DeathByPenguin Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 A SoulZoneNetwork Server SoulsCraft Dev Website ProjectPage If you ever started up tekkit and thought to yourself: "I want to start a Corporation", you will love the concept of this server. You see, in Urbantek, the world is very different then anything you're used to. All the world Gen is divided into 'Zones' rather then Biomes. When you exit Angel Terrace (Server Spawn) you will notice that there is a Giant City. This City is Infinite. There are tons and tons of different buildings to explore, Claim, and destroy. All resources are much more Rare in the world. So you'll have to Scavenge buildings, explore sewers and underground bases for treasure and resources. But beware, there are no Protected areas, so you'll have to make use of all the Tekkit items to secure your bases. *First two Weeks will be Whitelisting Week - Sort of like a test run of the server to make sure it'll be public worthy.* If you ever find yourself in need, Contact any of these users on the server. These users will be happy to assist you in any issues or questions that you may have. Malice - Project lead on SoulZoneNetwork Projects; Lives in a Basement, Good with Whips It_is_Coming - Lead Map Design; Will kick your ass in Starcraft 2, Gets stuff done Kyctarniq - Texture Pack Artist; Also assists with schooling everyone on the Team, specialty Religion BackPackBack - Voxel Box Member, Builds stuff for us; Will flip out if everything isn't perfect, Disowned SZN 3 times A4E - Dependable Builder; Also known as Gruffman, Battles deadly Spiders everyday DeathByPenguin - Webmaster and Graphics; Knows poop, has super procrastination abilities Dmillerw - Mod Developer/Plugin Dev; Has ability to tick off Eloraam's Lackeys, Was too good for ChemCraft Psherman1 - Lead Build Designer; Doesn't like Sandwiches that look like err.. things. Hiding. Here's what it comes down to, what we have to offer that is different from other servers. Well, I can tell you with confidence, nothing in here is unique. However, with the combination of these things, the experience of our server will be unique. Exploratory Cities - Infinite Generating, filled with Treasures, resources, and Traps. Enjoyed exploring Villages and strongholds in regular Minecraft? Now explore cities. Sounds fun? Maybe not. Hunger Game Esc - Natural Resources are nurfed. Often times it's not worth Mining in UrbanTek, unless you're trying to track down Red stone or Gems. There are lots of explorable places with treasures hidden. Player encounters will be very dangerous since there is no guarantee of protection. Scavenge Buildings - Alot of the buildings you will encounter have REDPOWER Microblocks and jacketed wiring. You'll have to rip those down and form them together to get the original resource back. Making your UrbanTek experience a little more realistic? Although, I don't see how you can make cables jacketed with Diamonds. Balanced Equivalent Exchange 2 - That's right, we've enabled EE2. However, we have done tons of tweaking to it, and managed to balance it all out. Things like Bone/Blaze maceration will not work. Nor will making Dark rooms, or even Cow EMC machines (You sick bastards). There are only a few items disabled, which is listed in the Item Black List. Player Defined Economy - No Server Shops, only Market Places. The Grand Exchange is where you'll be able to exchange any items for any items. At any time. It looks like a flea market. Anarchy - "When I figured out what Anarchy servers meant, I was totally surprised that I've done it in all of my Servers. Lol". Yes, this is an Anarchy server, which means.. Griefing is allowed. Everyone gets 10 LWC Protections, to protect their most Essential items. Stealing, Player Killing, Griefing, Raiding, Looting, All of these things.. Are allowed. Arcade - We know how to make Computer Craft Arcades using a combination of Lua, Redpower, and more Lua. This feature has not been implemented yet, but will be soon. So far we have the Drop Party room. A list of our important plugins, the list will change over time as we make our own. ShowCaseStandalone Factions LWC Essentials - Every server is required to have a set of Rules, UrbanTek is no different. Raiding/Griefing/Looting/Killing are all allowed It's important to know, that all of these things are part of the UrbanTek experience. Treat other players with Respect This includes Flaming, insulting. Be mature and handle your disputes without calling names. Report Bugs, Exploits, and Glitches This is very important, it'll help us fix any problems glitches will cause. However, if we find you exploiting any bugs, you may be banned. Spam and Advertising Obviously Excessive spamming is going to get you muted or banned. But Advertising is a very touchy subject. We don't want you advertising your servers on our server. But if you want to share a link to some friends to your youtube channel, you'll be able to. These are the lowest of low items. They deserve the lowest circle in hell. All items in this list are Banned from the server. Red Matter Tools - These Items are aggressively Over powered and wreck havoc on factions and our precious world Gen. Red Matter Armor - Invincibility is over powered, and in a Server where survival is essential.. Immunity to all damage is way too broken. ChunkLoaders - These items aren't actually banned entirely from the server. Only removed from being made, there will be special ways to get yourself one of these. Tank Carts - A bug which turns this item into a Duping machine. Wireless Jammers - They're really buggy. You don't want this thing. Red Matter Furnace - Duping Machine? You're gone. Now for a nice selection of pictures. Don't mind the obvious captions though. Simply Add us to your serverlist and join! Server IP: Urbantek.snode.us A list of our Goals if you will, a Todo list.

DeathByPenguin Posted April 2, 2013 Author Posted April 2, 2013 Wow. Hello there Torezu! Thank you for taking the time to approve our thread. I've heard that you enjoyed our predecessor TekAdventures! If you enjoyed that server, you may enjoy this one for sure.
Torezu Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 I've heard that you enjoyed our predecessor TekAdventures! If you enjoyed that server, you may enjoy this one for sure. It looks like I might. I got lured away by Tekkit Lite and some custom packs, though, so we'll have to see. There's only so much time in one day, and most of it is not spent on Minecraft. :D
DeathByPenguin Posted April 3, 2013 Author Posted April 3, 2013 It looks like I might. I got lured away by Tekkit Lite and some custom packs, though, so we'll have to see. There's only so much time in one day, and most of it is not spent on Minecraft. I know exactly what you're talking about. Often times, I ask myself; Am I being productive? Feels like the days are getting shorter, and I get less time to do things I want.
locserver Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Server looks really nice, I may think about investing in this one for sure
locserver Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 · Hidden Hidden Edit: Sorry for double post, computer lagged.
DeathByPenguin Posted April 3, 2013 Author Posted April 3, 2013 Server looks really nice, I may think about investing in this one for sure Well the whole story behind this server, is to sort of be a breeding ground to make a fan base. This server is made to support our project SoulsCraft. We hope urbantek is a hit though. Thanks for posting.
locserver Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 I enjoy this server quite a bit, I wish their was a website however specifically for the server
DeathByPenguin Posted April 4, 2013 Author Posted April 4, 2013 I get on and just lag out? We're pretty new, and are in the process of upgrading. The spawnpoint is a little unoptimized, I think we'll be using a different spawn point.
locserver Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 I suggest switching to another host, preferably McProHosting (I can give you a discount) Thinking about donated, but with the server's unsuitability I just don't know anymore
DeathByPenguin Posted April 4, 2013 Author Posted April 4, 2013 I suggest switching to another host, preferably McProHosting (I can give you a discount) Thinking about donated, but with the server's unsuitability I just don't know anymore The plugin that we use to do our Custom terrain gen is pretty resource intensive. It's not the quality of the hoster, it's the hardware we're using. I don't think switching over to a new host is going to fix anything. The lag issue is very much a problem, at some times. It's never a consistent problem, only specific times. We will be upgrading. It's only a matter of time.
DeathByPenguin Posted April 4, 2013 Author Posted April 4, 2013 A bit of an update, we will be upgrading the server today. I'm pretty excited. We'll be able to support alot more players with a lot less lag. Woot woot!
DeathByPenguin Posted April 5, 2013 Author Posted April 5, 2013 Equivalent Exchange has been temporarily disabled. We're having an issue where dark matter blocks are randomly spawning. Also The server has been upgraded. It's alot more smooth with little to no lag, so we're pretty excited about that.
DeathByPenguin Posted April 6, 2013 Author Posted April 6, 2013 We've found the bug, and have fixed the issue in which EE items where spawning randomly. EE has been re-enabled.
DeathByPenguin Posted April 6, 2013 Author Posted April 6, 2013 Fixed an issue where Donators weren't getting the correct amount of LWC Protections. Phew.
Doctor Ivo Robotnik Posted April 6, 2013 Posted April 6, 2013 This server would be great, but it's horribly laggy. Also, I jokingly said I had an exray texturepack, and dogblitzzz (Who combat logged 7 times, is very unfriendly and racist), said he would report me.Do not take this report seriously, if you would be so kind.
DeathByPenguin Posted April 6, 2013 Author Posted April 6, 2013 This server would be great, but it's horribly laggy. Also, I jokingly said I had an exray texturepack, and dogblitzzz (Who combat logged 7 times, is very unfriendly and racist), said he would report me.Do not take this report seriously, if you would be so kind. Even if someone where to get an x-ray texture pack, it would be useless. There's very little ore gen. Also, we've just upgraded our server, so I doubt it's server lag that you're experiencing. It may be client side and you may have a low connection with our server. As for this arguing on the server. Please don't bring that trouble on these forums, the moderators have enough trouble, and you already know the rules. I've warned all involved parties, an if it continues, everyone gets a 3 night mute.
Doctor Ivo Robotnik Posted April 6, 2013 Posted April 6, 2013 But the lag isn't clientside, I have the best internet you can have, better than providers can give you, and five others complained as well ingame. And is there any particular reason the server is down?

And is there any particular reason the server is down? We're looking into the issue. Also, a survey has been done, and most players of our players are impressed with our newest upgrade and report no server lag. We'll be looking into that issue further. We apologize for any inconvenience.
kyctarniq Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 Hopefully lag will be better. I donated and now we have more memory. Let see now.
DeathByPenguin Posted April 8, 2013 Author Posted April 8, 2013 Hopefully lag will be better. I donated and now we have more memory. Let see now. Yes, with that healthy contribution, we were able to upgrade to a much more stable VPS. I'm very excited about it, and can't wait to put this server to the test!
DeathByPenguin Posted April 9, 2013 Author Posted April 9, 2013 Server has been patched. IC2 causing "End of Stream" errors for a small percentage of the players.
