I don't know if I'm gonna like Tekkit. It's just... too... demanding. Too many rare resources that become too hard to hold on to as they're required for everything. Too much junk material hard and expensive to deal with... In the end you become super-powerful so everything's pointless, and getting there is too much hard work. Even getting a flipping macerator and making it work is a pain in the neck.
I'll give it another try but I'm doubtful.

In other news, remember that the adventure takes place tomorrow; please remember that Splat's Productions accepts no responsibility for loss of property, xp or life than may occur during the course of the adventure.

:
I figured out the problem I had last night with getting infinite, efficient power, and made a simple and easy to follow tutorial. Also I lost my mic under a pile of stuff somewhere while organising my living space, but that's probably a good thing.



Perhaps this negates the point of having power in the first place, though. :S Hmm. I've got a feeling water strainers will be removed eventually.
You might think water strainers provide decent power now, but as you get more advanced machines you'll see that it's really not that much. Certainly not enough to warrant removing them and there are other ways to get much more infinite energy.

When you build enough of them it does certainly provide a lot of quick power though.

Well, it's still the most reliable starting solution I can find anyway. A lot better than the alternatives if you have the resources.

Server Announcement!


The new vanilla server is up and running. It's a bit less powerful than the original because I expect it will not be used as often anymore, but it should be able to handle big events since everyone is often in the same place anyway.

The new server introduced me to a new control panel which I had to get used to and I also had to redo the whitelist. I think I did it right, but let me know if you can't get on the server for some reason.

Everything should be functioning besides the Multiverse plugin.

New vanilla server IP: 37.59.141.73:25704

Remember that Splat's event is taking place tonight at 9PM BST, check http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ to see what time that is in your timezone.

See you tonight!

Thanks for the reminder, I thought it was on Thursday and not tonight for some reason. :S

:
I don't know if I'm gonna like Tekkit. It's just... too... demanding. Too many rare resources that become too hard to hold on to as they're required for everything. Too much junk material hard and expensive to deal with... In the end you become super-powerful so everything's pointless, and getting there is too much hard work. Even getting a flipping macerator and making it work is a pain in the neck.
I'll give it another try but I'm doubtful.
You get super-powerful in classic MC too and after a while, unless you're building massive, massive projects like I've (not) been doing (at least not for the past 3 days anyway), it gets boring after a time. It's one of the reasons the classic server has been so quiet...

Sure, the same will happen to Tekkit eventually, but the increased number of possibilities will probably mean it'll last a lot longer. There's a hell of a lot more things to do once you get your head around its complexity. Things aren't as balanced as normal MC but the people who threw Tekkit together have tried hard to keep it as balanced as possible so that you have to spend time earning everything before you become powerful (hence why they keep removing and adding mods).

Tekkit is fun once you understand it though. I had you in mind when I made that tutorial vid. You may also want to read the following guides:
Guide 1
Guide 2

And there are these wikis which can give you extra info:
Wiki 1
Wiki 2

---

In other news, that power station I made is resource heavy but works if you wire it correctly - Using a Batbox as a relay off of each 3x3 strainer section improves efficiency further. However the strainers glitch occasionally and stop working for no reason, meaning they have to be removed and put back, and also the 3x3x1 box of water empties very rarely. It's pretty low maintenance apart from that, though.

Question: does Tekkit provide the means to build absurdly destructive doomsday machines?

...I ask purely for scientific advancement, of course.

Why are you giving him ideas

Also yeah Stargates don't seem to have survived the server move for some reason, so they need to be re-activated.

Due to the stargate trouble, the adventure will begin in Ma'Spa at the inn built by Darkhoodness (near the Enderman). Please meet there at 9:00 for a 9:15 start to the adventure. Nearest Ma'Spa rail station to the start point is The End station on the South Line.

What.

Server Announcement!


Logblock is back on the Vanilla server. Basic use involves the /lb lookup and /lb rollback commands (mods only). For a list of usable parameters see this page.
Everything is logged, including door, switch and chest access.

Secondly, the point of Trial-members is that they can not do any major damage using TNT or lava. Due to a wrong setting they were able to place TNT (and light it) anyway. This has now been fixed.

Thirdly, I took the suggestions for the donation system and changed it a bit.

The Iron Tool package now costs €1,00 (less than a pound for you UK folk).
The Diamond Tool package now costs €2,50.
The VIP package now costs €2,00.

In addition you now also get a fancy [Donator] nametag when buying a package. It will stay infront of your name for 30 days after buying a package. After 30 days you will lose the [Donator] tag but you will keep the golden colored name to show off you once donated to the server! Check it out!



Remember, you can donate using the /buy command ingame and you will receive your items and abilities within 5 minutes of payment.

A similar setup will soon be available on the Tekkit server, though I am still thinking of other stuff you can buy instead. If you have any ideas, feel free to let me know. I was thinking along the lines of buckets of fuel, oil, lava. But I'm open to suggestions.

I'm not inviting anyone, it's a private server. If you don't want any more infractions I suggest you keep out of threads you don't belong in.

I just see the first human, who is gaining money on Oddworldforums. Time to add advertisement, pop-ups, vip-statuses, and forum-donates.
