I'd be interested in trying it out if I'm not to late to the party... Age: 29 IGN: PatriotBob Mods: Pretty much everything. IC2, RedPower2, BuildCraft, ComputerCraft, RedPower Control (FORTH... meh) The only thing I've never done extensively is EE, cause... it's kinda cheating...

I'm seeing a swarm of these threads pop up of late. Can some one explain to me the sudden desire to host servers on these things? Are they just trying to make use of hardware that would other wise be a expensive paper weight or what?

See all my machines and tubes are part of a main central system, so I rarely pipe something over 1 block. And you should try the RedPower2 pump and liquid tubes. I moves liquid a lot faster than BuildCraft's pipes. But like I said BuildCraft tanks are unbeatable for storage, so I tend to transition to BC just for storage.

I used build craft for everything in my last world, until a pipe overflowed we everyone was offline. So... now we have a new world... And use Redpower2. Little more expensive to start piping something, and barely at that, but it's 100x better as far as control, speed, and performance goes. Do your self and your server a favor use RedPower2 for everything. The only useful thing in BuildCraft at the moment is the quarry and tanks. (Many for dense lava storage) And once you combine ComputerCraft, RedPower2 frames and sorting. You can build an automated quarry devourer-of-worlds that never stops. Ever. Don't get me wrong I like a lot of ideas in BuildCraft, but it's poorly written, (thus hard on servers) and allows leaks and is out performed by RedPower2. I'd love to see it make a comeback with version 3 though. :)

To be somewhat on the dangerous topic of the OP almost asking for an ETA, perhaps a sticky post listing the current development status of all included mods would be beneficial to reducing some of the requests? (Not likely all... some people are just dumb)

Hmm... Smurfkiller9000's avatar seem strangely fitting for this thread... The problem isn't with tekkit it's with the texture pack. You have to added mod patches to the base texture pack. Find one for Forestry and patch your current zip. Should get you there.
