Applied-Energistics-2 VS FarPlaneTwo

Probably. This is from a very popular mod called Applied Energistics. It's been around for a while. https://appliedenergistics.github.io/

the wiki - https://appliedenergistics.github.io/

Looked at the code. And yes. That is exactly how it works. However, it doesn't check if every block is valid before doing that. It just checks one side, and if it can grow a crystal there, it will. Otherwise, it does nothing.

Actually, 256k Cells were added to the base mod about 7 months ago. https://github.com/AppliedEnergistics/Applied-Energistics-2/pull/6252

Hey thank you so much this was super helpful and gave me a mindblown sort of moment of realisation of how I should restructure my network. I really need to get some sleep now but I will continue tomorrow. Thanks very much for your help I really do appreciate the time spent. Also I managed to find the link but maybe I misunderstood what he meant and maybe it was the opposite of my interpretation. (I never played on ae1 so I don't know)

I also know that FarPlaneTwo is supposed to do something similar, but I'm sure I didn't test that.

for 1.12.2 there exists https://github.com/PorkStudios/FarPlaneTwo

FarPlaneTwo

Pretty much, trying to find a mod like Bobby or FarPlaneTwo, but for 1.18. Neither of those are compatible with 1.18 so does anyone know anything similar to those? Thanks!

I've found that chunk render distance has a very large impact on fps. If you play on 1.18, setting the simulation distance down allows you to play at 32 render distance fine. If you play earlier versions, mods like Distant Horizons, Bobby, C2ME, or FarPlaneTwo are quite useful.
