I assume you are talking Survival game, on higher-than-peaceful difficulty.
You usually start pedestrian, with a shelter and manual mining operations. Then you set up Thermal Expansion power generation with coal or charcoal and a first simple (also Thermal Expansion) processing chain to double your ores, get bonus ores and smelt more efficiently.
After that, opinions vary. Some will immediately solve the power question with an early Yellorium Reactor. Others will set up a Minefactory Reloaded farming chain and mass-produce charcoal or biofuel for power - more challenge and complexity down that road, but tastes do differ. Everybody will build (semi-)automated Thermal Expansion factories to process stuff more efficiently, and see about storage space. The best solution is probably Deep Storage Units for mass items like Cobblestone, Sand and the likes, and an assortment of Strongboxes for the other stuff. Most people want to fill this then by using >Buildcraft quarries, and some will add flavour by using the >Equivalent Exchange alchemy options.
Once the resources are rolling in, it becomes viable to start your Applied Energistics ME network to vastly expand and simplify your storage. At that point, the energy question should be solved in a way that allows you to run at least one MFR Laser Drill and stop the tedious quarry mining.
At some point, you will have enough resources to forego that inferior armor and make Power Armor, which will allow you to run super-fast, fly around and generally be Iron Man. Take care not to catch fire from your new hotness, though.
 
Power in late game usually comes from nuclear plants, be they of the Yellorium variety or the more hardcore Atomic Science stuff. If using Yellorium, don't just upsize the thing, but consider switching to active cooling with the big multi-block Turbines for some awesome-looking addition to your base. If sized right, these will easily power all end-game stuff.
 
Once you achieved all that, maybe look into Galacticraft and go to the Moon, build your space station and plan a Mars mission.
 
That is just one way to do it, with several others at your disposal. Some like to use mining Turtles, or do some magic with Computercraft. Others enjoy the spelunking and will harvest lots of ores manually until rather late in the game. It's a sandbox, so bring your imagination. :-)
 
I had some fun building roads with the MFR "Road" blocks, which allow you to run very fast on their surface. Combined with Power Armor servos increasing your speed, running along those can be hilarious, as you can reach speeds that even exceed a free fall.

You, sir have come to the wrong forum.

Attention to detail goes a long way.

Did some testing using 6 different blocks for the power coils in a big reactor turbine setup.  I used the same small turbine setup to test the different blocks so it wasn't the most efficient test.  Your results would probably be slightly different from mine.  Each of these tests had 3 things in common, the turbine, the number of blocks used to make the coil(8), and the RPM I tried to stabilize the turbine at(exactly 1800RPM).  The 6 blocks I used in this test are IRON, GOLD, ELECTRUM, FLUXED ELECTRUM, SHINY METAL, and ENDERIUM.  Iron is the baseline, while the others are the best blocks you can use in tekkit.
 
The results: 1800RPM rotational speed, stabilized.  There is about an error of 1% in this test...  so +/- 1%
 
IRON BLOCK
output = 475 RF/tick
steam usage = 145 mb/tick
min number of turbine blades required = 5
RF per mb of steam = 3.28/1
 
GOLD BLOCK
output = 1663 RF/tick
steam usage = 253 mb/tick
min number of turbine blades required = 10
RF per mb of steam = 6.57/1
 
ELECTRUM BLOCK
output = 2376 RF/tick
steam usage = 289 mb/tick
min number of turbine blades required = 11
RF per mb of steam = 8.22/1
 
FLUXED ELECTRUM BLOCK
output = 2833 RF/tick
steam usage = 318 mb/tick
min number of turbine blades required = 12
RF per mb of steam = 8.91/1
 
SHINY METAL BLOCK
output = 3564 RF/tick
steam usage = 361 mb/tick
min number of turbine blades required = 14
RF per mb of steam = 9.83/1
 
ENDERIUM BLOCK
output = 5056 RF/tick
steam usage = 433 mb/tick
min number of turbine blades required = 17
RF per mb of steam = 11.68/1
 
With this information, you could design a turbine(s) that use nearly the exact amount of steam your reactor can produce.  This should give you the most efficient reactor-turbine(s) setup you can make.
 
2 more things to note when making the power coil...
 
1: The coil does not need to be a full ring of 8 blocks, you can have as few as 2 blocks in a given coil and it will still produce power, this allows you to fine tune your turbine to the amount of steam your reactor produces even better.
 
2: the coil does not need to be made of a single metal.  In fact, you can have a single coil made from 8 different types of metal and the turbine will still operate properly.  This is due to the turbine calculating power generation and torque requirements on a per block basis.  so mix and matching your metals works just fine.

There are many reasons to love Thermal Expansion, but I only recently found out about the (literally) cool things you can do with its anti-lava, Gelid Cryotheum. First off, allow me to recap how to obtain it.
 
1. Blizzes!
TE adds a new mob that is an icy counterpart to the Blaze - the Blizz. Blazes drop Blaze Rods, so Blizzes drop... surprisingly, Blizz rods. They spawn rarely in icy biomes, i.e. in Taigas or the fabled ice plains, which I never saw so far. Rare means rare, so unless you really like playing the hard way, a Peaceful Table will eventually earn you some rods if placed in a Taiga biome.
Pulverize the rods to get... Blizz Powder.
 
1b. No Blizzes!
If that all sounds tedious to you, just get yourself some snowballs. Easy, right? If not, find yourself someplace snowy and whip out a shovel. Note that they only stack 16 balls high.
Now place the snowballs in a Fluid Transposer, melt Redstone in a connected Magma Crucible for Destabilized Redstone, and be amazed. TE apparently included this recipe to allow for late-game mass production, but it will save you the need to hunt for Blizzes altogether.
 
2. Mix It
Apart from the powder, you need (more) Redstone dust, (more) snowballs and Niter. The latter can be obtained as a byproduct of pulverizing Sandstone blocks. You will get enough sand back to reconstruct half of the Sandstone, and one stack will usually yield 8-10 Niter.
If you got it all, just place the stuff in any 2x2 crafting grid. Profit!
 
3. Melt It
Gelid Cryotheum is a dust that does not do much, so you first need to melt it in a Magma Crucible (yields 250mB, so 4 dusts to a bucket).
 
4. But What Is It For?
If placed on the ground, Gelid Cryotheum acts much like a turquoise variant of lava, and will hurt you just the same. It will obviously not set you on fire, but that frostburn hurts, so be careful. It will destroy grass blocks around it just like lava, but it will (of course) not set fire to anything. In the open (not tested indoors yet), it will also spontaneously generate a snow cover on surrounding blocks. Which is a nice way to get more snowballs in a hurry, although a TE Glacial Precipitator is a lot better at generating them.
 
4a. Make Traps!
Cryotheum is a nice filling for drop-to-your-death traps, as it will kill anything unlucky enough to fall in, and has the added bonus of not setting fire to its surroundings. Build a nice wood-framed trap and snigger if somebody falls into it because they thought that there could be no lava here, or it would have burned... waaaaa!
 
4b. Cool Things
As of the latest patch, Big Reactors finally acknowledge that the icy stuff is indeed a hyper coolant. I think it surpasses Resonant Ender now, although test results are still pending. It also looks damn cool (pun intended) inside that reactor casing.
 
4c. Decoration
A very slow-flowing icy waterfall may be just the thing to top off your Taiga fortress. Or how about a moat of icy death around your compound?
 
Feel free to add anything else that can be done with it, or point out if I got something horribly wrong. I am picking this up on the fly, and sometimes I tend to be stupid. Credit goes to KingLemming and the awesome TE crew, and all the helpful people from whom I picked up all those information snippets.
