I agree, buildcraft is probably my favorite mod.

I don't use condensers, if you would have read my original reply you would have seen that. That's kind of what this whole rage post is about. I do have a factory set up though to make solar panels, but I load the materials as needed. If I was going to use condensers, I might as well just play in creative.

This is the guide I use for UU matter, maybe there's another one I haven't seen. http://thetekkit.wikia.com/wiki/UU-Matter

I don't seem to be able to find a post where someone complained about it being difficult. Tedious, yes. Difficult? No.

I was unaware that UU matter made things like copper cables, electronic circuits, re-batteries (charged), and other things needed to make solar panels.

Mo creatures currently only works in single player Technic. As far as I'm aware, you can't add it to Tekkit SMP or Tekkit SSP. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

I like the Soartex pack better, and you don't have to merge anything. I like Sphax alright, but it's a little too cartoon like. (Just personal preference). Here's a list of texture packs compatible with Tekkit: http://thetekkit.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Tekkit-Compatible_Texture_packs

I'm not sure how you work that out, as solar panels won't run a mass fabricator. You need at least 1 HV solar array to run it. Have you ever worked out the cost of an HV Solar array? My husband and I made 2 and it took us days of just crafting after we already had the materials. It's thousands upon thousands of parts for them. And unless you have a constant source of scrap pumping into a recycler, a mass fabricator isn't going to make UU matter very fast.

One of the things I love about the minecraft community is that so many people are willing to take time from their personal life to make FREE modifications to the game. I know the kind of knowledge it takes to build these modifications/plugins, and I am amazed at the generosity of those who make them. If any of you happen to read this, thank you for making this game awesome!

A 192 IP is a network IP address. Go to http://www.whatismyip.com/ and use that IP address. This is your public IP address, and what you will need to give your friends in order for them to connect. Depending on your ISP, this can change from time to time. You don't have to use Hamachi. Hamachi is just a 3rd party vpn, which doesn't give you any advantage for RAM. Port forwarding can vary depending on your router, the best way to get a walk-through on port forwarding is to go directly to the manufacturers website. This is the video I used to set up my Tekkit server Hope this helps!

Awesome sauce! Thanks. :)

Personally, I like EE, although I do not use condensers or collectors. I use it so I don't have to have a billion chests full of stuff, and it's nice to be able to turn my diamonds into iron or other blocks I may need for a build. I also like that I don't have to destroy a desert biome to get glass. The only thing I currently use red matter for is the RM furnace, although I would be fine using a dark matter furnace. Because we don't use condensers or collectors, it does take quite a bit of time mining to be able to afford expensive machinery and tools. I think the red matter tools are too efficient, they dig way too fast. I have a red matter pick that I literally only use if I need to move my rm furnace. Trying to build with it is nearly impossible, especially if I'm building something with marble and need to make a window (one click and 95 blocks come down). I honestly don't feel like EE is OP without using condensers and collectors as I still have to collect materials and mine to earn EMC for other blocks. As for Quarries, I never have and never will use them. Huge holes in the ground are definitely an eye sore.

Why don't you just use a world anchor?

Honestly, I'm not really worried about updates as there is so much already in Tekkit. What I am concerned about is whether or not this means my current SMP server will stop working. I am currently using Bukkit plugins. If I do not update anything, will my current set-up continue to work?
