Lothos

It prob was the redpower voltmeter I was trying to use not having used either before. Output should be 2.5eu/t with full water immersion and I have 6 fully setup now. I'll have to look for that other meter and see whats going on. At the very least I should have 15 EU/t coming up from my mills.

my setup is the same except the cable comes out underneathe. Of the 6 I made half are working nonstop though oddly.

well, i made a voltmeter to see if I could check the cable, but I get nothing right clicking. I did fill the mills directly with water but it wouldn't fill past 3/4 full and they seem to be holding that amount now.

i built a 3x3 trough to set them down in and have been filling it with water after the fact. Nothing outputting yet.

Trying something new this go around and according to the wiki you can place them underwater to generate minor power and yet other videos I saw people have them inside fountains, but I cant make either way work for some reason.

Well, the brief time I spent the other day on the IC forums reading up on the forestry debate I found that was their general sentiment over there as far as the folks siding with "he who shall not be named". I don't want to derail the thread, but my view on mods for anything provided freely to the public was fair game for redistribution use and modification as long as credit to the original source was noted. Permission is not needed in open source because its open.

I got the impression from the OP that he was looking to manually do tekkit without the launcher. Your point however remains valid.

I am thinking about doing my portal down at my main layer 12 exploration chamber this time to hope for a much lower initial nether spawn. usually i've been lazy and place it outside wherever I was at layer 64.

yeah, but most arrays I go to build will be about 20-25 panels which even if I were still using MV arrays would beat out a nuclear setup still I believe.

I think nuclear needs an increase in power output possibility to make it much more desirable over the HV arrays myself. I definitely understand the desire to see people build transport networks over teleporting though.

isn't the point of the modpack to provide the mods without the need of multiple download links to each individual mod on a designated page of mods?

if you find one let me know. so far i have only found: sphax tekkit smp sphax purebdcraft soartex smp revival The first three give me problems with my java faster than my present texture pack and the last was horrid ugly. The cartoony ones just make sand/marble look too nasty i think but they have better cobble/brick than the realistics.

never looked at the turtles before honestly.

um, my ten year old managed to install this with no problems. Been playing for 2 weeks now no problem.

I confess to rage quitting the map. I died 3 times digging up thru the nearest stalagmite and having lava pour down upon me. It was only yesterdays map :/

So yeah, I've played alot of MC and alot of new maps and not once has the default gate spawn in the Nether ever screwed me royal like it just did. I am about 40 blocks above the lava lake bottom ( which is typical) but this time i'm alone on a 9x7 1 block thick scrap of netherrack with 3 ghasts floating overhead.

well, if you upgrade the panels as your resources come in it really shouldn't be no different than calculating the EU and heat in a reactor setup I'd think.

you need a 3x3x1 of water though if you're pumping from it. I had tried in the past with methods for lava but they always failed. You can do a 3x1x1 for water only taking from the middle as well.

you guys ban solar panels? lol

i just chalk it up to the nature of minecraft and the efficiency of java. You can try one of the methods for starting tekkit with more memory dedicated to java and see if that helps. If your lag continues after exiting tekkit i'd check that java is unloading from your process list. I have similar problems, but I know its java. I've tried giving it 1.5gb to play with but it always reverts back to 1gb :/

where does one get scrap from?

I'm lying? Why is it people assume nobody on the internet is like older than they are? Yes, i'm 40. Yes my first modem was 9600 baud ( I keep the 300 my dad used at his desk at work ) and I paid $200 for my first 4meg ram upgrade on my 486 home built pc. I also paid $250 for my first 2x scsi cd burner. I first started programming games in Basic on an atari 7400 that stored data on cassettes. I played rpg's that used dual 5 1/4 floppy drives because they were so huge. Hell, my avatar drawing is about 20 years old now.

ugh, dont get me started on lewis and simon. They make my head hurt. I laughed at one tutorial today by some other pair of kids and the one's mom walked in his room during the record and ragged his ass about chores and homework And by all means ask away. I'm 40 now and frankly been on the internet/bbs's since 300baud and lately i've gotten a little tired of the knee-jerk "use the search moron" response people throw out instantly on poor simple questions. If people weren't allowed to make new question posts after it was asked once already all forums on the net would be dead frankly.

i was reading a bit on the crops today once I discovered a mention of that as an alternative. I figured out my quarry problem. User error :/ The wiki really needs this added as info for how to work with the landmarks. 1. Quarry MUST be placed next to the landmark AFTER they're activated ( red beams) 2. It MUST be placed OUTSIDE the red beams in addition to rule #1 ( my stupidity here ) Not a big deal as once my sip fixes their issue i'm resetting the server map. 9 quarries going all over the place So, cheap quarry is 1 quarry block, 1 eneregy link, park 1 batbox and 3 LV solar panels on the batbox and you got a mobile quarry setup

no, the LV panels are the 8EU output ones...the basic panels are 1EU a piece. Seems to be 18EU to operate at full playing around with an MFE and the LV panels and basics. any size but the default blows the quarry for me on SMP
