Well it appears that the PBW server auto-processed at least one turn, and I didn't hear any earth shattering boom form the general direction of my garage so that much is ok.
Actually I had tested that much myself and was confident the turns would process fine. I'm curious though whether it seemed to use the mod data files correctly.
I'm also curious to see how long it's going to take to processes games once the empires get large and complicated. In SE4 it's not uncommon for epic games to hit the 20 minute timeout after 100 turns or so. Hopefully SE5 won't end up being more resource intensive and seeing games time out sooner. We'll see what happens in that case.
