Hello all,

As many of you know we have had several issues with lag as well as Equivalent Exchange. We have been researching ways to fix the problems and continuing to find new issues each day. As a resuilt we have come to the following conclusion. EE and buildcraft will be completely removed from the server. Removing buildcraft.... why? Buildcraft is causing a lot of severe errors in the console which in turn causes lag. Buildcraft can also cause map corruption which is never a good thing. Equivalent exchange is being removed for obvious reasons.

So the bad news......

This will require a map reset to remove the items from the map that are causing the issues. This was an extremely hard decision to make due to the fact we just reset the map. We researched every possible option before considering this option.

However there is some good news that can come from this. A decision which you the users will make for us <object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f642.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":)">:)</object>

Since the map is going to be fully reset we can use this time to switch over to a new mod pack. Feed The Beast is an awesome mod pack which offers a lot more opportunity for players other then just building a huge factory and amassing huge amounts of emc. Feed the beast already has plans to update to 1.4.5 and has stated so on their forums (unlike tekkit where we just don't know its fate). FTB also brings back great mods like forestry (Not allowed in tekkit by the dev). We will still be taking out buildcraft from FTB but many other mods will give us plenty of new and exciting options. So instead of just losing options we gain hours and hours of new content.

Here are some videos of the mods from FTB:

Extra Biomes (old video but covers everything and is in english <object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f61b.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":p">:p</object> )

Forestry

Portal Gun Part 1 (EPIC!) has a second part please check it out as well <object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f642.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":)">:)</object>

Gregtech

Mystcraft

Factorization

Thermal Exspansion

So please vote whether to keep tekkit or switch to FTB. When it's clear what the community wants I will make another announcement and specify a time frame for either option.

Thanks,

Maybe FeedTheBeast will offer less problems for people like me that can't run tekkit all that great. Does it still require a tekkit launcher or is it a launcher of its own? if so then I may be able to use it.

It has its own launcher just like tekkit. It's available Here <object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f642.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":)">:)</object>

I agree with the decisions made, although I've just gotten into Tekkit again and started getting somewhere.

I seriously cannot be fucked starting again. <object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f610.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":|">:|</object> ./tekkitragequit

Well unfortunately either way results in a map reset <object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/2639.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":(">:(</object>

FTB will be great for someone like yourself. It has all the technology of the tekkit server and much more. FTB has much more long term play value over just build a massive factory and collect items.

Lets try feed the beast <object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f642.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":)">:)</object>

I would like to point out to everyone that the TEKKIT server is in BETA, meaning that Minetown is experimenting with it for its players. As with any beta program many changes happen until its release. Just something for everyone to keep in mine. And if your worried about losing everything then keep in mine in Tekkit griefing can/does happen and it could happen really easily if some people knew how.

So I've had a look at Feed The Beast, and it looks promising, all of a sudden I'm quite interested.

/un-ragequit. Haha.

I'm looking forward to seeing what Minetown can do with this. <object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f642.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":)">:)</object>

Knew you would come around welcome back <object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f642.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":)">:)</object>

I haven't tried or even heard of Feed The Beast, but I've lost just about all interest in Tekkit by now. I vote for the change!
