chance to get ender dust. These smelt into pearls. -Wooden bucket is nice for early game water transport. It needs three logs in the bucket pattern. -Don't bother building a house. Travel around until you find a nice prebuilt structure, plop down your waystone from the starter kit, and explore out from there. I claimed a cool granite home, built on top of a dungeon. -Get started on Ars Magica quick for easy torches / light source. The dig spell also works on obisidian, so screw diamond picks. You can snag an inscription table from the Monestary. -Farming a ton of wheat and selling it to the stables is a good way to make money. -The Slayers Guild are jerks.

I just crashed from digging up one of those small stones. That may have been a coincidence since the crash report seems to involve worldgen. Oh, found how to get silk. You need to find a Weaver NPC in a village. That crystal orb you get from the starter kit could be used to generate a large MCA town which can have a variety of CustomNPC merchants.

I downloaded and installed foamfix anarchy, and still got crashes with Sprout. First time, it just hung on initial world creation untilI force quit the game, logs said it was journeymap experiencing a null pointer error. Exited and reloaded, and it was laggy, but playable...until I died and it crashed trying to respawn me.

Yeah the performance isn't great and I'm not sure why. I've had a couple of crashes, but the most common problem is getting stuck in the sleeping bag. Oh, here's a tip: banks act like ender chests. Another tip: hay and hay blocks can be sold to a Miller for a lot more than selling wheat to a stable. Making hay is a bit more involved than harvesting wheat, but you can find hay in chests. Also, stables have hay slabs lying about that you can steal. McFrugal fucked around with this message at 03:07 on Jun 26, 2017 |

The annoying thing turning me off Sprout is the game crashes every time I die with a quote:java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot get property PropertyBool{name=bottom, clazz=class java.lang.Boolean, values=[true, false]} as it does not exist in BlockStateContainer{block=minecraft:air, properties=[]} error. Also yes the Slayers Guild are jerks. And infinitely respawn.  Also this is twice now that the game has crashed while walking around with a 'server' crash log that has quote:Description: Exception ticking world Black Pants fucked around with this message at 09:10 on Jun 26, 2017 |

Oh nevermind, I guess that part of the MCA orb has been disabled. Normally it asks you for your origin and it'll create whatever town you said you came from. I'd been saving mine, I may as well use it now.

Either I installed it wrong, or Foamfix isn't helping my Sprout install. I continue to crash with it added to the mod folder, and it showing up in the list of mods for sprout. It's a shame, I really enjoy this pack.

You installed it fine, Foamfix only stops some of the crashes. I was getting crashes on death and crashes on using the backpack you get in the tutorial with foamfix installed. I'll probably come back to Sprout in a few weeks once they've got some of the bigger bugs ironed out.
