[1.12.2] AIReducer not reducing AI (probably mod conflict)

[Krutoy242]

There is no difference in running modpack with or without AIReducer.

• Im maintaining E2E-E server.

• In this moment we have 2 players online and ~19 TPS

• There is /forge entity list partial output. As you can see, there is only 42 rabbits:

  Total: 473
  54: minecraft:item
  42: minecraft:rabbit
  32: quark:archaeologist
  26: minecraft:skeleton
  21: minecraft:chicken
  20: minecraft:pig

• Still, this 42 rabbits consume about 2ms/t, even with AIReducer enabled

  This is result of LagGoggles profiler
  

• Configuration of AIReducer: taskDelay.json, aireducer.cfg.

• /spark profiler output: https://spark.lucko.me/D2UwIP5S1y

• Removing AIReducer mod have no effect.

I expect that AIReducer not working at all.

Maybe there some conflicts with other mods? Some kind of mixing incompatibility or so? How could I check that?

debug.log

[Charles445]

You could turn "Debug Mode" on in the config and see if it's working at all, it should spit out some messages like "Wrapped task with priority" and "Applying (mobname) delay" into the debug log

Honestly AIReducer is pretty terrible, it mostly comes in handy for when myrmex get out of control
The problem with it is that it only really kicks in if mobs can't pathfind very easily and are constantly looking for new tasks, i.e. mobs in pens, for everything else it's as good as useless

You might want to look into adding the mod rltweaker2, the default config of that should boost server performance significantly (due to the presence of Advanced Rocketry and RecurrentComplex in the pack)
It might be a chore to configure if it breaks something, but it's well worth it in the long run

[Krutoy242]

Thank you, I will take a look at rltweaker and debug mode.

[Krutoy242]

I enabled debug mode and I can see this lines related to AIReducer:

Where should I see useful information about mod working? How errors or malfunction could looks like?

Log with debug mode enabled
debug.log

[Charles445]

it looks like debug mode got turned on successfully, it's printing out all the mobs it can find on startup.
I don't see what we're looking for, though... It could be that nobody was around the taskDelay mobs at the time, but it's unlikely.

Here, try spawning in these three mobs with the debug mode on
sheep, rabbit, myrmex worker

See if that makes anything happen in the debug log

[Krutoy242]

I spawned this three mobs and debug.log added new lines:

Looks like everything's 'working'.
I'm surprised the rabbit stuff didn't do anything noticeable in LagGoggles...
The myrmex stuff is going to help a lot with performance though, they're nothing but trouble otherwise.

I think the best thing to do here is to just leave the mod in, but also to go through taskDelay json and make sure none of those are set above 10 (it's not doing a whole lot, but if it's too high it'll make the mobs lethargic)

I think you'll get the best results by adding rltweaker or rltweaker2, my current guess is that the mob's performance is high because of their collisions (which Advanced Rocketry messes with).

You might want to get Spark or Spark Unforged as well for profiling, their reports are harder to understand than LagGoggles but they are very in depth and very useful for modders.

[Krutoy242]

Ok, i will keep the mod then.

Spark

I used it before and see no differences too. Also, since my modpack have many optimization mods, some function calls so spread i cant understand how to compute them 😅
