No response in a few days, that's disappointing. We're at the point now where everyone is running around with full armor that all looks the same. We'd like to differentiate ourselves a bit. We've tried binding the menu to a different key, and I have looked through the server files to see if I could find a way to change it. I couldn't find anything, and the key change did not work.

Hello, first (or second, don't remember) time posting here, so excuse me if I am doing anything wrong. Anyway, I am trying to customize the color and style of my Modular Powersuit armor. When I press the L key to bring up the Cosmetic menu, nothing happens. Is there a way to fix this issue? On a side note, is there a way, client or server, to have the armor default to the simpler version of the armor, instead of the more detailed one? Or, use a model that is flat like vanilla armors?

Considering the fact that you could make a glass floor to look down at Overworld, I'd say space station as well.

Spruce? The reason I had used Oak was BECAUSE they clumped, so I could have more wood for less room (and less harvesters/planters). And no, I am not using biofuel. I am pretty new to this version of Tekkit, previously I primarily used IC2. Right now I have the harvester hooked up to an array of furnaces which turn the wood into charcoal, which is then hooked up to themselves and about 20 Steam Engines to power my two quarries and the other machines (including the harvester/planter). I usually have too much power than I know what to do with, but that's usually when I get an inventory full of Jungle wood and stick it in my furnace array. I am only now trying to see how good this Harvester does. What is the approximate size that Harvester doesn't behave oddly? I might want to shrink it and use multiple.

I created a Harvester (and Planter) that has a 11 radius upgrade. Currently, I have the pair set up to plant and harvest Oak. However, the Harvester sometimes, even with maximum power, and trees to harvest, just stops, and continues later randomly, as if in waves. Is this normal, or is this because I had not pumped out the Sludge?

Stupid, stupid me. I forgot about pages! Nevermind...

For awhile now I have been using the Mystcraft part of Tekkit. I have always been able to copy pages using the writing desk by right clicking the page on the left then picking it up on the right to put into my inventory. Today, while in the middle of writing a book, I stopped being able to copy pages. I tried breaking and replacing the table, and that didn't work. I tried resetting, and that didn't work. I tried relaunching the server, and that didn't work. I tried putting in and taking out some ink, and that didn't work. Am I missing something?

Alright, that makes sense. What was this high ID ore supposed to be, though? Thanks, I probably will.

I figured so, but I can't confirm it anywhere on the internet. I knew about the redstone, but do both Steam and Magmatic engines need water?

Are they compatible with Buildcraft engines, or would it be better to use the other MJ-producing engines?

Alright, I have been having this issue where my Stirling Engines quit pumping power to my Redstone Energy Cell for no good reason and power "builds up" within the pipeline. If I wanted to get it working again to power my Quarry, Pulverizer, and Furnace, I'd have to delete and replace the pipes and then the energy would flow as normal. So, I figured this was all due to my complex array of piping, and invested in some Phased Conductive Piping. I have used these before in the past, and they've worked, but they aren't working now. Right now I have 2 sets of 3 Stirling Engines with a Redstone Energy Cell in the center, which then has a Wooden Conductive Pipe connected to a Gold then a Phased one, set on Send Only and freq 5. Then, on each of my 3 devices, I placed a Gold Pipe and then a Phased Pipe, each set to the same freq and Send & Receive. Thinking that this wasn't right (since they weren't working) I tried putting a Wooden pipe between the output Phased and the Gold ones; this did not work either. Is the Redstone Energy Cell not compatible with Phased Piping, or am I doing something wrong? Or, if you know a solution to my first problem, what would that be? For simplicity, here is a rough diagram of my setup: Stirling>Wooden>Gold--------Gold<Wooden<Stirling ---------------------V-----------V Stirling>Wooden>Gold--------Gold<Wooden<Stirling ---------------------V-----------V Stirling>Wooden>Gold>Gold<Gold<Wooden<Stirling ---------------------------V --------------------------Cell ---------------------------V ------------------------Wooden ---------------------------V -------------------------Gold ---------------------------V --------------------Phased Send Only THEN ELSEWHERE IN 3 PLACES Phased Send&Receive>Gold>Device OR Phased Send&Receive>Wooden>Gold>Device (neither of which worked)

I created only a couple of days ago, so I doubt it is that.

Yes; however, I did this after rendering the area, if that makes a difference. All I had done was place a schematic down near the spawn area.

The nearest items to Activator Rail's block ID would be Bookstand, Black Decay, Crystal, Link Portal, and Book Receptacle, followed by Unraveled Fabric and Fabric of Reality. So, is it Mystcraft? Is there some sort of Crystal Ore? Unfortunately, Dropper falls between Activator Rail and any mod items, so Dropper could have taken the place of another mod item, and possibly even ones before Activator Rail (the Quartz materials).

Well, here is an image of the rails. In the back left you can see one more. I tried finding some with ore nearby, but I couldn't. If I run across any more, I will post a screenshot if they are near other ore.

Title: Activator Rails Replacing an Ore Version: 1_0_3 OS: Windows 7 Java Version: 7.9 Description of Problem: Underground in the Overworld, Activator Rails can be found in clumps as if replacing some type of ore Error Messages: N/A Error Log: N/A

I will create a bug report for this issue, but this thread is not meant to report a bug, but to ask a question: Throughout the caves of my Overworld, there are numerous patches of Activator Rails underground, as if replacing an ore of some sort. I have seen and can mine: Coal, Iron, Gold, Diamond, Lapis Lazuli, Redstone, Emerald, Copper, Tin, Silver, Lead, Ferrous, and Certus Quartz. Is there a missing ore, and if so, what is it and how can I fix this issue? I can provide a screenshot if needed.

Also, thanks for all of your replies; however, I know there are alternatives; I am moreover curious on why this happens.

I was considering doing that, or just use teleport pipes to skip the trouble area altogether.

The thing with mine is I am using golden pipes, so even though I have 2 quarries running on max none of the items "merge". I have a world anchor for the quarries, as they are about 64 blocks away, but the trouble areas are in our base, and since we are always there, the pipes are always in chunk-load distance. The spilling probably would also occur if we all were away from the base, but I have yet to test that.

The two pipes in question are a good ~30 blocks away from each other.

Alright, so I have this very strange issue. I have been playing on this server I have created with some of my friends for some time now. We have these two quarries that feed a chest and some macerators/furnaces in our house via a pipeline. As of just today, though, there are two north/south sections of the pipe that just drops items when we are all logged out. This creates much lag when we are off the server for long periods of time. They're quite close to our home, so they are within loaded chunks. I tried rerouting one of the pipes eastward a bit, but that didn't help; basically, there is a small east/west strip of the world that the items fall out of the pipes on, and it occurs in these same two places every time. I used MCEdit to look at the area of our base; these are the only two areas that has this issue, and there are 3 north/south pipelines that intersect this east/west chunk, and each are on different vertical coordinates. However, the two pipes in question have items travelling north, while the other has them travelling south. Some things that we have done recently include the following: make and use Turtles, attempt to upgrade to 3.1.3 (from 3.1.2, but we didn't), and shut off the server without the "stop" command (I had to force-quit the server). I am aware that I can get around this issue in may ways, such as sucking up the items with an Obsidian pipe and whatnot, and that is not what I am looking for; I am looking for why this is happening and how to fix it. I can provide more information and even the level.dat file if necessary. Thanks in advance.
