As far as the plant growth/chunks are concerned... how are people able to build these massively huge farms then? They're not standing in the appropriate chunk for 45 mins waiting for their wheat to grow? On other servers, if I'm within line of sight, over 16 squares away, I can watch trees, wheat and other stuff grow just fine?

while it's true that plants are able to grow when nobody is standing in that chunk, it is generally at a very reduced rate. and, once again, since opticraft has a very low tickrate at peak times, plants will basically seem to not grow at all.
many people have large farms that are multi-leveled. since chunks are from bedrock to the height limit, you can fit many more plants into a chunk by planting vertically. this is the most efficient way to farm currently.
other people with "massive" farms that span across multiple chunks are likely constantly walking around their farm, causing plants in multiple chunks to grow. there's nothing special about these farms, and if one were to sit afk in one spot, not many plants would grow.
thedude114:
A little bit if advice: put your farm in a town. The poeple there all the time really help the growing.
Midgetized:
thedude that seems like a good idea on paper, but then those people will use your farm as well. I have auto farms at the edge of the world and still people constantly use my farms w/o asking all the time, even my wheat farm that they dont replant.

Thank you cschurz, you answered my other question perfectly, thank you. I was wondering if that was it.
I'd also have to agree with Midgetized about it looking good on paper. It seems that Opticraft has a lot of griefers (could be subjective since I haven't played on a server of this magnitude before) and that being closer to a largely populated area could yield you pain and suffering for the most part. One of the reasons why I'm not too fond of the /warp option at all. It's nice, but it can also be EASILY misused.
