Are you familiar with Power flowers? I can supply a few of those. Are you going for weapons systems?

Hey guys, dark, I wanted to submit the following

1. Use the "never unload chunk" blocks to make universal server timers.

Basically dark, you should use a few of these and wireless restone transmitters to create timers that everyone can run off of, this will reduce lag since we don't have people all over the place with repeating redstone timers, and generally make things cleaner

2. How much space can I have?
Realistically I'd like to move my entire temple of terra project over to this server, the ability to transport materials and gather them more easily means I can scale this project up to absolutely hilarious levels, if you guys want to support me.

1) Sounds like a good idea in principle, but is there a possibility one person could (accidentally or maliciously) end up transmitting on the same frequency and break everyone's circuit timings? If not, cool go ahead.

2) Maybe just do some tests and experiments on the Tekkit server for now but not start a mega-project juuust yet? I'm looking at the feasibility of FTB as a potential new server and I wouldn't want you to get so far through your mega-project and then have to start over again (if you wanted to go on the FTB server).

FTB is supported by the mod-developers themselves, so it looks like a better plan in the long run.

**Matt.Kingsley**

Well, I can easily help you with both!

Thats reasonable, to be honest the thing that kept the titan from getting out of control huge was not resources, it was the constant creeper repairs

Wait, you are seriously thinking of this

that's good.

Added bonus of recent updates

FTB has some buggy beta things, though. Currently it also doesn't have Wireless Redstone, mainly because RedPower2 isn't done yet.

Oh, and no overpowered EE, ever. Instead it will eventually have EE3, which is less OP.

**SagesStone**

Woo looks like procrastination on that tower I was building may pay off after all.

**Matt.Kingsley**

What? That tower of red matter?

Well, no more Red Matter from what very little of EE3 I've seen...

That's why I converted all mine into diamonds in preparation

**SagesStone**

No no, this thing.

May need to redesign because there isn't enough room to complete it.

**Matt.Kingsley**

What do you mean not enough room

**SagesStone**

That's only the base, at most I can get maybe a third of it.

**Matt.Kingsley**

ah, height limit blues?

**SagesStone**

Yep...

**Doctadeth**

Gruntz, if you start redoing the Titan on tekkit, I'll support you as well when I am done with my rail link....

Hope you realise that if I do make a FTB server, the FTB server will be a completely new world, starting from scratch.

There a far too many differences in the mods to make it even remotely possible to copy the world over.

I'll have to recreate my base, so many deaths

**Grundz**

Is there anything in either mods to convert biomes to mooshroom, or otherwise prevent mob spawns besides "torch everything!" or

**SagesStone**

Just make a new base, more laser shows.

**Avatar 720**

Just as well I burned out with my marble brick town, then.

Would I be able to get a copy of this tekkit world before it goes so I can more easily re-build what I've got on the new one?

Not sure if it works through walls (i.e. put them on an inside wall/floor so they aren't visible outside)?

If I do take the Tekkit server offline, yes I will make the world available for download.

**SagesStone**

They do. Mobs will also float and be flung around in the air if you drop them onto a bed of them. Like a trampoline.

Yeah, I thought of those but that doesn't solve the problem, just makes it less predictable, I'd much, much rather mobs don't spawn then to shove them in a random direction, especially if having hundreds or more likely thousands of these in the titan would cause massive lag

Cheers.

**Vulkan_He'stan**

If we do reset to FTB, can we do like we did before the reset of the normal world, with creative and destruction?

**Anvildude**

Heck you guys don't even need Creative mode. You've got Nukes and Magic. I wanna see that place reduced to Bedrock if you're doing it.

**SagesStone**

We don't need creative though.

**Matt.Kingsley**

If we do do destruction, I'd gladly help!

Just as long as no one puts 100 nukes down at one time, lol

:looks at 4oursword:

**darkinnit**

I think 4oursword has a few more than 100....

**matapata98**

Hey! I feel left out! now my nuclear stockpile has a use...

**Dr. What**

Would a FtB server replace Tekkit?

**Avatar 720**

Most likely, yes.

We can't expect dark to maintain the regular MC server, an FtB server, and a Tekkit server next to nobody would use because of FtB, just on the off-chance that the Tekkit one might be used by someone one day.
