For ignoring the Mo' creatures mod, use Tekkit not Technic. Tekkit is designed for multiplayer but it's just better for SSP too, IMHO.

Or you can just turn the spawn rates of the Mo' Creatures mobs to 0 in the options menu. Though I do recommend playing Tekkit till you get your feet wet, because Better Dungeons and Thuamcraft can be rather difficult to work with...

I like better dungeons
And I do, it's just the options get reset every time for some reason.

I prefer tekkit by far, the stuff that the technic pack adds that tekkit doesn't really don't interest me.

And thanks for the redstone current trick for induction furnaces, that will really help.

I had it start up, check for updates, then stop, if that's what you mean. In that case, you have to double-click the .jar itself and it should start-up without requring the launcher.exe

Did that both ways, but it wasn't for the launcher itself but for the packs and the minecraft jar. I just brute forced it and it's all good now.

It didn't even care when I added it as an exception to the firewall and to antivirus as well so wasn't much else to do.

So far I'm liking the pack, trying to find a rubber tree. Left it off on a hill I'm using for a temporary base while I explore what looks to be a dangerous jungle. It has oil running through it and an erupting volcano.

From what I can tell swamps are the best place to find rubber trees.

Here's the thing with rubber trees

there are smal rubber trees that look pretty much exactly like regular trees with darker bark, they also don't chop down all at once

Then there are HUUUGE rubber trees in forests, which don't give rubber, its actually pretty weird, these half palm tree looking leaves

What I ended up doing is going alchemy, putting my first few diamonds into an alchemist chest + upgraded AC, and then using a single sticky resin I am able to make more without a farm.

Once I passed that I used pipes to move a cobbler, then an automatic grass/tree farm into production of raw blocks to feed the chest.

At this point I've built my block operations into the side of a mountain overlooking a hindu town, I'm using a timer attached to the wiring that can go on anything to power everything, giving my tower a pulsing glow, I also have a filter that vomits any blocks I cannot convert or have any use for down into the town far below, lol.
I use the chest to convert the blocks into whatever I want for current building operations, Honestly with the control you have, and ability to not build a hilariously huge hole like with the quarry, I see little reason to not go alchemy for resources.

Rubber trees have two leaf blocks sticking out of the top, that's the easiest way to find them.

I'm still at the hit random trees with a wooden tap stage of things.

Tekkit sounds awesome... but there is just FAR too much stuff for me to understand and use...

It took me WAY too long to make an auto Cobble Farm really... but i know have it stored in my memory ^^!

Only hit the orange lump, you don't get any rubber otherwise.

Still trying to get the controller :/

I wish we had a Tekkit Server, especially if I can get controllers.

dakka is against mods

strange story though, is I noticed dakka's old server IP address is now running another minecraft server
HMMMMM

Controller?

What is said old ip adress??

Isn't one of the upcoming planned features of Minecraft supposed to enable trans-server travel?
That would be an interesting enabler for one server being vanilla and another having this Tekkit Mod.

Airship, Ship, Elevator and Turntable Controllers. I was planning to make some turrets, then a fort, and rather than using the Cannons that come in the pack I wanted to make something a bit more destructive...

OK, I'm kinda desperate to get rid of these Mooshrooms as they're killing each other and glitching all over the place. Therefore, I'll have a discount on. 10 Iron for each Mooshroom up to 4, at which point it becomes 1 Diamond regardless of how many you take.

The Redpower trees do actually provide rubber if you put them in the extractor.

and you need rubber to make said extractor, chicken and egg

Grundz wrote:and you need rubber to make said extractor, chicken and egg

You need 6 rubber to make an Extractor, thats not too hard to find.

more than the zero rubber the person has

If you cant find a pair IC2 Rubber tree then you are SOL. I'm just saying you can use them for rubber. But there's other trees that give it too.

Enjoy my new Dakkacraft landscape feature.

Whoa.

Switched up from tekkit to technic. Found some ruins to act as a house then some ogre thing just broke through the whole thing forcing me to run until I found some pyramid to spend the night in...

Exactl, stpid ogres
ad I hope you don't have the glitch I have where it resets the spawn rate you set them out.
You have 2 choices, turn them off (if you don't have the glitch) or play on easy, as they don't spawn on that level difficulty (AFAIK)

It's added fun to it though. The pyramid had about 5-6 iron picks in it and half a stack of gold. Not to mention the traps had enough harm splash potions it glitched and I have an infinite stack.

Only new mob that's killed me is the flying purple diamond thing. Tried to catch it and chased it around a bit.

Also what are the obby shrine things for?
