I'm gonna go with "The admin did it, and he doesn't want to deal with someone entitled who refuses to work for his items." You probably had a ton of collectors and shit giving you diamonds and matter and stuff passively and he probably wants players to be more active. Furthermore, he expects you to freak the fuck out and go ballistic, so he lied to you because you're annoying, not because he's a pussy. That said, he might have a problem with you. I don't know the details. I'm just good at guessing when it comes to human personality.

Re: Next Go-Around, please configure the pack better for balance and gameplay And remembering to bring wood or food with me on minecraft adventures is easy too, but I still fuck it up on a nearly daily basis. People make mistakes. THey think about big things and forget little ones. I dunno, I don't feel like it's really a valid issue if you just need to change 1 file by a few letters in the server directory. Small price to play for such a handy and easily-installed modpack. I'd be more concerned about the blockplace thing, but I've never used world-protection mods. I run a server for a few friends and whitelist it. Heh.

This happened to me. It was localized and it was due to Quarries spitting stuff on the groud instead of their pipes or chests.

"Hey Tekkit fans, why is Tekkit so laggy for me? Please help me learn how to stop my terrible lag."

They're also prettier than the purple thingies. I'm grateful those exist, but World Anchors look pretty sweet, and better at their job. The others are still a cheap option. Does this version of Railcraft require minecraft 1.2.5? I'm half-tempted to try and update that one on my server alone, but I know I should probably just be patient. Or maybe play with it on singleplayer before my server gets it.

Re: Next Go-Around, please configure the pack better for balance and gameplay I googled "Computercraft error" and had the problem fixed on my server in 30 seconds. And I'm not exactly a tech genius. I'm really not seeing why this is so inexcusable.

Yeah, it's missing the Crop-Matron too. Lots of fun features in LOTS of the tekkit mods that have come out since the last update. Can't wait! Well, I can. And I probably will. Cuz updating the mods myself would likely kill my server cuz I'm retarded.

Honestly, I never tried any engines besides Electric til I learned of the Forestry thingy. I'm setting up some combustion engines now. It would take minutes, but I have to make every detail of my facilities pristine before adding any machinery. Damn you, OCD, damn you! *shakes fist* That said, it's a shame that Forestry is leaving. I might have to download it in singleplayer to try out beekeeping. It looked neat. Excited for the new Railcraft though! World Anchor Cart + Tunnel Bore!!! :D

I have to admit. When I first arrived at these forums to ask for some help with the Tekkit launcher, I kinda thought you guys were unhelpful dicks. But you've grown on me, and you guys helped me motivate myself to learn more about running my server. I am terrible at programming, a total idiot, but it seems that as long as people don't bring their ego, you guys will be very helpful. Thanks guys, you're funny and helpful. Assholes. :D

Re: Is there a version of the technic launcher that..... What a silly statement. All of human civilization is based on varying degrees of trust. Me and my friends started running tekkit on my server. All of us use the launcher. We've had no credit card issues. We're also FAR from being the only ones who use it on a daily basis. There are no reported instances of this, and it's nearly impossible to stop the internet from learning about something. It would take some sort of grand conspiracy of epic proportions for no-one to be able to link credit card account theft to Technic if it happens to all, or ANY of their users. I can understand being a bit distrustful, but you're bordering on extreme paranoia. If these coders wanted to steal from people, they're smart enough to target a game that has more money-transfers and less publicity than minecraft has.

Ahh, thanks. I am pretty clueless of the process.

Herpderp. Thanks. Sorry for being retarded.

do ChunkLoader blocks fix this?

Wow, much more useful. Thanks. I usually hang around the SMP forums and missed that.

Making the pack doesn't put the technic guys in charge of who goes on what server and when. Add these two to your blacklist, advise others to do so as well perhaps, but no-one here can "take care of them" for you.

Engine needs to be oriented to the pump (place the engine SECOND), the engine needs to be pumping, and the pump needs to be above a liquid. Also make sure there is a waterproof pipe coming out the top of the pump. Also, are you SURE it's a buildcraft pump? There's TWO pumps in tekkit. One is for buildcraft, the other is for industrialcraft. You want the Buiildcraft one. It has a little yellow and black symbol on the side (the industrialcraft one has two small dots on it)

Thanks, that's handy.

Is there ideal versions to use for 1.1? Can I use the 1.2.5 versions if I don't do things that require 1.2.5? (Like remove jungle biomes from spawning, set the height at 128, etc?) I'd like to get some alternate worlds up on my server, I have some neat ideas. Anyone know how to make this happen in a stable way?

Cortash, it can be hidden by the hoster. Mine was initially but after filing a ticket, they opened it for me (and it wasn't in the advanced options then, either, it was above them.) I got this to work: http://www.minecraftserver.com.au/blog/tekkit-2-1-1-packaged-for-multicraft/

http://www.minecraftserver.com.au/blog/tekkit-2-1-1-packaged-for-multicraft/ This worked for me. I'd try it. I wiped out everything except files related to this one. Please note, however: It will assume it's running on 8 gigs of ram, and you need to change that in a config file. My hoster caught that and fixed it for me, so I'm not sure what file. Good luck!

Thanks for the reply, but it's definitely not Towny. I know of Towny and don't really like it. This one just names regions, nothing more or less. I heard the folder was called "Interesting Places" or some such but I've had no luck finding a mod by that name.

What mods do you guys run alongside the Tekkit package on your servers? Mods that increase the difficulty or drop a chest of your items on death or something would be especially handy. I'm also looking for the mod that allows you to name areas. I saw it running on another Tekkit server (You are now entering "name"), and I haven't had much luck trying to find it within the tekkit pack. (Though if it's there, knowing the name would help a bit, heh).

problems were solved

Okay, so I've got my tekkit server up and running. It identifies it as Tekkit on the MotD, it shows all the extra items I can have, etc. But it won't spawn any rubber trees, indigo, etc. It also won't allow me to craft any tekkit recipes. And if I pull an item from tekkit out of the the creative menu, the entire server crashes. Anyone know what's up? I've tried deleting everything and starting over multiple times. I'm not sure what else to do. Could anyone help? I'm new at this stuff, so feel free to ask questions about my situation and I'll answer as best I can. I'm not sure what's what and who's where.

Alright, the server's up and running, but the recipes don't seem to be working. The game has the list of items and all that jazz, but we put 4 sticks in the shape to make a gear, and the "output" window flashes a wooden gear for a second and then it disappears. It seems to recognize the patterns, but we can't make any of the new items.
