Apostle - when you have finished getting full gem, we need to have a server showdown. Magic vs Tech.

**SagesStone**

It's not as nice, but there is this island in the same general area which I think is unclaimed.

Seems to be a few of them around. Saves over crowding them. If you want it I'd say get a sign down on it as soon as possible to stop confusion like this happening again and if rubber is an issue I can drop off a few saplings.

im a magic guy, i use EE and am going to use the basalt to build a tower are you a technology guy? its fine i dont mind

Im neither to be honest, more of an agriculture guy. Setting up as a pub to be honest, I dabble in IC but for me it's largely an aesthetic thing.

**The Dark Apostle**

sure ill give it a go.

**SagesStone**

Sure, group projects are always nice. Plus more magic people to have around.

**The Dark Apostle**

cool! if anyone needs a magician message me AND

id like a third technology based person to join our island so we can have someone in all fields any takers (you can still keep your old base) just comealong regularly and you need to take shifts as a bartender in the pub

**Leigen_Zero**

Once the server is back up I'm going to be laying down my first few barrels of Rum

Couple of quick brews to get sozzled with, and a special brew that's going to ferment fully (24 hours IRL IIRC)

I've managed to get a hops plant and a bunch of terra wart going. If I can manage some more hops I might drop a seed over for it if you want.

**Lord-Loss**

Set up a solar panel production faculity at my base -28 +94 I think. It's the iron tower with redmatter lining, all welcome to use. You with have to wait a while as it takes some time but if you look in the chest and see a stack or two and i'm not around you're free to take it. If it's broken please dont tinker with it just let me know, or if you break something just let me know and i'll fix it.

**Melissia**

Our solar panel production works, and has worked since I posted last-- made an MV plant using only panels from that manufactorum. I do have to daily adjust some of the pipes though-- for some reason they reset to draw from the wrong machine. It's annoying ,but it's always the same two pipes, so it's also predictable.

I'd love to do another neighborhood again. Perhaps someone else can be mayor this time, and decide on size and aesthetics.

Also, for those wondering what an LLC is:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited_liability_company#Overview
An LLC is a unique kind of company, mostly formed in the USA. It is essentially a hybrid of a corporation and partnership, with some of the benefits of corporation (limited liability) while not being incorporated-- it is suitable for companies which have a single owner in that sense, allowing them to have some limited liability without needing the capital for corporations, but also without some of the benefits of incorporation.

**Anvildude**

You could probably set up some sort of Redstone system to automatically reset the pipes.

**Melissia**

I'm nto sure how that would work, even discounting issues of space.

I already have full gem. Apparently I was the first to do so too

**Melissia**

Bah, the only way I'd go agianst full gem is with an inventory of mining lasers set on explode.

Since gem armor doesn't protect much against explosions.

And because it would be AWESOME.

**The Dark Apostle**

You may already gave it, but your skin isn't angron. Need you say any more.

**Matt.Kingsley**

Well, to that I call heresy, Angron hates magic

And, yes, Mel has the right idea,but I'd use an inventory full of full klein star omegas with 1 hyperkinetic lens.. just cause

Never attack anyone in Gem Armour with anything but explosives, Nano Sabre will run out of power before it kills, and it takes forever with a red matter sword (and katar)
Drowning, fire and lava won't work. Poison won't kill, but will weaken.
And getting close is a bad idea anyway.Explosions and Lightning.
So, yeah...

But quantum would probably win, unless the person wearing Gem had a few tricks up their sleeve... such as all the EE2 endgame items...

**IHateNids**

Well, I think ive finally unfethed my Technic Launcher

Dark, I need an inventory reset to the last time I was on for more than 3 seconds, not counting today. Apologies for not having an exact date. Its just I just signed on to the server to a 'you died', and i remember i signed out alive. I wouldve just picked my items up, but they disappeared.

**The Dark Apostle**

I'm gonna make a mages tower where all us mages can stay and train the lesser ones. And where gonna have a mages counsel! Anyone wanna join the counsel, there's 4 seats and I'm in one, so that's 3. But mind you I'm still working in the bar.

I already did that the last time you asked. Unless you've done it again? If all's well then cool.

**IHateNids**

i spawned with the same error message, I can only assume that the reset was lost. This time though, I have manage to move back to my hut, so I can actually save where I am at.

**darkinnit**

I have now made it possible to use DakkaDakka icons on the Tekkit map as markers.

I guess I'll probably end up doing it. You guys can't be harder to manage than NPCs.

I'll wait for the world to settle for a little, then find some unclaimed land. Magic up some villagers maybe if we go with a hybrid city, so if we go down that path I suggest not using wood doors. Other than that it should be fairly open aesthetics wise, just no crazy ugly stuff. I'm sure I could make the basic streets and such look nice as well, especially with how far I am in EE.

**Melissia**

We could try a bigger, better street design as well. As in, streets five wide made of concrete, with a cobblestone stair on the edge, leading up to two blocks of grass, then a sidewalk two wide made of cobblestone or perhaps smoothestone slabs.

**SagesStone**

We could, we're not as restricted as we were in vanilla. Perhaps narrower roads, but we could have rail on them or something to simulate roads easier.

**Melissia**

As long as I don't have to work on the rails I'm okay with taht.

Three wide then?

**SagesStone**

I was sort of hoping they'd have emc and we could find them in a mineshaft.

Three wide will probably be the magic number. One thing though is I think we'd want to avoid a wall to start with in order to let it grow freely, so probably after a fair sized island or another floating city. Maybe even a mix of the two.

K, travelled out to some unexplored section of the map and discovered that this swamp here (http://www.darkinnit.com/tekkitmap/?worldname=tekkit&mapname=surface&zoom=5&x=-1818.7838221544453&y=64&z=-682.4632247876632) is indeed a decently sized island with no signs of anyone living on it. Thus, I claim it and the tiny island off of it for the new Dakka town which I'm still thinking up a name to. If it's too small we can expand down into the Taiga below it.

I'll begin initial building on it later, see if I can get a few plots done. It's more or less going to be ran like Suburbia.

Though I'll have to work out the numbers, the height limit may be taller.

There is also another idea floating around so that island is currently a placeholder should I go with it instead.

**darkinnit**

I now have found a fairly reliable way to monitor (but not restrict) the amounts of Teleport Tethers, Dimensional Anchors, and World Anchors in the world, as well as their owners.

So for now I will continue to allow them, but if lag becomes an issue, I will speak to those who have the most chunks loaded about cutting down or rationalising their layout. (e.g. build stuff on multiple floors within one chunk loader's range rather than using several chunk loaders).

However, I think the main issue with chunk loaders is not how many chunks are loaded, but how many entities are bouncing around in those chunks. So if you have a chunk loader sitting next to a machine that's passing hundreds or thousands of items around in pipes when you're not even online, you are a bad person.

I am also running long term monitoring of the server load. So far, since Thursday, it's been gradually increasing, but we have just had a weekend and the load may go down again now that people have to go to work/school.

**Doctadeth**

Apologies dark - I've put a dimensional anchor up to get my klein star charged and my other stuff EEed up.
