You'll need to use two HV transformers. [HV Transformer] ^ | [reactor] ----> [HV cable] | v [HV Transformer] As long as both transformers are the same distance away, the reactor should recognize two valid destinations and split its 2400 EU packet into two 1200 EU packets. That won't fry the cable or the transformers.

Personally I never saw the point of EE as a mod as a whole. It doesn't seem to add anything to gameplay... well, I suppose the flying ring is nicer than IC2's jetpack. But, having disabled EE on my server, my friends and I have never felt like we're missing anything. There's no feature that we wish we had, no key block or structure missing from our grand designs, nobody saying "I could do this so much better if I could just use X". We still have more resources than we could possibly ever use up, too. It's like despite its massive popularity, the mod has barely any content at all. I was glad to hear that the mod is now under new management and that apparently Thaumcraft 2 had a significant impact on Pahimar's vision for EE3. If he can move it away from the passive resource gimmick and towards actual content and gameplay, he will create a far more interesting and compelling mod (and one that might actually be allowed to run on a server for a change).

Try putting the geothermal generator directly on top of the MFSU, and run a waterproof pipe from the pump to the geothermal. I am not sure the geothermal can accept a direct machine-to-machine transfer since the pump is from a different mod. However, it is specifically made compatible with waterproof pipes. Conveniently, you don't need a wooden waterproof pipe + redstone engine to move lava out of the pump; the pump has that function integrated. So just hook up some cobblestone waterproof pipe directly. Output stopping at 20k means that a single bucket worth of lava was processed (because one lava bucket/block = 20,000 EU). The buildcraft pump has a range of over 30 blocks in all directions from the point where its pipe touches down. Your building location should not matter.

try adding [buildcraft] to ops.txt to make it an admin. That is the fake player buildcraft uses to place and remove blocks.

Redstone engines work fine, you just need to wait for them to warm up for a few minutes. Obviously they won't do while still running blue. Four engines running orange/red will nearly saturate a waterproof pipe.

The first step is using the search function.

Another option: Buildcraft pump filling a Buildcraft tank with lava. Point your deployer at said tank. It will fill the buckets from the tank's contents.

Well, here's a screenshot of how it looked: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/44754370/2012-04-22_17.10.19.png

Well, the two popular options existing right now is Sphax PureBDCraft, which uses a vector graphics comic style; and the Faithful pack, which is the look of vanilla Minecraft implemented in 32x. You could do classic RPG pixel art - there used to be a pack for vanilla that did this and I adored it, but unfortunately it no longer exists. The downside is that it's a lot of work. Another thing you could do is for example add mod-specific textures to Dokucraft, which is hugely popular but doesn't for example have Buildcraft or Redpower textures.

I am having a giggle fit right now about the water strainer hat. It's got a face of its own! :D

Off the top of my head, a sorting machine in sequential mode will do it. Just have it sort the same item in each of its slots, and give each slot a different color. There may be other solutions.

The server owner can specify in their server.properties file the area to be loaded around each player. It must be set really small for the server you mention.

I think you're going to get recursive soon if you keep going like this :D

Odd. Never experienced anything like that.

Define "comes out". When you craft it? When you look at it in your inventory? When you hold it in hand? When you place it on the ground? When it is pumped through pipes? Also: are you using a texture pack?

Are you using a texture pack? If so, switch back to the default Minecraft textures and see if that changes anything. Also, you should really get 64bit Java, unrelated to any issues ;)

The problem with "Connected: 0" is that teleport pipes are bugged to all heaven and often don't work unless they're reasonably close together (and even then they randomly lose connections now and then). On my server we've never managed to get any teleport pipe (of any kind) to reliably work if it was more than 20-30 blocks away. And at that distance you might as well use normal pipes. For long distance transfers we shuffle items, buckets and Industrialcraft batteries through Enderchests instead.

Don't doublepost, use the edit button. I also find it hard to believe that you are running a Tekkit server and people are not using any pipes or tubes. Go visit your friend and check out what he's doing. Generally, disconnect.overflow happens when a user overloads the server in some way. I have seen this happen through excessive item spill, rampant forest fires, and spamming lots of red alloy wire attached to timers.

All cables can take an unlimited amount of packets. Cables are only limited by packet size. All things that send power send packets sized equal to their output rating, once per tick (20 packets per second). A solar panel is rated at 1 EU/t. It will send packets sized 1 EU, once per tick. A geothermal generator is rated at 20 EU/t. It will send packets sized 20 EU, once per tick. A Batbox is rated at 32 EU. It will send packets sized 32 EU, once per tick. And so on! Any cable that receives even a single packet larger than it is built for will vaporize. Any machine that receives even a single packet larger than it is built for will explode, with varying severity.

They are part of Tekkit. They should auto-download when you run the launcher.

That's actually really neat. I never thought of using inline Filters for sorting! (And I expect that 95%+ people building a sorting system don't, either) The setup I have in my factory is far more complex, but then again it also has multiple item splitting and autocrafting stages integrated. For example, it makes diamonds out of coal, gravel, water cells and level cells (important since my server has no EE with which to dupe diamonds at will). But at the same time it also splits a small percentage of coal dust off in the middle and returns it as output, because I might need it for carbon plates or solar panels or similar things. And since an IC2 miner with pump will produce coal, lava cells and gravel by itself, all I need to do manually add to the system is a couple stacks of water cells every few days, and voila, I receive diamonds in the output chest. Considering this was my first time playing Tekkit and I had no prior knowledge, I am reasonably proud of it :)

We don't know. That's not a feature of Tekkit, but something that whoever runs that server installed in addition.

Odd. I get that message on every startup and my server works just fine. It must be a different problem.

I don't believe there has been any official statement yet on what format Technic/Tekkit will be released in come the next update. After all, the lines will be blurring a bit - Technic as a singpleplayer pack will have to support LAN multiplayer at least, and Tekkit has always had a singleplayer mode by default. Maybe Technic and Tekkit will be merged into one pack that caters to everyone. But that is pure speculation at this point.
