Note if you're not technical and cant get through this guide, remember you can
get a lot of speedup by just having the stock game use more cores with
something like df.setMinerCores(16) in the console. So try that first.
This rust package pulls out the fog of war miner to its own binary with a webserver for in game plugins to talk to it. It provides faster results than the built in javascript miner on the same machine. If you're using it on the same machine as the game Pause your in game miner as theyll just compete with eachother and give WORSE results. It also can run remotely in the cloud or even a rapsberry pi 4 has been found to provide 1-2k hashes.
The rust miner on the same machine as your game can be faster than the javascript because it can more fully utilize the processor. But if you're running on the same machine as the game, pause the in game miner. They're just going to compete with eachother and give you worse peformance.
- Install rust for your operating system probably with
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh - The rocket webserver requires nightly so add that
rustup install nightly - Install with
cargo +nightly install --git https://github.com/jacobrosenthal/mimc-fast --branch v5 - Run it with
mimc-fast - Connect to it with an in game plugin like RemoteExplorePlugin.js
Be warned this costs money. Google apparently offer a bunch of free credits to start though so this can be cheap for a while. I offer no support for this so don't post questions about this cloud service, or any others. PRs are welcome to make the docker files more accomodating though.
- Fork the plugin to your own repo on Github
- Make a new project on Google Cloud Run
- Go to https://console.cloud.google.com/run
- Click "+ Create Service"
- Choose the server you wanna use and the name of the service
- Choose "continuously deploy from source repository
- Click "setup with cloud build" and then connect it to the repo
- Change the advanced settings - port is 8000 and then change the memory/cpus according to what you want (2gb memory, 4cpu has been reported as ~4k hashes)
- Setup trigger and then start it
To test its working you can do a quick curl curl --data '{"chunkFootprint": { "bottomLeft": { "x": 0, "y": 0 }, "sideLength": 256 }, "planetRarity":16384}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST localhost:8000/mine
Remember to pause the built in miner if you're running it on the same machine as the game client or theyll just fight eachother.
If its taking too much performance from the rest of your desktop experience you
can try running with limited cores RAYON_NUM_THREADS=4 cargo run
