Oversoul

Thanks, while I love the excitement creepers bring, I did like to know the main foundation of my structure was secure, but I guess it will just add that much more excitement.

One quick question about this one. I personally loved Basalt as it was indestructable in regards to creepers. Is black stone as well? Is there any type of building blocks that are indestructable (by creepers) in this version?

Thanks for the replies both of you. I love that you mentioned the blocks taking a lot of recipe space, as I was hoping that was the case, I just didn't have a chance to check into it myself at the time of this posting.

Hey all, I am hoping you guys can share some info so I can convince my roommate to start playing the Tekkit pack versus the Tekkit Lite pack. We started playing Tekkit Lite as that is what I was playing ~9 months ago when I first got the game (which I only played for about a month, just now starting to play again as my roommate was interested in giving it a try). We both love a lot of the aspects that I am now learning is part of the Industrial Craft mod (I read this entire thread yesterday), which is not in the Tekkit pack. After reading this thread yesterday, it seemed this pack not having the Industrial Craft mod was no big deal, as almost all it offered has been replaced by like if not better mods. However, I am having a hard time convincing my roommate, as he immediately notices that there are only 16 pages of recipes versus 38 (I believe) pages on Tekkit lite. We both love complexity, and when you see such a drastic reduction in recipes, it’s hard to see how Tekkit could offer the same experience as Tekkit Lite. So, I would appreciate anyone who takes the time to tell me what the equivalent is on the Tekkit side for the stuff we have both come to love on the Tekkit Lite side. A quick easy question, is there no Marble or Basalt in Tekkit? We both noticed that almost immediately, as we both used a combination of the two to make our places on the Tekkit lite server. Now for the main concern, we loved the fact that you start with furnaces, you upgrade them, etc. Then you want a Macerator, a Compactor, an Extractor, etc. We love that kind of stuff, that you keep building more and more and more. I did notice that Tekkit has lots of new machines, do they replace everything IC offered, or are there some holes? Finally, if you have a general comment of why a change in 38 pages of recipes to 16 wouldn’t be a bad thing (maybe Tekkit Lite is just bloated with stuff that we would never use, again, I have not played this game much, so I am still very much a newbie). Thanks for your help in advanced! I want to switch over to Tekkit, as my understanding is that Tekkit Lite will never be updated again and Tekkit is the new supported version.
