Server-friendly Alternative for Flux-Dust Generation in the Late Game
Describe your suggestion
The Problem
Flux Dust production (with Obsidian hitting Bedrock) is extremly heavy on our server (we get delays > 10s when we produce stacks of it). In the ultra-lategame (we're aiming for the World Shaper right now), we need tremendous amounts of it, so the Obsidian Bee won't do the trick.
Some First Ideas
It would be neat if there was some machine recipe to produce it. My first suggestion would be a receipe for the Antiprotonic Nucleosynthesizer, but I'm not sure that would cover the numbers of Flux Dust one needs for, say, the Dimensional Mastery Shard - maybe one which converts Redstone with Obsidian Honey :D? Or it could be an side product of a Masterful Machinery - imo the Industrial Deuterium Plant and the Stellar Neutron Activator feel rather useless at the moment (a max Fission Reactor for Antimatter makes any other power source obsolete), so those might gain some relevance this way.
Why would you like this added/changed?
Producing huge amounts of Flux Dust can be easily achieved with some Modular Routers and a bit wiring. A Storage Drawer with a Redstone Upgrade ensures you always have a neat stack of it in your system. It's cheap, and you can produce it aplenty. So, in theory, the problem is solved and in the late-game you don't have to mind Flux Dust anymore. But in practise, it kills the server. So I'ld ask for something like "Okay, you've solved that problem, so here's the infinite amount of Flux Dust without that server load." We cheated a Vendor Upgrade for that, but this is subpar ofc.
I like the idea, but I'm not so sure we have the bandwidth to implement it :/
I can imagine, lots of Enigmatica installments to maintain. I don't have any knowledge about modding, but maybe it would be more straight-forward to set up Flux Dust trophy which provides infinite amounts? Not sure though, the balancing between "can be achieved to easily" and "you've got to go through an incredible lag fest to get there" might probably be rather hard. But anyway, it's all just a suggestion and maybe not worth the hassle. Speaking for myself, I've made my peace with the Vendor Upgrade. :)
Not worth it at the moment I'm afraid, but let's keep this open in case we find time :)
