ChickenChunks
Yes, chunkloading has been enabled once more. Everyone can keep a maximum of 11 chunks loaded. The chunks will only load when the owner is on the server. The idea is to be able to have your machines work when you're playing, while not requiring you to be at home all the time.

ComputerCraft
This update is a big one. A lot of things have changed internally in ComputerCraft. Without a doubt, some programs or setups will break because of this, so don't be surprised if your code breaks.

Mekanism
Because of a change in this mod, IC2 machines will not be able to output power into Universal Cables. To still have this functionality, you will have to connect a cable to the output face of an EU storage block. After that, you need to set the Universal Cable to PULL mode using a Configurator.

Note that this is unrelated to cables not being able to power IC2 machines. This is fixed now.

Earlier today, we experienced what appears to be a network outage which caused temporary disruptions to Alice, Vincent, and SKCraft.com. As of 1:30 PM EDT the network has returned to normal, and service has been restored. We apologize for the inconvenience!

I made a patch for ComputerCraft and Alice is now working again.

The server is currently down, and will continue to be down until further notice due to an issue with ComputerCraft. The Mod Pack Team is working to resolve the issue and we hope to have the server back online at the soonest possible opportunity. Please check back here for the latest information as it become available.

UPDATE: The server is now online!

Because of some serious balance (and some aesthetic) issues, the MPT have decided to nerf certain power generation setups that use Mekanism generators.

The setups affected by these nerfs are:

• Arrays of Wind Turbines
• Arrays of Hydrogen Generators

Wind Turbine output will be drastically lowered to a point where even big arrays aren't effecient.
Hydrogen Generator output will be lowered to a point where 'water to power' setups will be barely profitable.

Custom recipes will be put in place to convert your generators into some base materials again.

These nerfs are currently scheduled to happen on Monday 21st April.

If you wish to generate a lot of power still, consider switching to reactors and perhaps turbines from the Big Reactors mod. There are plenty of people that already have setups like these, and some will gladly help you build one yourself.

If you are still at early-game and don't have the materials to build a big reactor, consider using the various other generators from Mekanism, or the different generators from Extra Utilities, or even simply the dynamos from Thermal Expansion.

We apologize for the inconvenience this nerf may cause, but it had to happen at some time.

I made a patch to the server that should hopefully rectify the crash issue and not cause any side effects. ChocolateQuest was not removed.

The server has been restarted.

The ComputerCraft FTP and the IDE may be fixed now.

We are currently considering removing Chocolate Quest in the next 8-12 hours for sake of bringing the server back online. Unfortunately, both Chocolate Quest and RotaryCraft have been extremely buggy and has resulted in the server crashing numerous times over the past few weeks. However, we currently do not have plans to remove RotaryCraft.

If there are any objections, be sure to say so now.
