Enigmatica 2 Tweaked

Fork of Enigmatica 2 (1.12.2)
This pack is unofficial and is NOT affiliated with the creators of Enigmatica. I have permission from NillerMedDild to upload this pack.

Description

This pack is my take on a 1.12.2 modpack. It uses Enigmatica 2 as a base, but also takes some inspiration from other 1.12.2 packs I've played such as Direwolf20 and ATM3R. It is a great all-purpose pack for beginners and experienced players. It is kitchen-sink style, however it includes Enigmatica 2's quest book to help you along. This pack is medium-heavy, requiring about 5 GB of ram allocated to perform well. I'd say the pack is just lighter than ATM3R. As of version 1.02, some mods from E2Eu are included.

This pack does NOT include: refined storage, gregtech, buildcraft, projectE, avaritia, mystical agriculture, others...

Recommended JVM arguments

From this reddit post:

-Xmx5G -Xms4G -XX:+UseG1GC -Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=2147483646 -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:G1NewSizePercent=20 -XX:G1ReservePercent=20 -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=50 -XX:G1HeapRegionSize=32M

You'll also need Java 8 exactly, and adoptium.net is the best place to get it IMO.

For the server, from mcflags.emc.gs:

java -Xmx5G -Xms4G -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:+ParallelRefProcEnabled -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=200 -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -XX:+AlwaysPreTouch -XX:G1NewSizePercent=30 -XX:G1MaxNewSizePercent=40 -XX:G1HeapRegionSize=8M -XX:G1ReservePercent=20 -XX:G1HeapWastePercent=5 -XX:G1MixedGCCountTarget=4 -XX:InitiatingHeapOccupancyPercent=15 -XX:G1MixedGCLiveThresholdPercent=90 -XX:G1RSetUpdatingPauseTimePercent=5 -XX:SurvivorRatio=32 -XX:+PerfDisableSharedMem -XX:MaxTenuringThreshold=1 -Dusing.aikars.flags=https://mcflags.emc.gs -Daikars.new.flags=true -jar forge-1.12.2-14.23.5.2860.jar nogui

Note: you can usually get away with 4 GB, but 6 GB is better especially for pregen.

Extra notes for servers

If you want recurrent complex structures in your world, add the mod before you pregenerate the world, then remove it.
If you want LagGoggles on your spongeforge server, you'll need the latest version that doesn't require TickCentral. Use `LagGoggles-THIN-1.12.2-4.11-92.jar`. Clients can still connect with the latest version of LagGoggles.
Lootr won't work on spongeforge servers. Also remove lootr before using chunk-pregenerator.
