I also read as many posts on the forums as well and I am interested in Tekkit. Its just way too much for me to take in at once. I need someone that is the complete opposite of me in vanilla, patient. To teach me how to work this game. If someone I know is willing to show me around the basic stuff so I can figure out the more advanced stuff myself I might play on the Tekkit server.

I'm having the most trouble getting the controls to how I want them. Sour told me what buttons to press, but they didn't do anything. I change my configuration to suit my preferences.

Schem, watch Duncan's aka Yogscastlalna's tutorial. It is quite good for beginning. And of the Yogscast association is too much for you, I can help you a bit. I am a pretty patient person if I want to teach someone .

My main issue of LP tutorials of this stuff is that it isn't comprehensive. They only show one possible playstyle that they liked. For me at least, reading the wikis for an overview of what stuff is helped a lot.

Helpful question, schem: What are you most interested in? Automated mining? Automated farming? Magic? Matter conversion? More efficient machines (Such as faster furnaces)? Programming? Exploring? Traveling?

Hmm... I should add Industrialcraft's furnaces and macerators to the tutorial. Macerators turn ores into 2 dust, which then can be cooked into metals. Double yield.

Hmmm, looks like something happened to Schem and Sour. Either of you have any light to shed, so I can see if I can fix it?

There was a buildcraft corrupted pipe which I just fixed. That might have been it.

There's a duplication glitch with ee. Grab a stack of something, click one in the trans. Table, then shift click with the stack into your inv., it will dupe the item. You could even fill the table with the item, shift click it back in your inv. And it will dupe all of them. I believe it will be patched in the next update, but for now, very exploitable

Yeah crafting table 2. I'm fairly sure you can blacklist specific items so you wouldn't necessarily have to remove ee, just blacklist items

I have been noticing occasional issues. That one was a corrupted buildcraft pipe that had no metadata, so the server complained constantly.

Going to make a new thread for this server soon. SDM, perhaps you can do the favor of making a subforums for this? It would also help unclog the forums for the vanilla server.

My current thoughts on EE:
Disable everything broken and exploitable
Disable high level matter generators (Perhaps keep the cheaper ones? Don't people filling their houses with diamond generators)
Disable most of the power items, except for harmless ones like the harvest band.
Leave the rest. I enjoy bags, chests, and covalence dust.

EE question: Keep transmutation? That is the biggest game changer of EE, being able to make something profitable and useful out of your stacks and stacks of cobble. I am currently leaning towards keeping it.

I agree with keeping it. Its part of what makes tekkit tekkit. Plus with how much stuff you need to make everything it simplifies the game a bit

Actually, EE is a new addition to tekkit. Thats why so many complain IMBA. Because it is such a gamechanger.
I agree. It mostly speeds it up. If people abuse it, I can just punish them individually.

Definately getting rid of most of the power items. Even the water amulet, which can act as an infinite water bucket when crafting, lets you fire at the sky to make it start raining. Similarly, the fire one lets you chuck lava at people and remove rain.
And the watch of flowing time lets you change the speed of the sun. Yeah, that sounds abusable.
It would be nice to disable the global functions of items, while letting them keep the more local features (Such as watch speeding up nearby machines.)

TL;DR Keeping the basics of EE, but getting rid of the severly IMBA features. EE wasn't designed for SMP.
