matt8348 is right, I did mean mod updates. Mojang updates are something else, since they're supporting their content in the base game that I actually paid for. And yes dwwojcik it seems I'll have to get used to that... Luckily this game sees a constant stream of great new mods.

Hello forums, I'm asking this as a relatively new Minecraft player, and even newer to modded Minecraft. I just updated Tekkit to the latest version, at the suggestion of the launcher, and it has definitely messed up my existing game world quite a bit. Large magmatic engine setups disappeared into thin air, hundreds of redstone energy conduits replaced by disjointed hardened energy conduits, upgraded power armor simply vanished, many thousand MBs of fuel gone... Now I'm lucky that my little world was singleplayer, and I could in theory just give myself the items (or their new equivalents I guess) and spend the necessary hours fixing everything. Not the end of the world. But my question isn't really about the Tekkit update - how do you in general manage upgrading these packs? Is it recommended to not update unless moving on to a new world? Or to very closely study the update and make your conclusions? Somehow run several versions? I'm also asking because I thought about simply playing on a server instead, but that would leave me without clear ways to regain the resources any updates or changes might cost... So how do people do this in general? I know mods for any game can be tricky to play with, but now that I realized the amount of time and effort it's possible to lose in a game like Minecraft...
