Per the mod documentation, we need to allocate at least 3000 node tall region to Nether. Ideally, I would put this at the bottom of the world (-27k to -30k). But, I do not yet know if anyone has built anything significant there or not.

However, the server also has defined everything above 18k as "reserved". We could take a 3k tall section from there (start at very top and go down 3k, instead of building just above the warzone, which ends at 18k).

I have found a few travelnets down there. Maybe some underground bases here and there.

We need to carefully analyze how many additional nodes this mod will define. Due to implementation details, a server is allowed at most 32,767 total "registered nodes". EdenLost is already getting close to this limit.

(from the startup log spam)

Registered nodes: 26154
Registered items: 27546
Registered entities: 328

I wrote a crude mod to dump the stats on how many nodes each mod registers: https://github.com/EdenLostMinetest/node_stats

I'm not sure what nodes are in "pandorabox_custom", but maybe we can remove those. I am surprised at the count of nodes registered by scifi_nodes though.
