That Moat Calin, it's so beautiful

**Vendetta 476**

Using something like MCEDIT the whole project wouldn't take as long as you imagine.

**BlapBlapBlap**

Well, I might have made a new land feature, so to speak...

**Lord-Loss**

Ok looking side tower for a wizard tower?

**BlapBlapBlap**

Who likes Lava geysers?

**TheRobotLol**

I do!

**Doctadeth**

Just found some HUGE veins of coal, I wish we had industrialcraft here coz then I'd be swimming in diamonds.

I have 3 double chests of coal, 1 of iron, and another 2 of redstone.

**RaptorsTalon**

Nice.

And yeah, I have been playing technic single player and industrial craft is great.

**Inquisitor Lord Bane**

I always end up with a huge patch of taint within 200 blocks of spawn, it makes me sad.

**SagesStone**

I tend to get distracted and try to make huge nuclear reactors...

**Bloodhorror**

i tend to dig straight down, fill the column with nukes. Set one off and then place lava flow blocks around the top of it.

I like to call it the abyss and live in it ^^!

**Corpsesarefun**

I'm guessing you guys don't play the technic pack in survival mode?

**Doctadeth**

Technic in survival for me. Fricking hard!

I do actually. But I screwed around with it with too many items to look at everything. Mostly I got it for the laser.

**Corpsesarefun**

Is it just me or does the induction furnace (max level tekkit furnace) just suck?

**Anvildude**

It apparently starts out terrible, but once it gets up to 100% heat, it's the fastest furnace in the game. You just have to have it going absolutely constantly.

He does. Good thing you "build" far away from our places!

**Bloodhorror**

Yeah!

Surronding safety is my number 2 concern!

Number one is "boom = good!"

**4oursword**

While Boom= good, Boom+my house is not so good.

Be like not_u and build your home out of appropriate materials.

Redstone circuit, with some solar flowers or a geothermal generator. you wont be able to keep up with it.

**Corpsesarefun**

I have a geothermal generator hooked up a lava lake in the nether, but no matter what I do I can't get enough damn materials to keep it at temperature for very long.

IndustrialCraft Wiki wrote:
During its operation, the Furnace will build up heat, up to 100%. When idle, the heat will slowly dissipate back to 0%. It is possible to keep the heat from dissipating by providing a Redstone signal to the Furnace. In that case, the Furnace will consume a constant of 1 EU/t when idle to maintain the heat.

If you guys are having difficulty with tekkit I reccomend checking out Duncan's Tekkit videos from the Yogscast.

**Anvildude**

Are you folks playing on a single server? And how can I join?

I've just got back into the Technic pack- I think I'm going to focus on Railcraft and Thaumcraft, with some EE, IC, and Redpower supplementing things, and Buildcraft to bind it all together.

**Avatar 720**

I got the technic pack earlier and tried it out in Creative to see what there was.

My eyes immediately glazed over until I found the nuclear stuff, then I went and stuffed a few reactors full of Uranium and watched them explode, and crashed my client by setting off a column of about 60 or so nukes inside a volcano.

I still don't understand a thing about it.

**Anvildude**

Basically, if you're starting out in it, just go with the basics first. Find iron, find redstone, find Copper and Tin. One thing you'll want to know and do are find Rubber trees, learn the recipe for a Treetap (simple, just 5 planks in [blank plank blank/plank plank plank/plank blank blank]) and use the treetap to harvest Resin from the rubber trees. Cook the resin to make rubber, line metal ingots in 3 to make wire, use rubber to coat wire. You get cables. Next, make a battery, make a Generator (makes electricity from burnables) make a Batbox, make a Macerator and an extractor. Blamo- the basic IndustrialCraft setup. doubles your metal ore output, trebles your rubber.

There's a pretty beast wiki up now.

**Avatar 720**

I tried the wiki earlier and it made it 10x worse.

I think I'll just stick to punching trees and blowing crap up.

Start from here and by the end of part 5 or 6 you should have a basic grasp of the mod making it easier to get started.

You greatly underestimate my laziness.
