-DDSS2 Patcher + Boostrap -> My own new mod which is used for fixing other mods and general tweaks, as well as any future patches.
 It is currently being used for: -Fixing issues with multiblock machines,
                                -Implements new Sugar-cane growth mechanics-> accepts now bonemeal and growth faster sprinklers or instantly with Plant Fertilizer, stacking up to 16 blocks
                                 -Hunger-related tweaks
                                 -Anvil/Enchantment related Fixes/Tweaks
                                 -Makes all Pipez Upgrades having a Filtering System no matter which Tier
                                 -Fixes the working area visibility of all industrial Foregoing machines

Mod Updates:
-Updated Custom-Machinery which solves a critical issues when disconneting from a server or unloading chunks while machines are crafting stuff

The Undergarden (Performance):
-Massively reduced ambient particle density in all biomes because was way too high, leading to huge FPS drops
-Massively tweakd entities in all biomes because they had very large total spawn weights, which increases spawn attempts and pathfinding churn
     -> That tends to hit server TPS (and single-player/integrated server)
-Removed glowing vines in most biomes (only new generated chunks) because they check air blocks downward and can extend several blocks. Lots of vines attempts per chunk = stutter high cpu calcs

General Performance:
-JEI now loads again during world-login instead of after joining the world because of crashes with Refined Storage and FTB Quests
-Tweaked lots of Spawn-weights for Alexmobs to improve general performance
-All custom textures have been re-encoded and resized to improve loading times and reduce GPU/heap memory consumption. This should also help to minimise the occurrence of missing textures.

Mystical Agriculture:
The interval at which growth accelerator-ticks are applied to plants has been reduced from 8 seconds to 5.(Which menas its faster now)
Increased amount of Growth Accelerator crafting Output (Workstation 3 -> 4, Assembler 4 -> 6)
