Story
The cataclysmic combination of self-inflicted environmental devastation
and a global zombie pandemic prompted complete economic collapse! In
a world where stonks went to zero and the earth's slowing orbit led
to longer days than nights, can you survive and find your way in this
Rotten Economy?!
The wealthy elite escaped to their martian utopian bunker leaving the
rest of us behind on this shattered earth. Work together with your few
remaining friends to launch into orbit and remind those egomaniacs
that we're all in this together!!!
Build or take over an existing zombie proof base, search destroyed
urban areas for loot, equip yourself, skill up, improve your defenses,
multiple tiers of rotten flesh for resource generation, become a cyborg,
android or clone; finally craft high tech machines and rocket ships to explore
the moon and fly across the solar system to lay siege on Mars!
But be warned, server-wide difficulty increases nightly per player health
and expect extra challenges during each full moon!
Client Installation
- Do NOT update Tech Guns or other mods for now! (newest mods may conflicts YMMV).
- 6-8GB RAM recommended for client and server
- Defaults turn off fog, clouds and auto-jump.
- Defaults Dynamic Lighting to FANCY but at least use FAST.
- If your potato can handle it, turn up render distance a bit to 10 or 12.
NOTE if you are connected to the internet on modpack start, it will automatically download
OptiFine1.12.2HD_UG6pre1.jar
into your instances/Rotten Economy/mods/ folder and confirm the files
have valid hashes. So make sure you do not have other versions of
Optifine in the mods folder already when updating the pack!

Most of these can be reconfigured in the controls menu or in client .cfg files.

Tip
You have to map other mod keys as needed. Use Escape key to unbind something to Nothing.
Server Installation
Make sure to download the server zip file matching the same version as the client under Files.
Read the EULA, configure the startup script for the amount of RAM
available on your server, and edit the server.properties. Linux example:
unzip RottenEconomy-Server-vX.XX.zip
cd RottenEconomy/
echo "eula=true" > eula.txt
cp server.properties.example server.properties
# optionally edit server.properties
# optionally edit start.sh to change default 6GB RAM
./start.sh
Windows will be very similar, but you might need a start.bat script instead.
Server Commands
Make a team and join with your friends:
/scoreboard teams add MyTeamName MyTeamName
/scoreboard teams join MyTeamName player1name
/scoreboard teams join MyTeamName player2name
/scoreboard teams join MyTeamName player3name
/scoreboard teams option MyTeamName friendlyfire false
FTB Commands:
Misc commands:
/omshareowner add username add friends so they don't shred themselves on your OMPD fences
/gamerule keepSkills true only have to read epic fight's skill book once (auto runs this command on world creation)
It is highly recommended to pregenerate chunks for both stability
and performance! Example commands to start/stop generating 64 chunk
radius around your x/z location in the Overworld dimension (you need to
have OPs).
/pregen gen startradius square ~ ~ 64 0 TerrainOnly
/pregen stop
/pregen clear

Resource Packs
I highly recommend these unobtrusive resource packs which come pre-installed in this order:
Known Bugs
Report bugs on the github issue tracker not in the comments when possible please.
- If you get a crash first time, check RAM is >= 6144MB, you have OptiFine, and try again usually fixes it!
- Spartan Shield bash does not work with Epic Fight battle stance
- Some armor models and other minor visual glitches with Epic Fight battle stance
- Sometimes opening the Voxel Map (
m key) crashes the client
- Trying to visualize the Alchemistry multiblock structures may crash client
- Cyberware and ReWIRED Cyber and Necrotic Arms and Legs mess up Epic Fight animations
(Work-around:
B:"Enable changes to player model (missing skin, missing limbs, Cybernetic limbs)"=false in cyberware.cfg)
- If your client stutters and uses excess CPU its likely due to Java Garbage Collection which you can tune like this:
-Xms4G -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+CMSIncrementalMode -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=1000 -XX:ParallelGCThreads=4
