Any suggestions on how to improve?

I really can't see anyone, save maybe Iustis and Mel, beating Oshunai, though you could always build a crapton of empty shells (no pun intended) of buildings to make it seem like you're bigger?

It's called 'overcompensating', and yes, it does work

Well we do have this bridge. I could begin to explain how it works, but I may just be wasting my time.


We've also had this clock in our entrance room for a little while.

That bridge, by the way, is going all the way to the stronghold train station:

It will be an epic project indeed. When it's done, I think I'll be glad to say that it'll be nice to have a straight, level path to spawn. And safe, too.

Maybe at a later time we could even extend it from the station along side the rail to spawn.

True. It'd only cost an additional 16-19 or so forcefield setups, and we're already building twelve more as it is.

Okay, so I got my miner set up, my draining pump set up AND two solar panels up for power. Working on more solar panels so I can work through the night. Also going to set up a second miner at some time at my forward base area.

Yep, non-refundable, you took the risk by going afk.

Similarly, no returns on any machinery/buildings that explode due to poor maintenance, or that explode or eject all their items on the floor because you left them running with a world/dimensional anchor while you were logged off.

tl;dr Chunk loading devices also count as being afk. Unless it's player griefing, no refunds.

I think I need to write a new FAQ

Cover wireless in it as well.

Hey Dark, how do you put signs in again.....

Go to http://www.darkinnit.com and click "Tekkit Map Tips"

or click this link
http://www.darkinnit.com/tekkit/dynmap.html

Scroll down a bit for the instructions for signs.

Finished the last of the rooms for the ground floor and then went on a victory lap to see how fast the quantum armour is. With a straight path, it'd beat flying there proabably.

Anyway some pics of the completed rooms. Starting with Robo Jeeves MkII in one of the halls.


The kitchen.

Complete with knife sharpener and cutting board.


The dining room.

Food is clearly just jabbed with one stick.


The bathroom.

It shares a wall with the portal so particles come through, so rather than cutting them it makes some really advanced drying thing.

Looks good, cant say I have done any decorating myself yet.

I think I will build a throne of some sort, maybe a gold one?

Quick n dirty Wireless Redstone Frequency Reservation solution:

There's a link on the homepage too.

Thank you darkinnit!

We're in the process of changing all of our wireless stuff to those frequencies. Our factories use most of it so, for the sake of compacting them.

can I claim some land please?
at coordinates
X:825, Y:72, Z:2804
thanks, its sacris foundry

How much of that area? A chunk (16x255x16, IE, 16x16 from sky to bedrock), several chunks, a biome?

ermm, I dont know, just that general area?

What if it happened because someone close to you set up an anchor and neglected to inform anyone within its radius? Not that I need to worry about losing anything important.

You should still have your machines set up so that they won't explode or eject items if left unattended anyway. There's not much difference between a nearby world anchor and another player who just happens to be nearby punching a pig.

Not much difference except the fact you can't punch the same pig around the same chunk forever?

sorry, is there anyway I can remove dynmap markers? I have removed the signs which are the default signs, but they are still there. It is now supposed to be Sacris Engineering, but there are two other signs still there.

P.S
anyone wants to join my company, PM me

Still, build your machines right. If you make mistakes in building your machines, well, that's your fault and your problem, not darkinnit's.

Also yes, Darkinnit, the dynmap seems somewhat buggy when it comes to removing markers. The sky temple marker is still there despite there being nno sky temple any more (the map also shows blocks, which aren't there, oddly enough)

That might be due to the map not updating constantly.

sorry =, could I also vouch for my brother, he's fine,his username is tabtab16

The map updates whenever it detects a change in the area. However, some of the Tekkit items don't use regular Bukkit methods for creating/destroying blocks, so the map might miss a section here and there. You can easily fix it by placing a block (like dirt) in the out-of-date area and then remove the dirt again. As long as you do that with standard Minecraft tools, the map should notice and update shortly afterward.

I can also run area updates if there's a large area out of date and it would be a pain to go chasing dirt blocks all over.

As for the signs, I'm not sure. They're supposed to remove the marker when the sign is removed. Again perhaps special Tekkit items might be interfering here, but I suspect some of you must have tried removing signs with a basic punch? I'll try to find out, but in the meantime you can ask me here or in a PM or in game to remove a specific marker and I can.

These type of requests should go in the whitelist thread, but it's ok, tabtab16 is whitelisted.

The floating blocks and sign on the map might have been ones destroyed by the nuke melting down then. I'll go up there and try that, though I don't relish the idea of doing it. Does it matter where on the chunk I place he item?

Doesn't have to be in the air, could be on the ground "behind" it

To be specific, that sign was at Y=204 or so. But I want to just put a dirt block and remove it in the ocean floor instead.


Also, that link I gave earlier? I claim that forest for our bridge. I don't care if anyone builds in there, but I am building the bridge regardless. That is a Thing that I will be Doing.


IF anyone builds anything that gets in the way of my bridge, it will be demolished. That is also a Thing which I will be Doing. Seeing as I've claimed the forest and all that. Fair warning to stay away from the path of my bridge.

oops, sorry about the wrong thread, forgot

Can I grab wireless channels 1200-1300 please?

Might start playing around with it today.
