Everything you need to know about playing on our ATM servers, from getting started to advanced gameplay tips.
Once youre comfortable with the basics, try these advanced strategies to maximize your experience on our ATM servers.
Efficient power generation is crucial for progression in modded Minecraft. Here are some recommended power setups:
Start with coal generators from Mekanism or Creates water wheels and windmills. These provide reliable power without complex setups.
Progress to Mekanisms Bio-Generator with an automated farm, or Immersive Engineerings biodiesel setup. These provide substantial RF with reasonable complexity.
Advanced options include Mekanism fusion reactor, Extreme Reactors, or Environmental Tech solar arrays. Note that some advanced power generation may have usage limits on our server.
Important Limitation:
Our server limits individual power generation to 100,000 RF/t per player to maintain balance. Extremely high power generation can trigger monitoring from staff.
Effective storage management is essential with the thousands of items in ATM modpacks.
Start with Storage Drawers for bulk items and Iron Chests for miscellaneous storage. Use drawer controllers and upgrades to expand capacity.
Progress to Refined Storage or the early stages of Applied Energistics 2. Both systems offer digital storage with convenient access.
Fully develop an AE2 system with autocrafting, or use Refined Storage with add-ons. These systems can store virtually unlimited items and automate complex crafting.
Performance Tip:
Large storage networks can impact server performance. Use subnets for autocrafting, implement proper channel management for AE2, and avoid excessive pattern processing.
Efficient automation is key to success, but needs to be server-friendly.
Some mod combinations in ATM9/10 have known issues or special considerations:
When using Creates rotation power with Mekanism machines, always use separate networks to prevent RPM fluctuations.
While you can use both storage systems, avoid connecting them directly. Use storage buses to interface between systems.
Different pipe systems (Mekanism, Thermal, Immersive) dont connect directly. Use intermediate inventories for transfer.
ATM modpacks have multiple progression paths. Heres an efficient sequence:
