please update the server to 1.2.1 or at least 1.2.0 which fixes the memory leak which makes it currently unplayable after some time FTBBeyond-1.2.0-1.10.2.zip - Files - FTB Beyond - Modpacks - Projects - Feed The Beast we have seen now how "stable" those packs are even in release mode, and most players probably agree to keep up with the beta stream for a pack which is experimental and in beta progress at all...
Once 1.2 is out of beta we probably will, but installing non-release builds onto servers usully creates more problems than it fixes.
I'd say don't even ask for a second node until a satisfactory level of stability and performance will be reached on the first one...
Node 1 isn't overflowing anymore, so a new beyond node is kind of useless until expert mode is released
We likely won't update for 1.2.1 it'll be 1.3 for the next update unless there is major issues fixed in 1.2.1, however, when they fix major bugs or make big changes they release a new full build, IE 1.x rather than 1.x.x.
I don't know of this is the right spot to put this post, But I would like to know when the chunkloading pluging will return with the iron and gold block I find some things like gp needs to be chunkloaded for friends to use and my base is kinda spread out so my fps stay's at a playable state but some parts are not loaded and it is breaking my ae system. So a progress report would be nice on it.
Given how the server is running, the constant drops in tps and frequent crashes, I really hope they don't add chunkloaders any time soon. Certain people already have stupidly large bases running already, giving them the option to load their entire bases would just outright kill the server.
Once upon a time we had the staff to run around looking at peoples' cables, conduits, ducts, pipes, wires, and whatever else I'm forgetting, to make sure nobody did something stupid with them, like creating loops. Then our playerbase expanded and we couldn't afford that time anymore
How about looking for volunteers who know their way around mods and who play on the server. I know quite a bit of mods and server friendly setups. im sure other people won't mind helping others as well.
