    Copper Ore Help

    There are also bee species that produce copper, if that's an option for you.

    Chunk Loading Mining Turtle

    I've also seen this happen with chunk loading turtles, when I know for a fact it did not run out of fuel nor was the server restarted (I'm the admin). I was not able to narrow it down any, so I'm curious to see if you get any answers here. I did observe that it seems to have no issues if the...

    Help with a different kind of SoulShard/Turtle based farm

    If calling turtle.dig() does not scoop up both the cage and the shard, you might be out of luck. Unless you put a transposer or two on a timer underneath to grab the loose items, then pipe them back to the turtle. Although you'd be better off disabling the soul cage with a redstone signal and...

    Applied Energistics stopped crafting

    Also note that pending crafting jobs will be canceled if machines are added or removed from the ME network. Which includes any sitting in chunks that get unloaded as you move around. One strategy there is to put full chunk loader coverage on the network. Not sure if that's the issue here, just a...

    Red Power 2 status?

    Is there another mod that offers functionality similar to RP2 frames? I'm thinking hard about dumping RP2 on our server, and that's one concern for our players.

    Turtles stop working even with Chunk Loaders

    Exactly. If the turtle is not where the program expects it to be on startup, all kinds of bad can happen. You only have a few options there... 1. Make your program fully support state-saving/restore with every single move (ugh), 2. At startup make sure it can go back to a known "home" position...

    Turtles stop working even with Chunk Loaders

    Are you using actual chunk loaders? When it comes to turtles I've only had success with Railcraft World Anchors. The chunk loader turtle upgrade from MiscPeripherals also works, but requires someone to be logged in. World Anchors placed in the turtle's area do not.

    Applied Energistic Storage Room!

    I don't believe so. Wireless Access Point blocks have to be physically connected to the network, and the only things that connect wirelessly to them are the Wireless Access Terminals, not other access points.

    Factorization processing. Is it worth it? Also, a concept.

    The Crystallizers are typically the bottleneck in a Factorization line. Instead of the usual, but pricey multiple-routers-per-Crystallizer setup, I made one CC turtle with an Inventory Upgrade (MiscPeripherals mod). He receives all the reduced ore chunks, then moves up/down the row of...

    biomes o plenty vs extrabiomes xl

    It's Dynmap. An excellent server mod, can't live without it.

    Applied Energistic Storage Room!

    Not fixed. Linking to dropbox like that will just take people to their dropboxes, not yours. Right-click your photo folder in the web UI and click "share link" to get the public link.

    biomes o plenty vs extrabiomes xl

    Are you saying Biomes O Plenty has known compatability issues with those mods? I'm curious because we're considering switching to it on our new server.

    Transportation Options?

    I used to play with friends on a Tekkit server, where we pretty quickly had teleporters going everywhere and never touched Railcraft. I felt like we'd missed some fun stuff. This time we're disabling all teleport tech (including portal guns, tesseracts and other "magic" item/liquid/energy...

    Melee turtle help pls

    @baw, did you try labeling the turtle as suggested? Type "label set whatever" on the turtle's console to label it with a name of your choosing. Then it will run its "startup" when the chunk it's in loads.

    Adding Mods/Items to a server

    Details/requirements for custom mod packs are spelled out here: http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/guidelines-for-private-mod-packs.9598/ To quote that page:

    uhh really confused.. My servers world file just got 6 times larger in a few hours

    Does your server have Dynmap installed bychance? That can definitely render a couple GBs of map tiles in the span of hours.

    Help, I am getting explosion sounds from the far side of my base

    Look for an engine that's running without somewhere to pipe its energy. They will make explosion sounds for a while before actually blowing up. Learned this the hard way.

    Barrel/Router question

    Getting stuck in the router when there's no destination is normal behavior. You can put an overflow handler of some sort on the tube leading into the router, or set up a filter on a long timer to pull jammed items from the router, etc.

    Barrel/Router question

    Routers will currently stick items in random barrels/inventories, even if you already have that item in one of them. Adding a "thoroughness upgrade" to the router makes no difference either. I imagine this is a bug, but I don't know for sure. The only fix I found for this was to put a single...

    Buildcraft Quarry accident caused Chunk reset.

    I doubt the chunk regenerated. Block changes are not immediately saved to disk, they are in the server's memory for some period of time before written out. That can be quite awhile depending on how it's configured, and the whim of the server code (in my experience). When the server crashed it...
