  1. I believe it would be logical to rename,or add on to tekkit's name,as when searched or servers it is easily confused with tekkit classic as classic is refferred to as tekkit,and it should be renamed to something like Tekkit Space or something relevant to it,so it is not confused with tekkit classic.I hope everybody can agree with me on this.

    Though one could also reason for the opposite..

    Tekkit has evolved into what it is at this point..

    If you're looking for an older version of it maybe they should be appropriately named?

    Classic server owners should name their servers appropriately to attract players, and use the proper names basically..

    Which would make browsing servers an easier task.

    Naming tekkit appears to have been done to present previous versions with names to differentiate between revisions,

    to follow the same process once a new mainversion of tekkit evolves,

    this "old" one should then be renamed, there's been some good names suggested here..

    Just a different view on the subject! ^_^

  2. Has no one been to the moon on a multiplayer server?

    Sure have !

    It's just that the question you presented was not strictly about traveling to the moon..

    On my server we've got a designated area for launches, on both ends actually,

    so haven't really tested launching from various locations, and when landing I tend to navigate my moonlander slightly anyway..

    Since nobody's posted an answer to the location question I'm guessing most people eighter use launchsites, or simply haven't tested random launches,

    so why not be the one to test it yourself? ^^

  3. You're trying to put 3 Combustion Engines on 1 Wooden Pipe. Use Redstone Energy Conduits instead of those Conductive Pipes.

    Just make sure you use a Crescent Hammer or OmniWrench to turn the input (Where the engines are) to Orange instead of Blue.

    Indeed^

    The BC conductive pipes are limited in the amount of power they can manage, may also be a powerloss related to BC pipes, not entirely sure on that one though..

    (I've read/heard that they can only transfer upto 25MJ/t, and experimented to verify the fact that they're limited)

    But Conduits are my new favorites for transfering power, as they can manage what the energy cell can output ^_^

  4. Sounds like a good design!

    Only thing to keep in mind (in my opinion) is the tesseract's 25% powerloss I've read about..

    One might need to make several engines to counteract the loss if using tesseracts as a means to wireless power. (not really a problem, just worth keeping in mind/mentioning)

    Another possible problem would be lava, nether's lava-lakes can be drained.. (after a long-long time, or poor choice of pump location)

    So mystcraft can be useful by creataing a lava ocean biome, seemingly endless lava production!

    Remember to put down Dimensional Anchors though, to keep your powersystem operational..

    Edit: I'm gonna get to work on switching from my crucible setup into a pump-based one shortly. ^_^

  5. Can you provide a photographic illustration so I can visually see your setup, I've notice that the white hopper is able to deposit the netherrack into the magma crucible, however placing a chest on top of it is not working as an input storage?

    The hopper outputs items as gravity would allow, meaning it'll need to be on top of the machine or chest that's going to be fed items, it can input from an adjacent chest.

    This is how I've got it installed, have a look: (Vanilla MC Hopper)

    2z6ryg4.png

    The magma crucible outputs it's lava on it's right, which feeds the engines in the back.

    1 Magma Crucible can keep 14 Magma Engines properly stocked with lava as long as you input some netherrack into the diamond chest.

    The lever is connecting to both the engines and the crucible to make for easy usage.

    For this setup (and larger ones too naturally) it's best to use Redstone Energy Conduits and Liquiducts.

    To not limit oneself (conductive pipes cannot handle large amounts of power, or so I've heard),

    and to avoid creating unnecessary serverstrain, which regular BS Pipes tend to create.

  6. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

    • Head over to: http://www.technicpack.net/tekkit
    • Grab the 1.0.5 serverfiles
    • Install the server to a new location (new folder)
    • Might wanna launch the server to make all mods generate their files properly, then shut it down..
    • Keep your world and OP settings by just copying over the "world" folder & the "ops.txt" config from the old server folder to your new one..
    • Profit!

    Best of luck!

  7. Server issue I take it?

    Have you made sure you're using the latest recommended version of the serverpack? (1.0.3 as of this message)

    Have you made sure that your java is updated?

    Tried re-unpacking/installing the server? (to a new folder/location on your haddrive)

  8. Try using another Virtual LAN Service, "Tunngle" might do the trick if you're lucky!

    or..

    You could do stuff to the router/modem and open some ports to bypass the need for VLAN..?

    Also, check that all connectiong player's have got the latest version of java, older versions may not work as well..

    Best of luck!

  9. You do know u look stupid iv front of everyone -.-

    Same goes for you.. ^_^

    There's a parachute available for the powersuit, if you've got it you can jump of cliffs, and then hold your "sneak key" (Default: Shift) and slowly decend to the ground.

    If the question was aimed for spacetravels, then what DarkDemon said is indeed correct.

  10. If you've got a powersuit, you should've already done power production. (by my standards)

    10 Magmatic Engines will produce 40MJ/t, 1 Magma Crucible will require 40MJ/t to run at 100%, put in a Redstone Energy Cell for storage,

    and add a few extra Magma Engines and you'll have extra energy produced..

    Add too many extra engines, and you'll have to add another crucible to keep up with the engine's lava requirements, so work the balance.

    The crucible should be fed with netherrack, which shouldn't be a problem once a quarry is placed in the nether ^_^

    Then just connect a hopper to the crucible and have it extract from a chest!

  11. What, those things come with automated inventory retrieval mechanisms. Just stick a chest next to it and adjust the configuration for it.

    Thanks!

    That appeared to do the trick, now I'll go setup the Magma Crucible with some netherrack feeding!

    Hadn't played around with hoppers, so I didn't know that..

    But that solved my problem. (Regular "gray" hoppers work this way, the white ones doesn't seem to work the same way though)

    Experiment

    I've put a Diamond chest on the ground, 2 hoppers just for the sake of testing on top of the chest, and then put another diamond chest on top with loads of items in it.

    So the illustration would look like this:

    Layer 3 (Top) - Chest (Input)

    Layer 2 - Hopper

    Layer 1 - Hopper

    Layer 0 (Bottom) - Chest (Output)

  12. So I've got a Magmatic Crucible connected to a bunch of Magmatic Engines,

    producing power which is stored in a Redstone Energy Cell..

    The engines get enough lava from the crucible,

    and output plenty power into the energy cell which routes some of it back to the crucible..

    Only thing I ever need to input is netherrack for the crucible.

    __________________________________________________

    Now to the problem at hand:

    How do I automatically feed the crucible netherrack? (I don't want to use overflowing pipes)

    I know I could connect a hopper to the crucible to auto-feed 4-5 stack depending on which hopper I use,

    but I'll still want something to feed the hopper when needed, and without overflow..

    I haven't played around with automated item management yet,

    so I wanna know if there's a rather simple method I've missed/overlooked?

    How can I optimize & automate the crucible feeding process?

    and/or

    How can I best feed a magma crucible without overflowing pipes?

  13. A bunch of 'magmatic engines' and a few 'magma crucibles' will provide plenty of energy, store it in a series of 'redstone energy cells' and you're good to go!

    A few trips to the nether might be nessessary though, simply to be able to feed the crucibles with netherrack from time to time..

    BioFuel might also be interesting, once some farm's are ready to supply the resources needed..
