[Pipes, pipes everywhere]

Yeah, I'm still experimenting atm with ME.

Honestly I'm finding using ME Buses easier than logistic pipes, just need to configure the level switches properly (and it looks neater).

[I cant go on tekkit]

Are you using any texture pack?

Could you try and start tekkit without it?

If you check the task manager while the process is hanging is something happening? (the cpu usage is 0%?)

[I cant go on tekkit]

What is your graphic card?

I don't think this is spyware-related, it's more like the rendering is not working.

[I believe I may have found a way to stop BC overflow]

I have yet to use AE and logistic pipes so please bear that in mind.

In that particular case:

Chest -> redstone engine -> wooden pipe -> cobblestone pipe to the engines -> back to the chest.

Unless you make so much coal the chest is filled up it'll not overflow, and you can still have one last step after the chest to trash stuff.

[Pipes, pipes everywhere]

Yeah, I know I will end up rebuilding, I just don't feel like trying anything I consider sub-optimal

I'll try and understand what ME does properly and eventually use some logistic pipes, I'll post here when I have more info :D

[Pipes, pipes everywhere]

I don't like the idea of using logistic pipes, then dismantle everything and setup ME all over again. I'll check them out (I am already on 1.1.5) but will try and focus on ME.

At the moment the main problem I have is that I need energy for whatever I want to setup, and sorting the biofuel plant is taking a bit of resources and a lot of time

Thanks anyway :)

For reference in case anyone else looks at this thread.

The information I got, moving from tekkit classic to tekkit main and checking the wikis.

I know it's "easy" to look at the wiki, but considering the amount of new stuff I imagine a quick reference can be useful (at least it would've saved me some time).

Buildcraft pipes are still there so nothing new about it.

Other options if you don't like buildcraft pipes are:

Power -> http://wiki.technicpack.net/Redstone_Energy_Conduit

Main difference between the two is that the conduit doesn't lose as much energy as pipes.

It will lose 5% regardless of distance whereas Pipes lose 5% (stone) per block or 0.5% (gold)

Materials -> Use applied energetics ME network. It seems there's no "low-cost" option (redpower2 pneumatic tubes).

I will need to try this, I guess it's possible to have a ME wireless link near the <whatever thing you want to get stuff from> and treat a http://wiki.technicpack.net/ME_Basic_Export_Bus as a chest, I'll update this post when I test this out.

So basically an ME network acts as a centralized enormous chest.

Liquids -> http://wiki.technicpack.net/Liquiduct

My bad, sorry :)

[free maps]

You mean you just want a map with a single island?

Can't you just generate one with a seed?

[Pipes, pipes everywhere]

As per topic, I am currently using pipes since Redpower2 is not into the new tekkit.

Yet by reading around I found there are other options but couldn't figure out the proper "conversion".

What can be used in the new tekkit to make better "smart" piping?

And what's the difference?

[Powering a Quarry.]

Hi,

personally I use 3 magmatic engines per quarry and it works pretty well.

Are you sure the maximum consumption per quarry is 40 MJ? I thought it was 12.

Honestly I'd like to use biofuel (just pump that to a bio reactor already near the quarry) but have yet to setup the biofuel generation -_-

*Edit

Didn't look like it posted the first time -_-

[Old Power Armor]

Kudos plowmanplow.

I was looking for this :)

[no cheating]

Look for your tekkit folder, look for NEI.cfg file, open with notepad (while tekkit is not running), find that line and well, edit it O_O

If it is not there you can just add it at the end of the file.

Also, please, I'll gift you a bunch of .,:;

Use them, I read stuff aloud and I almost asphyxiated on your first post O_O

[Show me your melons!]

Uhm, sorry to intrude, but I am working on getting melons (read ad biofuel factory) and I am slightly confused at something.

How do you automate the harvesting/planting since the range for those is only 3x3? Is there a way to increase it? or you placed those somewhere where it's not visible?

[So, starting tekkit main...]

I'll work with biofuel for now then

honestly I just liked the idea of the underground huge reactor, did a 4x4 nuclear reactor cluster monitored by computercraft in classic and had a lot of fun :P

[So, starting tekkit main...]

Ah, very good tip, many thanks.

I didn't think about that, got too used to EE2 I think -_-

[So, starting tekkit main...]

Annnd, that's indeed lovely.

Was wondering what the ME crafting terminal was for, but I'll just have to create one I guess.

Now, where to find all those blaze rods without cheating...

[So, starting tekkit main...]

I am using 1.1.5 so yes, I will try and get fusion going.

Still, I'll probably use lava-based generators at first until I get some raw materials to work with

Out of curiosity, I know EE was removed, and with that EMC conversion, but I read about Applied Energetics and was trying to figure if it works the same way, or what...

If anyone could bother with a brief explanation I would be a happy pands.

[So, starting tekkit main...]

Ah, good, I'll just start building stuff and wait for the next release then.

[So, starting tekkit main...]

Many thanks for your answer, much appreciated

Uhm, seems like there's no reactor yet.

I shall wait for an answer about the atomic energy mod and any known compatibility issues, that one does sound quite interesting :)

[So, starting tekkit main...]

And I don't know what I'll be missing from tekkit classic.

Of course I will "miss" EE2, but honestly that's the whole reason I am moving forward, game breaker IS game breaker.

I did try and start a server but I am a tad bit confused.

Normally before moving to all the fancy stuff I try to have some kind of "base" set up, which would include a limited amount of food/power generation.

I could not find nuclear reactors in tekkit main and was figuring if they got renamed or what else may have changed.

I normally have 4-6 quarries running in the nether to get materials but could not find a way to power them properly (except redstone engines, but I don't really like that, I'd prefer to use EU).

Are there mods I should add that work with tekkit main and would help me achieve this?

Atomic energy works with tekkit main? What else would be of interest? Any recommendation?

I am more of the "techie/scientific" type, so setting up chains, refineries or whatever.

Are there mods anyone feel like recommending that relate to this or improve gameplay?

Suggestions are welcome

Thanks for any feedback :)

Or use EU with an energy link?

Website offline/unreachable.

Check your internet connection/firewall settings or wait (it may just be overloaded).

What you're using now would be good to know :|
