ok well looks like you got it figured and to be honest my ideas were very plugin dependant and i still might get around to using them myself at a later date when i actually have time to make and run a server properly…………………………………………………………………………….. <————look see periods i am trying

anyway, i looked at tekkit and although it will most likely take me a while to fully get the grasp of it my love of redstone defiantly prevails and i can wait to get the chance to fool around with multi wires and circuit blocks and what not….

tekkit looks pretty sweet. I’m all for it.
seems like using it might make updates a lot easier on you.

So far, so good! I’ve been doing a LOT of reading on plugins in Tekkit, most specifially IndustrialCraft and BuildCraft. I think it’s a great focus to take the server, especially since you know I’m the “big city” builder…and having a myriad of immense creations around will kick ass. I can already see a huge 8 reactor power plant that can not only deliver 40EU/tick per reactor, but also refuel itself by recharging spent uranium. Four reactors would run at a time, and when they are spent, the other reactors would take over. The power lines would charge up to a huge power station that can hold ridiculous amounts of energy. Power lines going to sections of town would stretch out along the roads, with transformers along the way keeping the power loss at a minium. Transformers at users’ locations can regulate current down to ensure everyone gets power at the size they need without killing their shit. Long story short, that’s 3200 EU being generated every second, using reactors that are self-sustainable uranium-wise. Cool, huh?

Tekkit is actually not hard to set up on the basic end…I already have the server running. As far as locking it down and everything, that will take a bit of time, but not ridiculously so. It’s just a matter of finding what users should have what. I’m going to rethink user ranks and all that. I like the idea of having user ranks, as it gives incentive to play, but I don’t want to restrict users from doing nothing, either. I’ll find a good balance of “leveling up” and being granted more and more dangerious tools for sure.

If you didn’t have further suggestions, maybe you’ll want to play on the test server for a bit and test stuff out. Details in the next post.

I’d love to hear your suggestions. If you have it written up or something, you can forward it off to my email. I’m not gonna post it publicly on here, but if you check out my wordpress user profile on the blog here, you should be able to find it.

Don’t worry…we’ll figure something out. I’m still thinking a lot of this through, so I’m sure we’ll all come up with something. I am considering waiting for the plugin API to work through myself, but I have a feeling setting up a Tekkit server right now isn’t such a bad idea. If anything, the Tekkit team will probably keep it going themselves, and we’ll have some form of persistent support. Either way, if we have to go Tekkit, then drop it later, it’d be better than having no server at all.

Me and Nick were Playing Tekkit for a few days. Takes some getting used to but it really is a great addition. Suggestions are pending at the moment. I’m sure i’ll come up with some in the coming days. The only other thing I have to say is, Heck yeah!
