I also quickly fixed the portal to it. The path sucks and the end is mostly cut out for it, but it does have a functioning portal now. Just no signs down at all yet.

Oh and I do really like help with it. Mostly in sandstone and oak logs. Figure if people want to donate a whole bunch, they might be able to get their own floor in the tower we're building. Probably won't see it until the map updates, but it's to be a big sandstone tower in the center of town.

I say might because each room is planned to currently be seven blocks tall, which includes space for them to add their own flooring. Not sure how many we'll fit in as they only just started on the third floor, and the first two are taller. The ground floor being a small library and the next floor being the portal. I think the portal floor may be shorter, but I know the ground floor is definitely taller. The first residential floor isn't even finished and it's already taller than than all the other buildings there.

Sort of getting the skyscraper, town hall and library all out of the way at the same time. The top floor will be an office and I guess there will be an observation deck just above that.

How do you build a quarry in tekkit? (I have already set up the quarry 'box' and striped tape)

engines, at least steam

Also how do I get mods to run (clay soldiers)

Now if we were willing to donate but didn't want a room, would this be donating out the good of our hearts or donations for trades, I've got 6 stacks of sandstone up for grabs...

Whoever lived near where I am before I built there was a bit odd.

I think that was part of the journey from the mushroom biome with the mooshrooms.

Sure, the room was more or less an idea I was kicking around to entice people into donating.

Of course it'd be great to get for free, but if you want to trade we can probably work something out.

Unless they changed it recently, you can use redstone ones instead. The only drawback is that you'll probably die of old age before it finishes.

So just use tons of them?

Perhaps it's near the Isle of Naboombu?

Those lobsters kept stealing the pillow. Scum of the Earth.

Really? All Engines? Must have done something wrong then.
Hmm, I've just worked out you can have a maximum of 5 engines on a quarry, I used to think it was 4 but then I realised, Obsidian Pipe + Redstone signal is your friend.

He, my exile pyramid is still standing!
God, I really should mgo back to the spawn, but without a nether portal and being at somewhere like -10000 -10000 it's a bit impractical to walk/swim/run or even walk/swim/boat/run...

Nope, technically you can have an unlimited amount of engines running a quarry.

I broke down, tried to install Tekkit cause it sounded so interesting.

Tekkit simply does not run-- I get a "Technic Launcher Updator has stopped working" at the start-up, even when running it as administrator.

Goddamned game mods never work. Guess I'll troubleshoot this piece of crap...


Forum is singularly unhelpful. Bunch of arrogant douchebags talking down to anyone who has a problem. The people who answer bug reports and technical help questions on the forums are worthless donkey-caves and morons.

Try getting the .jar file for Linux. That should work.

I found that, after searching through about about a dozen threads where people had my problem, then got flamed by dumbasses for having the problem without actually providing any help on the subject. Maybe if they actually helped peoples' problems more often they'd get less threads asking about it because it'd be easier to find on a google search of their gakky, ugly-ass forums.

I really should stop trying mods out in the morning, technical help for mods is always fail...

Got the .jar yet?
No? Get it. Solved the error I was getting, which was the same as yours.

Yeh, more or less the same thing drove me from it as well. Already annoying enough it appeared buggy, that crap made it not really worth the effort.

I eventually got it to work by myself and screwed around with the laser for a bit before giving up on it.

Why does no-one listen to me?

So, where do I find the mod packs for Tekkit now that I have its stupid launcher up and running, finally? The mod list says that none of them are installed (technically, they're all missing hteir info file and have no child mods, etc etc etc).

We do, sometimes. I've also yet to perfect time travel so I could relay your words to my past self as I screwed around with it.

How about you listen to me? I said I got it, but apparently you skipped over that part of my post.

Ah.
Just select the modpack and it will download the mods. Use the recommended builds.
And use the tekkit pack if you don't want the gak to be scared out of you when mining.

It downloads jack diddly gak.

In fact, the launcher's "mod select" button is grayed out, so I can only look at the mod list under the multiplayer button.

Pardon?

Thaumcraft is also supposed to crash from time to time and is in a couple of those. But, it has the portable hole which is fun with all the other crap the rest put in...

The mod select button is greyed out in the launcher. I get "ask the author for the .info file" when clicking the mods button in minecraft itself.

Technic pack is great if you want to scare the gak out of yourself.

Sitting with nothing to do in college today, so yeah, oddity hunting. Is this player made or just an oddly generated hill? =)

Top left corner...
That's where you select the mod pack...
