Problem 1 is, or at least should be, unrelated to world size. Minecraft worlds are so big that you can travel for half a day with a flying ring without ever getting near the edges where things start going glitchy. The "can't keep up" message usually appears when the CPU is maxed out. Maybe you had a virus scanner cycle going off at that moment?

Moinmoin, das hier ist ein Englisches Forum. Du solltest deinen Beitrag auf Englisch verfassen.

Erm... except for the multiple page long one posted by the mod author himself, as a sticky on the nuclear engineering section of the official IC2 forums? http://forum.industrial-craft.net/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=7659 There's a new thread with recommended designs as well.

A few mods got bugfix updates and such. Check the changelog on the Tekkit website.

They should be located in %appdata%\.techniclauncher\tekkit\mods\rei_minimap. If the mods folder was rebuilt by the update, it's possible that the file got deleted...

No, you're being a baby throwing a temper tantrum. Go learn how to hold a civilized conversation, then come back. Just because it's the internet doesn't mean there aren't real people on the other side. You have no excuse.

Yeah, the issue is that you're allocating too much memory, not too little. Rightclick launch.bat, choose edit, and change: java -Xmx3G -Xms2G -jar Tekkit.jar nogui into: java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar Tekkit.jar nogui If you are playing with less than 10 people on at once (as I assume will be the case, since it's only a LAN server), that's more than enough memory, and it will work on just about any system.

Why don't you share what you ended up building? Someone else might face a similar issue in the future.

Ask the server admin what his log says about your disconnect, sometimes that provides additional info.

Yeah, Eloraam hangs out on Forgecraft with the rest of the Forge & associated mods crew. She often shows up in direwolf20's videos, showcasing new stuff. You could try the Forge IRC channels, maybe you can find her there (or at least someone who will pass on your suggestion).

Yes. If people are connecting to you from outside your local network (i.e. from the internet), they are using your public IP. If you need to connect to your server on the local network, you need to use its LAN IP. It usually looks like this: 192.168.something.something

Item splitting is a bit less elegant with Redpower than with Buildcraft, because tubes have different behavior than pipes, and there's no equivalent to the distribution pipe. You basically have to implement the splitting in the machines instead of in the pipes. Have the Quarry output (or at least the cobble) arrive in a chest. Place a sorting machine next to the chest. Remember that it needs Blutricity - when you're outside, placing a solar panel next to the sorter will do, but inside you'll have to build a thermopile or run blue alloy wire through the nearest wall. Also build a timer and place it facing the sorting machine. Leave the sorter in sequential mode (the default). Specify a different color in the first three slots. Place 4 cobblestone in each of the first three slots. Connect pneumatic tubes on the output side and make a 3-way fork. Create some paint in the colors you selected inside the sorter and paint each of the three tubes a different color. Those tubes can now lead to your three different destinations (cobblestone storage, stone making, and brick making). What will happen is that the sorting machine will send packets of 4 cobblestone first down the first tube, then down the second tube, then down the third tube. If there is not enough cobblestone to make a full packet of 4, it will wait until there is enough. Afterwards it will repeat the pattern. If you need to make it faster, you can a.) increase the speed of the timer or b.) increase the packet size (sending 16 cobblestone instead of 4 for example).

Put a sign next to it. Write on it "my e-peen". Do not sign a name. Watch people trying to puzzle it out :p

Did you manually enter an IP address in server.properties? If so, that is likely the cause of your "failed to bind to port" error. That field is meant to be left empty except for very rare circumstances, and if you don't know what those circumstances are, you are not in them :p

These are difficult times for all of us ;)

Of course they will work. Why would they not work? He is not updating to a new version, he just keeps the status quo. Nothing that works now will magically stop working just because future versions are not being developed to work together anymore.

Maybe your CPU was near-maxed out already and that was "the last straw"? Who knows.

Yes, it will keep working.

Ethann, that's pure conjecture on your part. Nothing any staff member has ever said indicates that Tekkit will be discontinued.

Uninstall both Tekkit and your Java, and then reinstall Java and let the Technic launcher redownload everything. See if that fixes it. If not: are you overclocking anything?

+ large amounts of red alloy wire and/or fast timers? + hundreds of redstone engines for power generation? + large amounts of moving liquid? + many open quarry holes down to bedrock? + a texture pack too high-res for your video card memory?

Not really, it's simply logic. The closest machine is serviced first. If that one drains all your power, the ones afterward won't get any.

Yes, 2GB is plenty for 6-8 people.

You could start by following the suggestions present in the thread you posted in...?

Unfortunately Teraku, yes it was/is that hard, because you didn't read carefully. He wants his computer to go to sleep, but Tekkit won't let it. (I have no solution either, I'm afraid - aside from a dualboot environment where you have Linux to run your server but can boot into Windows to play games.)
