FAQ
How do I make a town/corporation/faction?
You can make a town by gathering up $5000 (ingame currency), then using the command /t new [Name]. The server uses Towny for the commands, full documentation can be found here:
http://code.google.com/a/eclipselabs.org/p/towny/wiki/Commands
You mean I need to earn money for a town? How do I get money?
You earn money various ways, you can:
- Mine gold or silver, and sell the resulting ingots at the shop inside the market building by clicking the sign.
I’ve got some gold, but I don’t know how much it’s worth? Will I need a lot?
Gold is worth $25, and silver is worth $10 for each ingot. If you get twice as much silver as you do gold, you`ll need about 56 gold and 112 silver to create your town.
I don`t want to make a town though, are there any towns I can join?
Certainly! There are many towns made by players, whom you can ask to join. They may not accept you though, and don't harass them about joining.
Alright, I’m in a town now, how do I protect my stuff?
You can protect your chests by putting a block overtop of them, but only in a protected area. This way, people who aren’t in the town or don’t own the plot cannot break the block to open the chest, keeping your valuables safe.
How do I teleport places?
"/ltp spawn" will teleport you to spawn.
"/t spawn" will teleport you to town, costs $100.
"/t outpost #" will teleport you to that outpost.
Someone just killed me, and he’s not giving my stuff back, help!
This is a Player versus Player (PvP) server, this is normal. Please do not constantly fill chat with requests about getting your items back, most players will not return the items.
I need help, who can I contact?
If you just have a simple player dispute, try to resolve it with that player. Otherwise, you can describe the situation to a moderator (players with the light blue [Moderator] tag). If it’s a more severe issue, look into contacting an admin (they have red or cyan names).
I have more questions, what do I do?
Ask them in-game if they’re just general game questions, or if it’s a more detailed inquiry, feel free to ask on the forums.

Beginner Guide By CosmicBlock
This guide aims to help new players settle down and secure their items, with the eventual goal of creating a town. It assumes that its readers have already read the tekkit forums post and therefore know the basic commands.
1. Creating a relatively safe dwelling
First thing on your agenda is to find a relatively secluded area. Your best bet is to travel 1000+ blocks from spawn. Avoid sprinting and jumping as much as possible; food will be scarce. You will find close to zero animals on your trip. Remember to grab some seeds from grass on your way. Found a good spot? Good. Use the stone tools you spawned with to mine out a small dwelling underground. This will be your house. Close up the entrance with some dirt so people don't find it, and don't forget to mark it with a waypoint. Next up is food. Set up a wheat farm with the seeds you picked up earlier. You are most likely starving at this point, so you'll want to avoid mobs at night. Go mining while your wheat is growing, but be careful. Harvest your wheat when you are back and eat the bread. You should start regenerating your health if you are at full hunger. Now that you are at full health (and maybe iron armor from mining), you can go out and kill some skeletons for bonemeal. Use all the bonemeal to get more bread, and keep expanding your wheat farm. Congratulations! You now have a sustainable source of food and basic housing.
2. Hiding your chests
You'll want to hide your valuable chests under some stone and have decoy chests above, like so:
3. Making a town
Continue playing the game as normal with the specific goal of obtaining gold and silver. You can sell gold ingots at spawn for 25$; silver for $10. You need $5,000 to make a town. A town will provide you with block protection to cover your chests so you can continue to advance and eventually compete with other players when you are properly equipped. You may want to apply for another town soon, but the town you just made is to provide temporary protection.
4. Covering your chests
Now that you have a town, all blocks in the plot you just claimed can not be broken by outsiders. This allows you to cover up your chests when you are not using them to make then inaccessable, like so:
That's the basics. Just remember, it's a PVP server and you're always at the threat of being raided, so the best way to survive until you can get a town running is to be as hidden as possible.
Some more tips
When you go to spawn to liquidate your gold and silver, use the spawn teleportation (/ltp spawn and stand still for 20 seconds) otherwise you risk being killed by travellers
Avoid wearing armor (even nano) when travelling, it makes you look like a valuable target and you will likely be spared when seen if you have no armor on.
