@tmax_hand Hehe thanks, I hope this really helps people. This guide is a WIP and has been and will be a lot of work, which we consider as ‘totally worth it’. Anyone should spread this thread on the servers :slight_smile:
Here is a short link to share this guide:
@tjwmagic @tmax_hand @SkyKingAgan @JoshDeChamp @FWHY @ImFrostezz @Xi0ran @Global-Moderators @administrators @henny222
Please see the post above :smirk: And spread the news on the Novus Bevo servers!

@tmax_hand you are welcome :thumbsup_tone1:
To allow anyone at least some protection again, we added FTBUtilities to the server and modpack. This solely allows you some more protection, but we will not and never refund any stolen items! You are in charge of protecting your base. There are dozens of possibilities to do this! Look around and read the beginners guide for a quick tutorial as well as a bunch of tips and tricks for the server:
Ich empfehle das hinzugefügte FTBUtilities zum claimen zu nutzen.
@tjwmagic Okay then this should for sure not be an issue but you never know :O
You might also try memtest (it’s a live ISO that can be flashed on any USB drive).
If it works now with 5 GB of RAM that’s fine. You could also set -Xmx5G as an additional JVM argument in the Technic Launcher. This limits the JVM’s max memory so that there is a hard upper limit which will fix potential memory overflows.
Just as a side note: I like your professional way of reporting issues, we need more people like you ;)
Okay nice, if it works that’s nice. The crash might also indicate faulty hardware (RAM) but that’s only an assumption. Let us know if you have any other issues :slight_smile:
The server is up and running so I assume that issue has been fixed.
@xXBigDigXx Okay, danke für die Antwort. Wie dir sicher aufgefallen ist, haben wir zurzeit einige Probleme bezüglich des Claimens. Zurzeit kannst du mit FTBUtilities dein Grundstück claimen.
Hey there @tjwmagic ,
thanks for the detailed report. My first guess would be that there might be not enough RAM for the modpack. How much RAM have you set designated to the technic launcher?
@SkyKingAgan how about you contributing rather than just saying it is not working? How about providing valuable information such as crash reports / error descriptions / suggestions on how to improve things?
What you do is simply a waste of time. You are just one of a bunch of people who are just complaining and never try to improve things. That’s not what we are looking for and that’s also which might some day crash this world’s society. But hey that’s none of my business.
The issue with the timeouts arises because of egoism by almost each player. Most people think they are the only ones playing and disrespect anything and build just a bunch load of sh*** without thinking just a few seconds if this may be bad for performance. Then there are other players who do something which crashes / timeouts the server, they get back on, do it again, again, again and again not using their brains that they might eventually be the cause for the issue.
@everyone
We can understand your rage but as @tmax_hand already stated, adding GriefPrevention will have no benefit. You can bypass it’s protection in seconds which has been done dozens of times already and which is why we decided to remove it.
To us the server is running way better from a technical standpoint: 7 hours without a crash. Before, the server did not run more than 10 minutes without hanging.
We will defiantly look into the timeouts you get!
As stated in my fist post up there, there a load of ways to protect your property. OpenModularTurrets just being an easy one.
Dear community,
many of you have been experiencing severe lags on our Novus Bevo Alpha server in the past week. Additionally, people have been griefed and generally unhappy about the whole servers situation.
We have been watching and our team has been doing it’s best without any success.
After one hour of brainstorming about how to continue with the server and how to improve it, we came up with our new plan called “Struggle for Life”.
Before you leave, let me explain our decisions, we know that most of you may disagree with us but:
As this is a modded server, GriefPrevention had almost zero effect on security as every protection could be bypassed in minutes, even seconds. Also, GriefPrevention was the one most source for lag. GriefPrevention created about 60% of the servers lag!
Additionally, to this our team is completely at its limits, also many people complain that their items have been stolen though they claim have been protected. We don’t want to keep this illusion of security.
We think that there are enough mods in this modpack to protect your property no-matter-what in a more secure way. OpenModularTurrets for example. This mod provides really powerful tools to protect your house against any intruder while looking simply awesome.
As many people complained, we added FTBUtilities to open you the ability to claim your land again. Please keep in mind, we will no longer refund any items nor do we say that this protection is safe in any way. It’s something and it does not create lag, that’s all!
Big amounts of lag have also been created because people build wind parks with hundreds of windmills. Though this is an easy way to get energy, there are way more ways. For example using Lava and a Thermal Generator // Railcrafts Steam Boiler + Steam Dynamo which have a higher efficiency and less impact on the servers performance.
To get rid of the wind park issue we will make them more expensive and increase their energy output.
Changelog 1.1.1.3 update:
* Added BigReactors
* Added ExtraTiC
* Added SecurityCraft
* Added FTBUtilities
* Updated ThermalExpansion
* Updated ThermalFoundation
* Updated MinefactoryReloaded
* Removed LaunchGui
We know that many of you may disagree with our decisions, we are sorry about this but there is no way of managing such a community which is just constantly complaining and not really trying to improve. There are many people on the server who really just want to play and these will find their joy and place in this next iteration of the server.
We are always open for your ideas and suggestions on how we can improve things. Just let us know! Also keep an eye on our Beginners Guide for more insider info on how to play safe on our server.
Hey, thanks @SkyKingAgan thanks for the info.
Just to get this clear, we are happy about any donation but this is not ur intention to force anyone to donate! If you like, you can donate for our server using our donation store or you can keep playing just as normal.
We lowered the number of slots to provide everyone online with a better gaming experience.
As stated above, we are also working on a third Novus server to get as many people to be able to play as possible.
As many of you might have noticed you currently cannot join our Novus Bevo Alpha server. We are doing some emergency server maintenance as the server has been unplayable recently because of lag.
Somehow the Moon from Galacticraft (DIM-28) has been major cause for the lag. First thing we will try is pre-rendering the Moon (DIM-28) 3000 blocks from X: 0 Z: 0. This should help a lot.
We have also limited the amount of slots on the server to 25 people. Yes we know you all want to play but at 40+ people online at the same time, nobody can enjoy the game. We are working on more Novus servers so keep looking around for the upcoming update :smirk:
We will keep our eyes on the server as always and apologize for any inconvenience created by this.
Please keep in mind, this server has so many players with so many mods, it’s completely normal that things are not as smooth as in the beginning.
Novus Bevo Alpha is back up running! Have fun and report any bug!
@ennipenni20 Most likely on Novus Alpha // Bravo right?
If so, problem solved!
Okay, what’s the progress with @Xi0ran on this?
