Sorry bud, my Server Tick still goes all the way to 125.08 using your newest update of the mod. I'm gonna go ahead and try it with only FORGE to see if there are any difference. I am using MC 1.7.10, FORGE 1291.

EDIT: Using ESM with just FORGE, Optifine, and Fastcraft, the TPS/Server tick averages around 25-30, which decreases block breaking capability by 2 seconds with only me in the world. Sorry, but it's still quite unplayable at this point. I am using the top tier Mac OS Laptop- $3000 2015, and still I lag playing Minecraft with 3 mods? It's definitely this mod; my old mod pack included 120 mods and ran fine with an average tick of 9-12, including mods with tons of mobs such as Lycanites Mob and Mo Creatures having multiple players on the server at the same time. Perhaps the lag has to do with your mobs unique AI...

This is quite surprising considering the TPS improvements I got during testing. I have an idea of what is causing the last of it and that is the non-pathing mobs resetting their navigation when out of vanilla range every tick however removing that kills adjustable awareness radius with that set of mobs. I'll make it a configurable option and you can give it a go to see if turning it off helps.

Oh wow I stumbled upon a big TPS leak. Path capping wasn't being cleared properly and was resulting in 100s of duplicate entries.

I like what I'm hearing. Tell us when you have the update out, thanks!

That update was out as of 12 hours ago. During testing it seems that I could even run Chaos mode significantly better than before (still a bit laggy)

Just tested the newest version with only Forge and Optifine on a server by myself= increasing tick rate from 20-128. I'm so sorry we can't help you but only complain of lag. I tried decreasing the mobs detection range from 64 to only 20, and it doesn't seem to make any differences, creepers from 30+ blocks far away are still coming after me.

Complain away. Just makes me more determined to kill this persistent lag and fix other problems along the way. Very interested in that awareness bug though, sure you were editing the world specific config and not the global default?

You mod is cool. I like it better now that TPS is no longer a problem. I am making a modpack with your mod in it if that is okay with you.^_^

Sure! Just for clarification I have all my permission conditions listed on Curse now: http://minecraft.curseforge.com/mc-mods/229449-epic-siege-mod

It seems the global affects new worlds only as it replicates itself into the world folder, which is good. However, the lag persists and remains unplayable. Perhaps, PC users are fine, and this is heavily affecting Macs only since the user above just stated that he has no TPS problems at all? Either way, if I install Mob Spawn Control 2 along with this mod, I can maintain TPS to around 14-20 if I lower all spawn rate to 1 (that includes monsters, creatures, water, ambient mobs) and decreasing the max mob capacity from 400 to 70.

Well I'm running out of things I can optimize. If you can post a paste bin link to your world config maybe I can make some suggestions.

Try dropping the pathing cap down to something around 4. That way you can't have anymore than 4 mobs pathing to each target. Other than that I don't think I can see anything else that could be improved.

I too am having problems with this mod installed, TPS drops a lot and mobs trying to pathfind are just rubberbanding. I have not changed the configs and i am playing on a new test world.

Well if you haven't changed the configs I would suggest lowering what you can. In the mean time I'm going to see what there is left to optimize in the code.

I have tried this mod before, but after testing, decided not to use it as it caused mass destruction and didn't really seem to fit in with the mods I had.

I think I'll try this.

Are treehouses any good?

You can always turn down the settings to whatever your liking is. There are plenty of configs to customize.

Well I just did a bunch more TPS fixing to the latest update. See if that works any better for you.
