i'm having the same problem. and i checked twice, tekkit is selected.

in real life portable generators are actually about that size, some are even smaller. I'm actually the opposite. i like the colorful buildcraft pipes and i find the redpower pipes a bit dull. the redpower sorter is nice but limited, with teleport pipes i easily built a single system that sorted every mineable/droppable item into different chests with just one system, even had it setup so that any excess items that wouldn't fit into a chest would be sent to an overflow chest that i could check to see the status of my items. i could build it without the teleport pipes but that would be beyond messy and tricky. the system i had setup only took a space up about 7x3 blocks i believe elso earlier today i built a pipe from a farm leading into my house to deposit wheat. gf got mad at me and told me i'd have to move it underground or hide it somewhere since she didn't like the look of pipes >.< really wish i had a teleport pipe then...

another way to monitor heat is if you have (can't remeber exact names) the advanced heat dispensers(plate with blue X on it) and a water cooling unit next to it, it'll balance the heat between them and the reactor, just watch their health and you'll be able to tell the temperature of the reactor, or if you have TMI installed and monitor the numbers it'll tell you the heat directly if you hover over it. but i agree, the thermometer mod was one i found indespensable when playing single player and building a nuclear reactor.

using the buildcraft diamond pipes i made a sorting system that was only about 6 blocks long, sorted all the items i got from a quary and teleported them to the right chest, teleport pipes on chests were in the back so you couldn't see them, and the sorting was done by diamond pipes in the ceiling(glass so you could see the items moving). adding onto it was as simple as adding another diamond pipe to the end, i had all my items sent to this machine and it sorted everything. now if i was to do the same with redpower it would be alot larger, harder to handle, and bottom line it just wouldn't look as nice. but back to original question i had, is there anyway i can enable them again? don't think i put it there but there's a config file in the buildcraft folder which apparently enables/disables teleport pipes o.O has them all enabled though...

I can definately understand why they would be removed, it would put a strain on a high volume server. I myself only play SMP with a maximum of 2 other people and that's high for me. is it possibly for me to add them into my server myself? i tried getting the original additional pipes server file and adding that but that didn't do anything, after looking around a bit i found an additonal pipes info in the buildcraft folder but it was altered. I'm wondering if it's even possible for me to add them or will it not work with tekkit?
