Impact of Pipez on server performance
The server I play on doesn't have much logistics options (apart from intergrated dynamics and refined storage), so many people are relying on massive setups with Pipez. I've heard many people complain about the bad performance of Pipez, but I was unable to verify. Does anyone encounter TPS issues when using Pipez?
Pipez is not the worst, but the functions people try to accomplish with systems like Pipez is inherently taxing, you will eventually encounter TPS issues with item transport mods. Mods are always updating and changing, but I believe xnet was winning out as the least laggy option in testing a year or two back. It is not as user friendly as pipez, but some of the decisions that make it less user friendly also do contribute to it's efficiency.
Seconding xnet. It does take a little fiddling, but it’s easier than some magic mods I’ve used. And its impact on servers is pretty minimal.
Have you used spark or observable for profiling yet?
