People, you should really give Tekkit a try. It's just pretty much what minecraft should be at this point. I mean there's just so much stuff to build and play around with, and I've barely scratched the surface of the mods that aren't Industrialcraft/Buildcraft. The only problems with tekkit: 1) Equivialent Exchange. Its just dumb, imbalanced and destroys a lot of the other mods (whats the point of having electrical furnaces smelting large amounts of sand when you could just lol magic it into glass instantly without any cost?) 2) Performance. Just a minute ago I caught java using 4.3 gigs of ram on my laptop. Hopefully this'll get better in the future, though.
|
why would you care about how much ram it uses.. Oo if your system has this much ram, there's absolutely no pain in using it, it just makes it run smoother. And if you're really annoyed by that, you can always launch minecraft manually and set a memory limit, that should work with tekkit as well although it might be harder to find what exactly the command is you have to run.
|
That's exactly why we disabled Equivalent Exchange, because it was too easy to get anything. No need to find clay/wool/anything, you just pop in some iron and tada! all the items you need.
Working with Redpower mod now, those tubes are amazing! so much better than buildcraft ones. You know that problem where items will fall to the ground if the destination is full? With Redpower's pneumatic tubes they simply go back into the pipes, heading in the other direction.
|
I'm kinda hoping that Thaumcraft makes it into the next update of Tekkit with some modifications for SMP (it's currently in Technic only), it's pretty much what EE should have been in the first place.
As it stands, enabling EE completely just has no point at all, its basic mechanics are just broken and contrary to everything else in minecraft. =/
Since we keep getting more and more people I'll add this one to the rulebook: PLEASE PUT A SIGN WITH YOUR INGAME NAME / TL NAME SOMEWHERE VISIBLE AT YOUR BASE/BUILDING.
If you have multiple people in the same location, just put as much signs up for that as you need. That's going to make stuff a lot easier since we're already at the point where none of the mods know everyone personally. Cheers. <3

+ Show Spoiler [Pictures of cleaning up my old base, m…] +Cleaning up my farms, machines, engines, to move to the new area soon. My 48x48 quarry finally finished, but as it turns out, i need more room, so going for 64x64 now. Top down view of my soon to be new base, with a rubber tree farm i need to clean up in the bottom left. Flat Dynmap of my area. Surface Dynmap of my area.
I'd love to see more pictures of all of your bases and the progress you are making.

I'm heading off to bed but here's a quick sideview of my base as it looks right now: + Show Spoiler + I'll edit in more tomorrow.

I've had a lot of fun setting up my first base so far. I've stuck entirely with Industrycraft stuff to start off with but now that the main house is up and running smoothly, I think I'll be ready to branch out to some other things. I've sort of gone for a "high tech" look with basalt and marble and the redpower lanterns, let me know what you think!
My house has three main rooms with a MFSU power point and machinery in the center

New people on the server since the last few days (I'll keep posting those who sent me PMs here, just as a small introduction):
BenWesty, Charge078 and dawnstrider1 ~ Westy on TL and two RL buddies. Kooha & dho (obvious people are obvious <3) Hirotox aka gosuMalice (whose name rang a bell but I can't remember which. =D)
Enjoy your stay!
(If anyone feels as if the map needs to be extended because they feel that it gets a littble bit croweded / you can't find a cool spot to build, give me a shout. Takes like half an hour tops for me, but I'd like to keep the whole "extend map as needed"-thing.)
|
Added TOCHMY and canucks12 aka Scword. Be nice to them. =P
|
yay! I got added despite never consenting to it! maybe I will log in to talk to miarr at somepoint :D
|
Hurrrr.
Did some ninja-maintenance and fixed the problems with Hawkeye (now fully functional) and the iron dupe bug via the T2 macerator.
I guess next would be some work on the nether thingy, but I'm so lazy. =(
|
The easiest solution would clearly be to stop being lazy <3

Awwww... sad news for you Aixler and some others probably. =S
Once technic/tekkit will move beyond Minecraft 1.2.5 forestry will not be part of the pack anymore. Basically the author of the mod decided that he is against his mod being distributed by the technic guys and programmed it in such a way that any user with a .techniclauncher folder (or any of its contents) will create errors.

There are some people on the technicforums who already offered non-official support by tearing his code apart, but the official standpoint is kind of: "lol, egomaniac. We'll move on, np." ... Time for my sekrit Thaumcraft love to become integrated into SMP. <3

Oh no D: But my electrical engines don't blow up my quarry. (I hate steam engines)

Welp. There's been a similar issue about a year ago that I read about, same argument from the modder: "I don't want just anyone to be able to use my mod, people should put effort into installing and getting it to work if they want to use it."
I don't think it will be a big deal like NOW, but I'm not sure how and when the Tekkit portion actually updates (Technic is usually pretty quick, but they throw all kinds of beta and dev shit in there =D).
|
Apparently now that Forestry is removed from tekkit/technic, the extra code has been fixed.
So when tekkit updates, it shouldn't be very hard to add Forestry ourselves.

There probably will be people making it easily patchable for a while (e.g. IDs can still be a problem), but in all honesty... as soon as there is something that makes automated farming possible in a similar, maybe even less convenient way, I plan on dropping the mod.
I doubt it's going to take that long for someone to step into that niche. <3

Just a warning, don't move lava from tank to tank with bukkits. It will break your bukkits =*(
