'''basic data'''
* Thomas, born 1965
* fast PC, but as of living in Thailand about RTT 0.220 via fiber at home with 50 MB/s
* playing minetest since Sun Jan 03, 2016 18:58
* has own server, so know a bit what is behind when call [[lag]]

'''aims here'''
* compare fast server including technic, mesecons and pipeworks - and how feel to play with 220 ms RTT, as gamer from Germany at my server

'''projects here '''
* map wide travelnet system on the 1.000/1.000 coordinates
* connect them then with streets
* build cart rail on this streets to ride over hole map
* each Intersection can contain belonging local travelnet hub for gamer live nearby
= with just 3 jumps can be everywhere on the map (level 7.5)

'''legend'''
* H-30 - H30 = horizontal rail lanes (fE H12 is the lane on the horizontal West-East 12000 coordinates)
* V-30 - V-30 = same vertical (North-South)
* later diagonal lanes
* travelnet: there are always to travelnet belong as a set: like "20.000 / - 20.000 Hub" is the station in the hub, "20.000 / - 20.000 Intersection" the one outside at that intersection / coordinates.

Thailand: /* results */

=== Profiler ===

Profiler is a built in mod, activated via "profiler.load = true" in minetest.conf file.

Usage: "/profiler save" by a server admin.
This makes a text file "profiler date-time.txt" to check out.

The file I (Thailand) got, is from 11.09.2019

The file contains summary and single part from all activated mods and may help to target [[lag]] source.

=== example ===

more_chests:
- on_joinplayer[1] ..................................

with numbers for
* min µs
* max µs (leads to peaks, used for rank peaks)
* avg µs (lead to avg lag, used for rank B)
* min %
* max %
* avg % (lead to avg lag, used for rank A)

* avg : mean time making work for cpu
* peak : short but heavy usage, maybe feel lag

=== results ===

To read that you need to find out the most top 5 or 10 avg, as there where this time (11.09.2019):
* '''[[advtrains]] - 35.6 % avg (rank 1)''' and just 40.4% peak of peak max [[messecons]] (rank 5)
* [[pipeworks]] - 17,9 % avg (rank 2), depend on avg us rank 3, and its peaks 53 % strength of [[messecons]] peak = rank 2
* '''[[messecons]]''' - 12.7 % avg (rank 3), '''but depend on avg us rank 1, top peak rank 1'''
* [[technic]] - 4.6 % avg (rank 4), depend on avg us rank 4 also, peaks just 35% as of [[messecons]], rank 7
* [[advtrains_train_japan]] - 4.6 % avg (rank 4), depend on avg us just rank 7
* default - 4.4% avg (rank 6) ... where I stop to check, as above mods make together 75% of all cpu work ...
* ... (a view others as asked for, or to compare also transport mods)
* pamdorabox_costum - 2.9 % avg (rank 7)
* advtrains_train_steam - 2.4 % avg (rank 9)
* advtrains_train_industrial - 1.7 % avg (rank 10)
* ambience - 0.9 % avg (rank 13)
* signs_lib - 0.4 % avg (rank 16)
* elevator 0.1 % avg (rank 30)
* travelnet - 0 (rank 45) (rank 45 is all last rank, mean nothing to work itself)
" ? carts is not listed (but from my server I know that is also very low, never had to mind abouit even with 25.000 nodes long cart system)

=== summary ===
The most avg work, mean all time through the server is on is made by mods:
* [[advtrains]] (35-40%)
* + [[pipeworks]] (18%) = sum 53-58%
* and + [[messecons]] 13%, mean sum cpu for 3 mods 66-71%

The main hard peaks are generated out from
* [[messecons]] peaks, counted here as 100% as most strong peaks
* [[pipeworks]] peaks, at least strong 50% strength of [[messecons]]
* [[advtrtains]] peaks, which are still 40% as strong like the [[messecons]] peaks
* [[technic]] peaks, have also 35% the strength like [[messecons]] peaks
* ambience then follow with 24% hard peaks compare to [[messecons]]

=== conclusion ===

There are main just 3 mods there behaviour have to be checks / reduces to get lag down.
* [[advtrains]], with then also japan train
* [[messecons]]
* [[pipeworks]]
all others are minor effect to server.

=== Author ===

Thailand, known as Festus1965 in Forum, and Thomas or Explorer on most other servers. I played around with profiler since at least 2 years and successful reduced [[lag]] on my server basing on profiler results.
There is a change possible in [[pipeworks]] reducing that mod about 50% of its impact. At advtrains I have no glue, as I dont use it, as I know its impact on servers.

Tips

2019-10-18T23:49:53Z

Thailand:

__TOC__

==== Dropping items ====

Dropped items will disappear after some time. You can change drop keybinding (Q by default) to prevent accidentally using it. (But keep all even you dont think to use them later: gras make colour, seeds make fast big farms, ...)

==== Lighting ====

* You can make torches from Lumps of Charcoal (burning wood in a furnace). You will need some Coal for some recipes later.
* Craft Super Glow Glass and cut it into slabs on a Circular Saw to get the most efficient light source.
* You can light cave surfaces from afar with Torch Arrows. But they don't always work.

==== Protection ====

* You can share protection in a Protection Block interface (right click it).
* You can allow accessing locked chests by friends with Keys.
* Protection blocks can be placed in a grid using the protector placer tool while standing over a protector and clicking in the direction to place the next protector. If holding sneak while clicking, any members added in the interface will be copied across the new protector.
* You can protect your tamed animals with Mob Protection Rune.

==== Chopping trees ====

Use Shift+left click of axe/chainsaw to cut down the whole tree.

==== Running ====

Use Special key (usually E) to run faster. But that will deplete your Hunger quickly.

==== Fuel items ====

The best fuel is Bottle Fuel that can be crafted in Biofuel Refinery from any 4 organic items (Sticks, Leaves).

==== Fertilizer ====

Cheapest fertilizer is Mulch.

==== Farming ====

Super Glow Glass provides enough light for growing plants underground in adjacent tiles.

==== Trading ====

Trade deals in Vending Machines are searchable on online map. The ones in Smartshops are not.

==== Pipes ====

[[File:Broken tube.png|thumb|A tube that was broken from carrying too many items]]
When a tube's item count exceeds a configured limit, the tube breaks and is no longer suitable for transporting items. You can repair broken tubes by right-clicking with a hammer.

==== Multiple recipes ====

When browsing crafting guide be sure to check all the recipes for needed item. Ores can be ground in a Grinder to double the output and Cast Iron doesn't require Coal for example.

==== Hiding your XP level ====

'''/xp_hud off''' will hide your level but only on your next login.

==== Combat ====

* If a Dungeon Master starts attacking you, the best strategy is to run up to it so it stops shooting fireballs and beat it up with a sword
* If you are in an area with a green beacon/flight and a mob is attacking, fly above it, close enough that you can hit it, but far enough that it can't hit you

==== Travel and Exploration ====

* Lava boots let you move faster and jump 2.5 nodes instead of 1
* Use a glider to move in midair, fall slower, and negate fall damage. It's just three wool and three sticks; easy to use; no reason not to have one.
* In mid- and late-game, you might want to make a radius 1 jumpdrive ship for long-range travel to areas that don't have a travelnet box or telemosaic beacon nearby
* Show the debug information (default key F5) to see your coordinates and what direction you're facing

==== Available nodes ====
* See: [[Tablesaw nodes]] and [[CNC Nodes]]

Talk:Mesecons speed advices

2019-10-18T03:43:54Z

Thailand:

=== Thailand ===
tested:
* about 2.000 mesecon [mesecons-wires] alone on a long, also crossed flat area, without any activation blinky = no effect on lag so so - with an blinky, even there was no sign of activity in server stats (done before mesecons_hud available)
* also build up 5 yellow injector (stackwise), where direct a mesecon usage was detected, even without any wire or machines or pipe connected
* my friend neighbour 3rd floor set to blinky on ONE mesecons wire for 3 injectors, they blocked them self - and I had seen that in mesecons hud with 12% - I rebuild them
So I dont use mesecons, and cant give further hints -

A Node is one like stone, or dirt. - Nodes are set together in mapblocks in 16 * 16 * 16 nodes. A complete mapblock is loaded even if only one node of it was needed!

A Gamer has an activation radius, mean from his/her position all mapblocks around him are not only loaded and shown, they are also activated, mean ABM etc. is running, grass grow ...
* active_block_range = 3 (this is standard)
This activation radius mean 3 times a mapblock = 48 nodes wide ! and all around you = 343 map blocks are activated ! () if radius 2, then 125 are.

*There are several different terms relating to nodes and their organization:
**'''Nodes''' are 1×1×1 meter individual cubes in the game, and are grouped and loaded by their blocks.
**'''Blocks''' or '''Mapblocks''' are 16×16×16 groups of nodes.
**'''Sectors''' are stacks of single blocks, extending from the bottom of the worlds to the top.
**'''Mapchunks''' are 80x80x80 nodes (5x5x5 blocks) groups, they are an abstraction used only for mapgen (the mapgen works on one mapchunk at a time, because blocks are too small to efficiently generate).
