I've made this site partially for practice, partially because I enjoy playing FTB. Let's get a few obvious questions out of the way: Q: What is this site about? A: It's a site dedicated towards the sharing of blueprints. Blueprints come from a mod called Buildcraft. If you don't know what a blueprint is or how to use one, have a look here. Anybody can upload or download blueprints, there's no number of times you can download a blueprint or blueprints in general. There's no number of times you can upload a blueprint(although that would be pretty redundant) or blueprints in general. Q: Ok, cool, what's the address? A: www.buildcraft-blueprints.com Q: Do I need an account to use the site? A: Not at all. You can use 90% of the site without ever creating an account. There are some perks that are offered only to registered users, such as the ability to remove/edit his/hers blueprints. Q: Nice site you got here, but it seems a little...minimalistic. A: Yes, and I intend to keep it that way. It's simple, it's useful, it gets the job done with minimal headache. Q: There are only a few blueprints there, your site sucks. Why aren't there any more? A: Well no kidding, the content is user generated. As you read this, you're browsing a user generated content driven website, and it seems to be quite an interesting website. If you like the idea, upload a blueprint and tell a friend(about the site I mean, not that you uploaded a blueprint). Q: I found a bug, who do I tell? A: You can gimme a private message or leave it in the comments. Q: Can I upload other types of files too(like CC scripts, etc)? A: Not at the moment, in the future, maybe. Q: How can I find a blueprint that I created on my PC? A: Read up on it here, it's pretty easy. Here are some sample pics of how it looks if you wanna see without going to the address: One Two Three About privacy: The site uses https, anything you do on this site is on a secured connection. I don't track your IP or such, mostly because it would put unnecessary strain on the database and I see not reason why I should to begin with. Random things: The site doesn't have any ads, nor will it ever have. Depending on the load it may be a little slow, it's still on the "testing" list. If needs be, upgrades will come. I do expect some bugs here and there. Again, if you like the idea of the site, upload a blueprint, get some content going. I'll stalk the comments and answer any questions that may come up.

Link to survey It's mostly dedicated to vanilla MC however getting a second opinion is not bad. Thank you for the time to answer

I have a laptop with the following specs: CPU - i5 2340M Video Card - GeForce GT 540M 2GB RAM - 8 GB DDR3 The problem is Tekkit Lite(well, Minecraft in general) uses the default CPU's integrated graphics controller and I cannot, for the life of me, make it use the dedicated Video Card. I mean for f**k's sakes, I can run Skyrim on High and I barely can get Tekkit to run at 20 FPS. I've installed Optifine and set everything to low and it's somewhat playable. Point is, how can I get Tekkit/Minecraft to use the dedicated video card.

I'm playing Tekkit Lite on a public server and my laptop tends to have small freezes that make the gameplay annoying(to say the least), and occasionally FPS lag(like moving in slow motion). I don't host the server, I'm just playing on it. Any tips/tricks to improve the performance? Laptop specs: i5 CPU@ 2.3k GHz 8GB RAM DDR3 Video Card: http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GT-540M.41715.0.html nonSSD HDD - I/O shouldn't bottleneck, but who knows. As a side note: What's a good setup to run Tekkit Lite with none of the issue mentioned above? Was planning on getting a desktop anyway.

What is your Minecraft username? - JunkyPic How old are you? - Eastern Europe In what country do you live? - Romania Will we find a ban record of you on a banlist like for example mcbans.com? - No What is your favorite part of Tekkit/Tekkit Lite? - Hard to decide. I'd say either of RP or IC What makes you interested in Sweden Tekkit Lite? - The server LOOKS good. Hopefully it's well administered and said admins/mods have some technical know-how to prevent accidents from happening.

I'm going to assume it refers to TPS, meaning ticks per second. Normally, it should be 20 TPS, the default MC ticks. When it's lower it means that either the CPU is having trouble keeping up or the I/O is bottlenecking. Of course it could be any other hardware or software cause, but these are the most common.

This, indeed, would be an interesting and useful add to the already fantastic mods featured in Tekkit Lite. I'm not sure of the legal(if any) or technically difficulties of adding the mod to the default pack, though. However, Tekkit already offers a personalized list of mods that one can download when connecting to a server. So, although Greg Tech would be a nice add, it would also be redundant.
