I was involved in the start-up stages of both servers, but the initial set-up differs quite a lot. The FA server had a closed test phase with a Thermos server, but we couldn't get the food mechanics working properly at the time. After that, server staff did not try another attempt with KCauldron, but decided to switch to full Forge instead. Shortly after that decision FA server ownership apparently decided to stop any further attempts and since then the FA server slumbered. For the SA server we're working on a Forge set-up with ForgeEssentials. Everything is working fine on a local server hosted on my personal PC, including the new dedicated map (with TA biomes), and with various versions of LOTR mod and Forge(Essentials) so we're pretty certain it's not a server set-up / config issue but relates to aspects only controllable by the server host.
