I can't seem to find where I learned this information, but go into your chikenchunks config file and set clean up time to 0. No more chunk voids. This may have to be done server side for SMP.
Also helps server side to force generate the world with a plugin such as world border.
A new update is going live right now. Please back up your world before upgrading, as many IDs related to Calclavia's mods have been reset to defaults to fix a few recipe issues. I have hopefully kept as many as is humanly possible; any Atomic Science/Universal Electricity recipe bugs that remain will have to be dealt with in a rather more severe way.
This is MOSTLY a bugfix update, but a few mods have been added that I think will be appreciated:
Wireless Redstone Chicken Bones Edition
Redstone in Motion
Extra Utilities
Most of the UE/Calclavia mods have been updated, along with Dimension Doors and Galacticraft.
This addresses the vast majority of the known issues with Tekkit.
There is a known infinite power bug in this build that you'll undoubtably discover relatively quickly, it's a known issue the dev is working to resolve, so don't get too comfortable with it.
The Extra Utilities mod adds a few blocks/items with potential balance issues. I'm not at all sure it'll make the "final cut" but I am eager to hear your feedback on the issue.
I am hoping this can be the final beta, so start finding those bugs!
