Run a Mekanism server
Factories, fission reactors and jetpacks — industrial tech five ore-processing tiers deep.
Installs automatically · Live in under 30 seconds · No port forwarding
Mekanism is the industrial half of modded Minecraft: 5x ore processing, gas networks, digital miners, and a fission reactor that will absolutely irradiate your base if someone gets careless. On a shared server that danger is the fun — infrastructure becomes a group project with real stakes.
Machine-heavy bases mean sustained tick load, not spikes. Guaranteed CPU allocation (not oversold shares) is what keeps a mature Mekanism base at 20 TPS.

Questions, answered.
How much RAM does a Mekanism server need?+
4 GB handles Mekanism and its add-ons (Generators, Tools) for a small group. Kitchen-sink builds around it push toward 6–8 GB — upgrade in one click when you feel it.
Does Mekanism include power generation?+
Base Mekanism has the machines; power sources beyond the basics live in the official Mekanism Generators add-on. It's a one-click install from your server's Mods tab, dependencies included.
Can a fission reactor really melt down in multiplayer?+
Yes — meltdowns damage the world around the reactor and irradiate players. Chunks stay loaded while any player is near, so build your reactor room away from spawn and put someone responsible on the control rods.
