The problem has already been resolved, but we don't use bukkit emulation of any kind, so we don't have World Edit, it's just a "vanilla" Tekkit Server, and we don't cheat either ;)

I recently discovered all the wonderful things you can do with this mod in Tekkit Lite, so as a demonstration of purpose, I built a small semi-automated potato farm. It worked great except for one thing... My farmer cart looks like it's going to murder baby seals or something.. I've tried logging out, I've tried breaking and replacing the cart. I can't seem to fix it.

Well my server would like to disagree with you, this mess was caused by my brother, and it actually dragged the server down to an unusable state. He didn't know, and I didn't know how to help him, which is why I originally came here to begin with. My experience with Tekkit was pretty limited and I hadn't used things like the filler before, and I didn't even know they existed. Yes I can totally agree, you do.. you DON'T want a mechanic of the game to crash your server, which it did in this case. Causing it to be unusable for a lengthy period of time until everything finally catches up. Especially during the draining process. I did use the filler to fill in the area 8 blocks deep where all the water sources where and then some just to be sure of the deep spots in the small bodies of water that were there when my brother built the thing initially. All is well now and we're all the wiser.

Cool story, I had a smaller quarry with not nearly as much water as this and cleared it out by hand by filling in the source blocks. It caused a tremendous amount of lag. It's hosted on my home desktop computer and it's just me and a few people that play. I'd rather not swim. The filler did it's job and did it quite well. no more water and the quarry is back to work without frustration on my behalf.

Yes, it is quite necessary, it's not about the quarry operation it's about the lag that that much flowing water causes on my server. In addition I like to go down to the bottom and pick all the things the quarry usually miss by hand on the sidewalls. A metric ***ton of water really impedes my ability to do that. I ended up using a Filler and stopping the quarry process.

Yeah it's a pretty good sized quarry. I think I'll just do what you mentioned by draining it with the pump since I already have a couple of those, filling up tanks, breaking and replacing them. I just hoped there was something simpler and a little faster method of doing this. **Edit** Yes it says Oil Penis.. first one I'd ever found that was like 30 blocks off the surface and my brother playing on the server with me named it so.

I've got a large quarry with a considerable amount of liquid in it. I know I can pump it out into tanks but is there any other way that I can basically destroy it, since strainers are no more and no volcanite amulets etc.. what can I do otherwise, I don't want the water and it's causing a serious strain on my server.
