Automaton! Make things automatic and be a big tycoon!

Automaton is a highly focused modpack intended to encourage factory building and automation using large multiblock machines.

Automaton is a questing modpack with over 200 quests guiding you through the major pieces of the pack, but only 98 mods, meaning it’s lightweight and quick.

  • You’ll start off with early game and the Furnus mod for ore doubling before moving on to Immersive Engineering to ramp up your resource production.
  • Once you gain access to steel, you’ll unlock even more power production options from Immersive Petroleum and Immersive Tech.
  • Once you have infrastructure, you’ll gain access to Applied Energistics 2 to help you organize your resources and kickstart your automation.
  • Move on up to Mekanism so you can start miniaturizing your infrastructure and gaining access to more powerful resource processing including up to 5x ore processing and a Fusion Reactor to produce massive amounts of power.
  • Along the way, play with Viescraft for exploring the world, Waystones for quick transportation around the world, and Roguelike Dungeons for challenging excursions.
  • Additionally, you’ll be able to implement Environmental Tech void miners and solar arrays.
  • Your factory will look great thanks to cosmetic mods like Chisel, Chisels and Bits, Platforms, Blockcraftery, and Inspirations.

CurseForge Lag & JAVA Arguments

RAM Requirements & Player Slots

  • Memory Guideline
    To avoid lag or memory errors, order a minimum of 3GB of RAM. If you are playing with friends or planning on hosting a public server consider ordering 4GB or more. You won't know your exact requirements until you start building and getting more players on. Don't worry you can quickly upgrade your memory as your server grows. Follow this guide if you need to upgrade.

  • Recommended Max Players is our best guess on how many slots gives good performance per GigaByte of RAM. It relates to how many players can join before running into lag or out-of-memory errors. Newer servers with lots of mods/plugins will have less players per GB, you won't know exactly how many players until your server gets busy. You have Unlimited Slots, set this in the control panel, use your slots wisely. It's a guideline not set in bedrock!

Why is Automaton so Laggy and Stuttering?

The reason is CurseForges' Launcher is missing the default Minecraft JAVA Arguments, without these will cause client lag such as judders or client lockups, commonly known as lag spikes. To fix CurseForge Automaton lag, do this:

  1. Open the CurseForge app
  2. Click Cog > Minecraft
  3. Add this to Additional Arguments
  4. Increase the Allocated Memory to modpack authors recommended settings
  5. Click the top-right
  6. Restart the Automaton, for no lag

Everyone who plays on your server will need to do this, share this page with your community.
