We're working on a generator system now. We managed to get the RE battery system working at least-- a push of a button gives six RE batteries (necessary because it'd be more annoying to produce one insulated copper wire than it is to produce six).
Next we need to finish the rest of the system and hook it up so it drains a battery when you push the button for the generator. Shouldn't be too hard actually.
Although Iustis, I was trying to tidy up the appearance of it, but I think I somehow messed it up. I fixed it and it works, but it's odd about how it dispenses copper and resin (seems like they only dispense every other button press, but they dispense twice as much), so you may want to look at it. If there's no problem, then hey, no problem.

Spent most of today building house. Had a rough base for it last night. Its basic but I can expand when needed. I really need to find a way to get up easily without using the makeshift staircase as its ugly.
It even looks like one from the outside, and it SOUNDS like one when it's running!

Quite odd how it worked out. I had started messing around with creating circle for castle towers, I decided to use it as a sky dome instead. It was planned to be basalt cobblestone and left empty for a mob trap but after failing on how to actually go about it I decided to make it of glass and fill with lava.
I only really connected it to the volcano as I was going to use the lava in it for a geothermal generator. I decided against it since most of my power usage would come from within my mines so set up a lava cell energy condenser. Will hopefully make it automaticly feed the cells into a generator soon though.

I still think Osh is currently the favourite for Best Factory, for his one at spawn.

Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Osh's factory is inferior to Iustis' factories

I will eventually have my factory, doubt it will even match Osh's standards or even n0t_u's... But I can try...
And seeming this time no one has argued against the land I asked to claim, I'm assuming I can start building there next time I'm on?
Also, yay! Abyss Helmet!
took a few stacks of red matter (4, to be exact) but meh. Now I can make the rest easily, won't have the entire suit by the end of the week, though. I'll probably have all but the infernal armour (the chestplate)

Mine never got replaced anyway, mostly because I didn't feel it was worth the PM.
Anyway the generator factory is completed, it just needs cleaning up like the first factory. Like the first one each item's production is split up. It has the capability of producing a machine block, 6 RE batteries or a furnace depending on the button pressed; there's also one next to the furnace to upgrade it into a generator.
And some shots of the first factory after fixing it up.
Probably not, but a direct link to the point on the map would help clear up any misunderstandings.
Find it on the map, then hit the little button on the bottom left. It'll link you to that specific point. Then all you have to do is copy the url out of the address bar and put it here so people can see exactly where you're talking about.
I think I prefer Osh's factories...

Well I finished adding on the module for cell production and just finished the geothermal production too. After it starts back up, time to test that part out.
Automatically Appended Next Post: And successful, we can finally get up a nicely sized geothermal farm to power more intensive projects like a teleporter between the base and spawn. I don't mind people using them if they want, hell when the teleporter comes into it we may get a few visitors just to use the factories.
Unlike the first one where I wanted a more visual factory, this one had a lot more processes it had to do so it had to be a little compact or end up likely 3-4 times larger than the first plant.
This end makes the cells and geothermal generators. Cell production is likely one of the more useful features for some I suppose.
This mess is the RE battery, machine block and a little of the furnace construction. Yep it has a button just to make normal stone furnaces.
Also for fun I made a remote on the first factory's lockdown function. Might remove the controls for it from the factory itself and have it run completely via remote.

what is a good starting energy souce? its been so long since i ve started fresh in tekkit ... are wind mills or water mills good or should i go for generator/batbox?
Edit: finally found some diamonds, time to get some machines..

Yeah, but most of thr time that doesn't look as good, unless you're going for a wild west wooden bridge...
And I'd go with a generator and charcoal to start with, then solar/geothermal/nuclear/other. Wind take a lot of lick and skillful placement and even then is unreliable so it's not a good starting power.
It directly interferes with everything else you're trying to do, FORCING you to use it in order to prevent corruption. Whereas the other mods don't force you to use them at all.
Our fort is filling up quickly hehe. The thing under construction is the residential mansion part of the fort. We're playing around with lumar lamps at the moment, they're quite useful for floor/ceiling lighting.

Dark, can I get an inventory reset to the last point i was on?

Misriah Complex Is proud to anounce Phase 1 of the Misriah Complex-Osh Co. High speed Rail link is complete!
Would you like to know more?
Spoiler:
After a hic-up where out TBMs broke through into the ocean we have tunneled over it and are now moving into full automation mode. TBMs will run day and night* boring across the tundra until they meet up with Stronghold station in the desert.
Progress on the High speed rail link will follow the route roughly marked by the Purple line, where the dashed Green line is a proposed Extention towards the Mellisa/Iustis factory complex.
As long as it goes to the edge of the extreme_hills biome we claimed, and does not enter it (preferably, put it on the other side of the body of water that surrounds it so we can design a good looking bridge), I don't particularly care where ya build your rails.
