I'd like to extend my claim to the island area to the hills just south-west of it, too.

I claim this biome in the name of ME!

Also Iustis/Not_U.

I mean it's fairly obvious given the massive structure I'm building there, but I just felt the need to make it more official.

Hey Darkinnit, Melissia and I were just chatting and thought it'd be good to ask:

May we set up some sort of power station at spawn for anybody who wants to charge their gear?

That way people would be encouraged to work on the more advanced stuff and not have to budget resources as much.


I can fund this if that'd be preferable.

just be forewarned, you may get semi-wrecked...

Well luckily i moved already as i saw how close i was to spawn, lots of dying proceeded and i have relocated to a snow biome so i am out of your way now. If i had not moved already id pop on right away and pray my shody internet connection would hold out long enough to run for the hills with my hut.

Edit: And before i forget i lay claim to decent portion of the snow biome at X -489 Y +962, you can barely see my hut there as there is a mountain in the way so i thought id lay claim before i have to worry about more nuclear warnings/ already claimed areas.

Got almost all of the wall finished. Woo. Gonna work on gathering materials for a force field now, and start on the undersea base. Then a teleporter, and a sky base ifor the other side of the teleporter

I forgot how far ahead you and n0t_u are ahead of the rest of us.
You put me (4th on the server) to shame

Well, I hope I get my iron plant soon...

Probably didn't help when I showed back up at spawn to put chickens into their new house.

Sure, of course. The spawn could be great if there are more community things around it. Sounds like most people are more knowledgeable at Tekkit than me to get this sort of stuff set up, so I could focus on basics like roads, buildings and lighting and you guys could handle the technology.

Also what with Minecraft 1.4 coming out tomorrow, I will probably be busy testing for the original Dakka Minecraft server's upgrade, so won't be on Tekkit as much for a few days.

Also I left something for spawn in the small sign filled chest in your house Dark.

Also set up a transmutation tablet in my spawn house again, anyone can use it really and there's a pumpkin farm on the roof for fast EMC.

Amongst other things, I'll probably also upgrade the community garden next time I'm on.
Once I get cross breeding, I'll hopefully be able to add Ferru, Aurelia, Redwheat, Terrawart, Netherwart, Coffee, Hops, Cocoa and all the Flowers (except Indigo, those aren't accepted)

Did a little exploring and found this if anyone is interested.

if i wasnt so far away from everyone i would let people use my alchemical chest with a talisman of repair in it so they dont ever have to worry about tools breaking.

oh and as for quarries, i know the fact they make giant ugly holes can be a bit of a problem so you could either build them over water so you dont notice them as much or build them underground where you won't see them at all.

Hey!

How come dark gets his house on the map?

How do we do that?

I need to adjust the map permissions and write a short set of instructions on how to do it (it doesn't involve signs this time). I'll get round to it eventually, please be patient

In the meantime, if anyone wants to try out a 1.4.1 pre-release server (witches, beacons, bats, zombie villagers etc), check my post in the Minecraft thread.

Ok Darkinnit, I'll start building a power tower later today.

Also, should people claim teleport pipe frequencies? If so, I claim 100-130 if possible.

Ahh, so it's like a test marker

also does this map support signs? or just the fancy markers?

Edit: what's a Teleport pipe? can I claim 0-30 then, mingt need it eventually?

It'd make it a little organized at least. May be better to reserve for spawn and then just count in order of creation. I'm not sure how the system works, but just gathering a bit from what you said there.

I thought the frequency for pipes only mattered for your own.

I dont think your teleport pipes will send to someone elses pipes.

Too bad, would have been way better than some nether based transport system.

Ugh, I hate how random minecraft is when it comes to performance. Sometimes it's incredibly laggy, other times it's perfectly fine.

And it doesn't have any rhyme or reason to it. Soemtimes I can run minecraft just fine while several programs are in the background, other times I can restart my computer and start minecraft fresh with a completely free CPU and memory, and no matter how long I let it wait it takes fething forever to do anything...

Sadly it's not just Tekkit these days.

We still have enderchests!
And, either way, telepipes aren't inter-dimensional.

Telepipe bugs:
When you are on a server, if you open the GUI while wearing a BatPack , Electric Jetpack , or LapPack that is not fully charged will crash the game.
Opening the GUI whilst flying using Swiftwolf's Rending Gale will crash the game.

Quantum Armor will also crash the client on SMP upon opening the GUI.

Entering the Nether in singleplayer may cause your teleport pipes to disappear.

Occaisionally, after a while of use, a teleport pipe will cease to send items to linked pipes, instead it will store some in its buffer and then 'regurgitate' that back into the pipe it came from. The only fix is to destroy the pipe and replace it (and re-do the frequency settings)


also, is everyone ok If I build my flying garden here? It's just Forest biomes are better than plains hydration-wise.
Only swamp and jungle are better, and the closest of those are too far away...

If anybody needs a good charge, there's an excellent power plant at spawn for public use. All I ask is that you don't steal any stuff from the plant (you may charge your stuff on the 2 MK2 Charging Benches) and that you don't go underneath (I'd appreciate nobody messing up the piping down there).

Anyone lay claim to the land around -20, -569?

For those of you wondering why blocks sometimes get destroyed or turned in to lesser blocks when you use the wrench, you need to upgrade to an electric wrench and turn on lossless mode-- hold M and right click to toggle.

Lossless mode uses more power, but doesn't risk losing any objects.

I feel like the entire Chunk (or 8) around Spawn should become a single massive Power Generation Station, and that anyone who wants to use the power can then just pipe it off to wherever they need it.

If no one knows I have claimed the volcano at spawn...
I have also named it.
Carry on.

Looks like nobody is there. Dibs

That wouldn't work, because then you'd have a ton of pipes running all over and making a mess.

Now, even if that did happen, imagine the cost of those cables. Then imagine that somebody else taps into the same line as you, but they're before you. That person decides to run a few quarries and you won't be able to get enough juice to run a macerator.

The current power plant will never run out and will quickly recover if somebody really taxes it (several armor charges at once or in rapid succession).

Tips on using the map (such as making markers) at my site:

I'll make it prettier some day.

Also, I've seen 16 people on at a time. Do let me know if we hit the 20 limit without any noticeable lag, as I can probably increase it.

I'm sorry dark, I'll be unable to use those markers, there is no option for [not so] secret evil genius base.
