i think people arent using the tools tekkit gives us to build.

Micro blocks... flying... new mats... new blocks... possibilities are ENDLESS.
 
You guys should watch direwolf20's Season 4 SSP series from 1.2.5 if you want to get to know the mods and get ideas on how to use them. Also check out his mod spotlights and the new Server Play season that's ongoing (using latest FTB and other unreleased stuff).
 
NK and I have been messinag around in his FTB server,

Got some quarry and oil pumpage/refining going... fun so far..

So how is that any different then what we have now?

From what I hear the quarry is a bunch faster cause it's a new version. I'll be honest haven't played much of the older version.

Someone just mentioned FTB earlier so I figured I'd give some first hand knowledge about it.

Plus the quarry isn't really useful in Tekkit. Neither is pumping oil (you can create it in Oil Fabs). Some of the mods in Tekkit really makes a lot of other parts of the pack useless.
 
changing tekkit to FTB will do the same. People will start playing again from scratch... build their place. Harness the power of the mod ... after that it will be a ghost server.

im quite sad at the moment with this situation... we have all the tools we need to build AWESOME structure... i started my University campus but i have no one to build with me ...

:(

True,

but with FTB being mod supported, they *should* actually get new things added to those mods and easily able to support new mods that arne't even out yet since they will have the support of existing mod creators.
 
The current server would of lasted longer if it wasn't so easy to get materials, if things actually took time to do.

Takes quite a bit of effort to get a successful tekkit server running these days, that or go completely public with it like the major servers do.

It's one of the things H will have to deal with, this is more of a community server then anything else, we rely on a small group of people to keep the server active, it's just not going to work long term.

When we started talking about switching to FTB or any other mod pack, or possibility of Tekkit updating, whatever it may be, I stopped wanting to play.

I'm not going to work on my project knowing it won't last as long as I'd like it to. As long as we are in discussion about what our future is, I don't see a point in playing.

Originally I was only going to play here till I got my server up and running again but when I found out about all the updates I put that on hold as well.

It's just a bad time to try and get somethine worked out. I can't see FTB really taking off that amazing unless they can get more Administrative mods ported over to MC, or a way to limit/have more control over the mods that are in the pack in the first place.

I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I got bored with Minecraft after starting anew a half dozen times, gathering a bunch of resources, and then basically just building structures or mob grinders or whatnot. Collecting resources just isn't a super fun part of the game for me.

With mods, there may be items to help getting raw materials more easily, but the amount of crazy, useful contraptions you can build is staggering. It doesn't have to just be about making massive buildings with mods. Plus, if you use FTB and want to use GregTech, there are some ridiculously high-level energy devices that would take a long, LONG time to achieve.

Also, regarding FTB, I agree about admin mods, but the launcher makes it so you can add whatever additional mods you want, and you can fully customize the base mod pack to have full control over the mods that are in the pack. I think FTB with the launcher is going to end up being the end all, be all of running mods in Minecraft, personally. If they achieve the level of customization that they are going for, it should be a great universal launcher for mods. Also, it sounds like they are working closely with Mojang to get mods implemented more natively in Minecraft without needing Forge and all this other API stuff.

Yeah I think the customization available in FTB is great. They just need to work out a way to have the client automatically adjust to the server's mod configurations. Right now if there are configuration mismatches, you either can't connect, or your recipes end up wrong.

That said, I think a customized version of FTB would be a fun little project. There are some fun mods that work great with it that aren't in the pack.

As far as HardCraft goes, there just doesn't seem to be anything that will draw back players unfortunately :(
 
I'll play, arr4ws. I'm not going out drinking tonight like I had originally thought (pity because that would've been awesome to end the family day time with drunkardness).
 
The administration of the server made me lose interest to be honest. I still had lots of plans for projects but don't see the point anymore.

Whats the problem?

A private matter mostly, nothing that needs to be discussed here further. I have talked with dude in pms and was unsatisfied with the outcome. I'm sorry I said anything now, was just being honest about why I haven't been playing.
 
that would be a cool mod, alternate world, all post war wasteland, you take the right pill and you teleport to it. The only way to get back in is build the machine that gets you in!
 
Not sure what it is (and it's very likely just me) but the dynmap won't come up in Firefox or in Opera.
 
Looks that way. Could be dude changing stuff or the whitelist got reset/removed.

Quick! Start a spam campaign towards dudewth's PM inbox! Go!
 
Hrm. Something weird is going on now. I join the server, it lets me on long enough to hit the block in front of me and then I disconnect/the window goes white. Yet when I start a single player game, it's working fine. Well except the massive slow down that you get when you set off >20 nukes.

(edit) I'll try it on my netbook through a wifi tether to my phone.

(edit2) Apparently, my desktop is retarded. It worked fine on my netbook :/.

woo! Post count padding.

Is the server down for anyone else?

(edit)
Also, the dynmap loads but doesn't display the time of day if that helps?

Seems to have crashed. Restarted it.
 
Arr4ws and I will be looking for more people to help us with the massive University grounds. Get ahold of me (insomnibyte) or arr4ws ingame for more information!

I have ~256 turtles that I never got to use if you want an army of little bots to help build it for you :)

They are good for building just can't break any blocks.

By the way NKD, if turtles ever worked correctly your Pyramid would have been made entirely of pink wool and pink lamps, but the turtles could be used to put it back to normal in a few minutes because I made sure to program them with the ability to make the prank and undo the prank.
 
I play a lot less then I used to. Hobbies are shifting again, I've got about 5 of them and they shift every so many months. Just got a project car to throw some money and time into.

Anyone been playing Minecraft lately? I've been in the middle of a move.

I haven't been on the server. I have done some FTB single player maps. Just starting the Insanity one. I think I am waiting for RedPower2 to get released for FTB then I will find a server running that and move onto that. The EE overpoweredness just sorta sapped a lot of the fun from Tekkit.

This, I think once you got Quantum armor, it wasnt fun to play at all anymore. Kinda took the whole element of fear from you if you were doing stuff, not paying attention and a creeper blows up, puts you near dead and you fear every corner in a mineshaft. Now, its sssssss, boom...... wtf was that, damn mosquito.
