Ah, that would be my sky keep, I havent stolen anyones land have i? I checked the nearby area but couldnt see signs of habitation.

I have all the parts for a nuclear reactor. Currently setting up the reactor's room (reinforced stone just to be thematic; it's thoroughly unnecessary as the reactor will automatically shut down instead of exploding), and making a fourth MFSU to hold excess power not used by the force field.

I still have my machines running off a generator and a few solar panels lol.

I have most of my machines running off of geothermals linked by pipe to energy condensers producing lava cells.

Well, I have power at my Sky-Garden, not that there is a garden yet, it wouldn't even be proper calling it a structure!

CF is awesome, though, although I have had some almost-deaths because of it...

I'm going to get around to this at some point. Right now I still have to ferry cells to my geothermal by hand because I haven't bothered creating another condensor.

Kinda curious how there's so many floating islands everywhere.

Also, the Black Rock is pretty awesome.

Looks pretty spiffy, and howdy neighbor, you will find myself and Sniper Dans keep not to far from you.

Also anyone have any issues with livestock disappearing? I had a chicken in a coop and the little bugger escaped or got killed by something, theres no damage to the area but he was goin to be the start of my feather farm so i could make crossbow bolts.

Has anyone claimed here?
If not, I'm claiming it!

Well until you get a condenser, you can create a lot of lava cells and pump them from a chest to the bottom (and it HAS to be the bottom) of your geothermal.

Just replace that chest with a condenser when you get it and save at least one lava cell to put in it.

Schellan lives near there, ask him how much he claimed.

I claim this by the way:

I just want it to pump the magma out to say that I did. Eventually hoever I will make a base at where the bottom of the volcano's magma reservoir is.

Just wondering who blew up my rubber tree farm and didn't replace it?

PM me if you did it please. It was easy to fix, but I don't want it to happen again.

I have claimed this area:

Those hills are SchellCo property (the island to the North excluded, though i do like the idea of an island retreat from my corporate life...).

Soon they will be marked by massive stone brick walls.

Dark, I was reading up on the Railcraft TBM

this might interest you

http://thetekkit.wikia.com/wiki/Tunnel_Bore#Unmineable_Blocks

Basically the TBM can't mine Ruby Ore, Emerald Ore, Sapphire Ore, Silver Ore, Tin Ore, Copper Ore, Tungsten Ore, Nikolite Ore, Uranium Ore, Marble, Basalt, Marble Brick, Basalt Cobblestone, and Basalt Brick. But if it does come into contact with the gem ores it could potentially crash/corrupt the server.

To fix this you can edit the railcraft.cfg file and change a line to add them in.

Feth me, the link I gave was wrong. The volcano I wanted to link to is left of the biome iustis and I claimed earlier.

http://www.darkinnit.com/tekkitmap/?worldname=tekkit&mapname=surface&zoom=6&x=-1465.937538342358&y=64&z=1406.330206837398

Also Dark, my island may need fixing. In an attempt to make the pipes more efficient, I think I put them in such a way that instantly crashes my client as soon as I connect. It'd be the exposed side near the path, specifically the distribution pipes nearest to the path coming off of the macerator.

Edit: Never mind, I had to screw around a lot with the memory allocated to MC but got to log on long enough to just fix it myself. They were looping for some reason and taking a very large amount of RAM.

Thanks! You're quite the bug-hunter! I've added that in. It'll come into effect after the next server reboot.

Heh, be careful with stuff like that, as I'm not sure how compatible MCEdit is with Tekkit stuff and I might just have to do a rollback to a previous backup if you make some kind of RAM eating infinite loop device.

Hmn, the ease in which one can get resources is kind of putting me off Tekkit. It feels a bit like creative lite when it comes to getting building materials (stick some coal in a converter and you can get stacks of stone bricks, etc in seconds), whilst a basic energy network can get you most of the items from vanilla with little effort. The higher tyre stuff seems seems only to be worth getting should you want to act like god mode's been turned on (Nano Armour prevents you from taking damage in exchange from power, yet a simple reactor set up'll give you that with no effort and a short tutorial). =/

Nano armor is sort of low-mid tier items. It really doesn't require much-- four diamonds, 32 redstone and a lot of coal.

The biggest challenge is managing to get the upper end items, like gem armor and quantum armor, which use things which cannot be replicated or are ludicriously expensive to replicate as ingredients. Also, there is a lot of fun to be had in buildcraft, redpower, and blutricity, and using them to create interesting contraptions. Sure, you made yourself a bunch of diamonds. So... what? Diamonds are chump change for upper tier EE2 and IC2 anyway.

I'd like to claim this area please if no one has done so yet (and if iLordNoob and Coolyo are ok with it, it is close to their properties)

Hey, I am a friend of forbes, Alex, and he asked me to come and ask to be whitelisted for this, I have heard cool things about it. In-game name is the same as my username on here.

My first attempt at a nuclear reactor failed (See the shattered remains of my sky fort).

I have four reactor chambers that I salvaged from the explosion. If anyone wants to try nuclear power again, I can give the reactor chambers to them-- you'll only need to make eight more (two for the core, and two more to attach) to make a maximum sized reactor.

I recommend following this tutorial:
http://thetekkit.wikia.com/wiki/Nuclear_Reactor/Easy_Tutorial

I messed up when I followed it, didn't do the safety features right-- if the safety is done right, it will shut down rather than explode when it reaches a certain temperature, and thus when this method is done properly, it will never actually explode And when done properly, it should never get hot enough to shut down anyway. If someone else wants a crack at it, as I said, I have the four reactor chambers left I can give you.

As it is, I'm gonna try a setup of seven banks of 5x infinite geothermal setups (five geothermal generators, supplied with lava cells by a condensor with two mk1 collectors, with pipes evenly distributing the lava cells to each generator), all feeding in to an MFSU. This will result in 600 EU/t, which is just slightly over an HV solar array-- but much less expensive and intensive to make. I'm hoping taht this will be enough to provide a respectable speed for my mass fabricator.

I saw a tutorial in the Tekkit forums where a guy made an ice machine that fed ice blocks into his reactor, pretty much made it impossible to overheat. I'll try to find it

Found a slightly better copy of it on the wiki

I'd be interested in taking those reactor gubbinz off of your hands.

In-game name, and preferably a location for delivery?

Also, standard transfer agreement, I take no responsibility for any damage you may or may not cause by the use of these reactor chambers, or their misuse, etc.

Well, I've visited your base before when we EMC swapped.

So I can meet you there.at some point when we're both on.

I didn't look at the link. Mybad

It'll be tomorrow sometime. I won't be bale to get on for any respectable amount of time tonight.

EE Rings arr so much fun, as anyone else who was on when I was on (my IGN is ETomb) will tell you.
Too think that the guy who had next to nothing now has a Ring of Arcana thanks to 1 infinite emc generator.

Oh, and Dark, your house has been through a lot today, first a creeper exploded inside of it (I fixed the damage) and the several accidents concerning my Ring of Arcana set it to the torch... (Stray fireballs, wall of flame, activation...)

Your house has been fixed, but if anything is missing, just tell me and I'll replace it. I've decided that Red is the most dangerous mode and should only be used sparingly, if at all...
