  1. Well that explains a lot, now is it possible for me to change the spawn point for new players, I want to setup a small learning area for friends away from the main areas of nuclear testing and weirdness. This game is so much fun, made my first HV Solar array to power my mass fabricator, in hindsight building the HV first would have made things easier lol.
  2. Not very helpful, the thing is a lot of the wiki tells you to use a redstone signal to turn off things for example I have a mass fabricator and I need to turn it off but the wiki just states "use a redstone signal to turn off", does this mean hit it with a piece of redstone/redstone torch or some kind of wire, just base info would be nice.
  3. Good idea, I know this is a completely newbie question but what is a red stone signal, in many of the tekkit wiki items a "use a redstone signal to turn off" but what does this mean ?
  4. Thank you, I am setting up a daily backup to my home pc which files/directories do I need to include in that ?
  5. Hello, I thought it best to put my issues and problems in one thread so I can laugh at myself later I have setup a server with a host, at the moment it is limited to white list, maybe we will open to public one day but for now it will be a huge learning experience, the Admin side does not cause any concern having run a mud server for the last 14 years, it is different but the responsibility and hassle that come with being an op/gm/immortal is old news. So on to my questions and please understand I am very grateful for any advice offered. Op/Admin char, I learned early on in muds if I am to have any kind of player based fun in Tekkit I will need to keep my player character separate to my Admin otherwise things just bleed over and you end up spawning/shortcuts things and loose out on the fun of just being a player. Am I right in thinking I will have to buy a separate account to create an admin char If I do not want my player char having op rights? When the last person logs of a tekkit server does it instigate some kind of sleep mode and is there any way to keep the server live as in all my machines and fun stuff going while no one is on the server ? The following question is a weird one to do with my wifes character. she went to minecraft and uploaded a female texture all well and good then I installed the Glimmar steampunk pack, my avatar changed to the steam punk hd version but hers stayed at the LR version she uploaded, how do we set her system so her char is the default in the steampunk pack ? We tried just setting her back to the default version on the website but that just meant she now looks like that in game not the default HD versions from the pack.
  6. My questions are now not really to do with combustion engines so will create a new topic thank you for all the advice and help.
  7. Thank you for the input, I decided on a huge bank of water strainers linked to 5pumps+ redstone engines then into a mf > energy link and boom quarry working although the sea around my house has dropped a level lol . Another question now hehe how do I install a texture pack, I know how to select it but it is a HD pack and thus I tried to set it up via mcpatcher but my game will not load now, maybe something to do with going through the tekkit launcher, is there anythinng I should know.
  8. Thank you all this worked, managed to get 4 combustion engines working, cooled and all fun stuff like teleport pipes. My main issue is in two parts now I can not find a sustainable oil source for the combustion engines is there something I am missing in the placement of my pump because most are lasting less than a day and drying up. I want to power my quarry so my questions are. A)Am I doing something wrong in setting up my pumps (multiple oil sources) using transport pipes all seems to work fine till the oil dries up really quickly even from a spout of oil. B)Would it be simpler to setup a solar array and convert that energy to the kind that a quarry can use.
  9. I just created an energy link put the golden conductive pipe into one side and golden insulated cable out the other end and into the MFE and the mfe is not charging up :(
  10. Hello, I am pretty new to all this so I did not want to post in the bug forum as I assume it is user error. Everything was running fine having a blast until I tried to setup a combustion engine, so this is what I did and I need someone to tell me why it is not working please. Combustion engine put down and filled with water and oil via buckets , lever on wall next to it, a wooden conductive pipe affixed to the top (blue bit), use the lever and combustion engine does its animation but interestingly unlike all the videos I have seen no fine blue light. At this point I assume it is because I did not connect pipes to something I want to run. Using golden conductive pipe I try to link from the wooden conductive pipe to a MFE unit It does not seem to connect but maybe that is just a graphical issue I just take the golden pipe closest to one of the blank faces (the one with the brown circle is the output I believe), nothing happens. What am I doing wrong ?
