[Europe][Whitelist] Let's play together :)

Hi all
I want to start a 24/7 factorio server.
I already had some fun creating a Vanilla one and it runs pretty well.
Now, I would like to iterate on this. I have two ideas only, so maybe you can help ? The goal is to create a 24/7 fun to play server.
1) Toxic Jungle mod : this would allow great multiplayer gameplay and I think people would really play together instead of everyone making his own little thing. viewtopic.php?f=91&t=22348&hilit=toxic+jungle
2) Having a weekly restart of the map
3) Having some MUST HAVE mods : what are those ? I'm thinking of RSO, AutoTrash, etc....
4) Join times : on public servers, something is really annoying : when players join, the game stops. And because of some bug (I guess ?) sometimes the server uploads the map to the new player at really low speeds so this takes ages.. I'm thinking of allowing players to join the game (with the linux iptables firewall) every hours, or every 30 minutes, during 5 minutes only. Would that work ? those times can be changed, it's just the idea. It feels a little bit rude, but what can we do ?
EXTRA) Making 3 servers, each with the following mod packs (from this webpage) : viewforum.php?f=95
* DyTech
* Bob
* 5DIM
I don't want people to install mods just to figure out the server isn't really fun for them. So... Using mods for now, in factorio multiplayer, is cumbersome. Any idea guys ? Can you comment on my ideas ?
Thanks for your help !
