Talk:The Tekkit Wiki

Lock Page
The main page should be locked for not registered useres, they keep linking to other wikis.

Out of date?
On the main page it says our wiki is out of date. Considering this has happened before, am I to presume we are not moving? If so, try and lock the page to only the founder, or maybe the admins as they are the more trusted members of the wiki.

Hi: I setup the other tekkit wiki because it made sense to for mutiple reasons.

I still don't understand why you, if you set it up, should use another wiki to advertise it. If people want to go to that wiki, they can search for it, not almost instantly get re-directed from ours. And another thing, if you put the 'out of date' part, you are lying. We are still in development and thriving every day. I am an active contributer to the Getting Started page, which I try to update every single day. You've got the admins who are on hand if you need help, plus you can ask other contibuters if you don't have time to edit some things.

@TheStuntMan9630 I totally agree with you!

Leo Verto 22:18, April 5, 2012 (UTC)

Thats just advertising technicly they are redircted web trafice for here to there basicly they are just spaming

Edit request.
Someone with the authority, please remove from the bottom of the main page. It does not go there. It does not go anywhere. --billybobfred 18:45, June 6, 2012 (UTC)

Umm, I guess there's a problem with that, when the main page wasn't locked, I already tried removing that category but it didn't work. Leo Verto 21:30, June 6, 2012 (UTC)

German translation
I think a german translation would be nice but i dont know where I should start such a Project ...

Technic Launcher Issue
I'm asking a question of if technic or tekkit can work with manual direct installations of each mod or do i have to have the technic launcher because some reason that the mods as a whole are slightly adjusted from the originals, etc.

I would use the technic launcher, however my copy of java RE 1.7 and java JDK 1.7 doesn't work with technic launcher! I wouldn't waste time and try and mess around with my java yet until I'm sure there is no other way of getting technic and being able to go on tekkit servers.

Left Click Features for EE zero ring and ring of ignition.
Is it a known bug that these don't work? I have made both in my multiplayer server and have supplied fuel (even though they shouldn't use any) but they won't launch snowballs or fireballs respectively. This is kind of annoying and I would be grateful for any information.

Thanks.

>.< New rule, (It makes me sad I even have to say this), Turn off your texture pack if you are going to upload a picture. I am ashamed internetz.

The main page still has the forestry wiki. As you know: as of tekkit 3 forestry is no longer included. Will someone please remove it?

Thanks,

Merging pages
Hello, Instead of having separate pages such as pages for Basalt and Basalt Cobblestone and Basalt Brick, why not merge all those pages into the Basalt] page with separate headers for every type of Basalt stone?  Saves a lot of space, plus it's easier to find information all on the same page, in my opinion. For example, current pages that now refer to [[Basalt Cobblestone, can then refer to http://thetekkit.wikia.com/wiki/Basalt#Cobblestone instead.

New Idea: Printing Press!
I am a constant user for the Tekkit wiki while i play my games, usually exploring machines ive never seen or used before to enhance my knowledge and give me more entertainment with tekkit beyond the basic machines that the yogscast and other youtube celebreties use, including the small community that know about brewing, plant cross breeding, ect. Now, on August 1st, we have had our recent vanilla minecraft update to 1.3, and with that was one of my most waited on item that I have wanted ever since i had seen the flash; Writeable books. With Books comes the abillity to write down important knoweldge and recipes along with other tidbits of information and even personal journals, and when tekkit updates to 1.3 i hope to find a mass of new machines to come in with the new items, and one thing i hope for is a printing press to print words in books for me on a large scale so if i am writing a series of tekkit informational textbooks, i will need this so called item to make spreading information alot easier in game, out of game obviously i come to the wiki. Now this can be apart of industrial craft in its upcoming update, it can be accessed through pipes and I would guess the gui features a book gui and would allow you to save a template of what you want to write possibly by adding a finished book or just write one on the machine, and once that is done you can insert a book with possibly even an inc sack and the machine would start printing the book, and if you piped in books adn quills into the machine you could even pump out books in a machine process from wood and sugarcane to the finished product. on the side it can be questionable if it requires a power source or not wether or not its an electric printing press or manual printing press where you would have to be sitting in the machine (Heck if you could it would be great to have either) I am not a mod developer and I honestly wouldnt be able to make any mods myself, but with this brand new update comes the idea of brand new machines tekkit can explore with, and this will be extremely helpful for the noob tekkit player who has maybe dled tekkit after seeing duncan or the yogscast play tekkit and wanted to explore it themselves or even be refered from a friend...I would really be ecstatic if i found out this machine woule be made and used in the next version, comment or recomend this to others if you agree with me that this is a good idea..=3 and thanks for reading

Sigh. Tekkit has many control conflicts, and many would cause it to crash, which means I am unable to change certain conflicts. MOTHA&#39; ****IN&#39; CHUCK NORRIS (talk) 08:21, August 13, 2012 (UTC)

New colors?
I am I just going crazy, or was the background black before? I don't know about you guys, but I prefer white text on a black background - it's MUCH easier on your eyes. Can it at least be an option we can set ourselves, instead of being forced to go with what's there?

Maoman (talk) 03:29, August 23, 2012 (UTC)

I'd quite like to see the option for adding coloured text (unless I've missed something obvious). Colour can be usefull when creating diagrams (Signalling being a good example)

MrMonkfish (talk) 14:06, November 28, 2012 (UTC)

this page needs a download link to tekkit
I think that the opening page needs a link to the tekkit download, or official page, so that the people who are just browsing to see if they want it can easily find the download Yutfgh (talk) 03:03, August 30, 2012 (UTC)

Link to Technic Wiki?
Since the main page is locked, would someone please add a link to the Technic Wiki on there, including something about it being the single player version of Tekkit? http://technicpack.wikia.com/wiki/Technic_Pack_Wiki does link to here, so it's not the case of spamming or advertising as others have done, more informational and a link exchange of sorts.

(I say this having spent the last 40 hours in a single player Tekkit world, not realizing that's not the ideal mode of playing. *sigh*)

Mooklepticon (talk) 21:36, September 11, 2012 (UTC)

You do know that Technic was before Tekkit, so if anything, Tekkit is multiplayer Technic. DynastyW 21:56, September 11, 2012 (UTC)

No, I don't know that. Well, not until you informed me. I do now.

Missing Pictures
Some of the missing pictures could be easily filled in such as the nether ores mod. Can these get added?

Thanks,

All Wiki Activity on the Front Page
Perhaps there should be a All Wiki Activity Box on the front page to show both talk and page updates. Would help show the community of the wiki. Like the following:

Bugs Section
Proud to be a part of the Tekkit Wiki! This is my 1st post!

Anyway, while looking at   wiki/Power_Converters#Energy_Link   I noticed that there was a line that read: Note: There appears to be a bug in that the bottom face of an Energy Link cannot be used as an output, though this didn't used to be the case. This made me wonder why there isn't a Bugs section at the end of pages. It seems to be a good idea when you look at the Minecraft Wiki, and I think would work quite well here, too!

2cool4me4 03:08, December 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * Quite a lot of the pages have bug sections already. If you see pages that have bugs listed on them but not under a heading of == Bugs == feel free to add one and move the bugs under it. Likewise if you know of a new bug.


 * Just make sure that it's the last thing on the page.


 * PS. Welcome to the Tekkit Wiki!

Integrated Armors
Hatchling101 (talk) 05:57, December 16, 2012 (UTC)Integrated ArmorsHatchling101 (talk) 05:57, December 16, 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I have been playing Tekkit/ Techinc for a while, and the one thing I really hate is that to fly you can use a jet pack, but you have to take the chest plate off to do this, leaving your chest exposed, so you can also use a swift wolf's rending gale, but they're really expensive, so that's a problem. What I am suggesting is that there should be a way to put jet packs, mining lasers, force field projectors, and other stuff into the armors to make it a little more convenient when playing (PS. to compensate for all the cool gadgets, you can make it so that it uses a lot more energy [PPS. you could also put bat packs in it to hold more energy]).


 * This really isn't the place to request new features. I don't think that anyone here has control over the dev's of the  mods/tekkit. Also, you posted on top of my old post. Next time, I would recommend using the Add Topic button at the top of the page. ;)
 * 2cool4me4 (talk) 15:32, December 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * As 2cool4me4 said, we are not the developers of tekkit. Also, even the tekkit devs wouldn't have any input over that, as tekkit is only a collection of mods.


 * The only peeps who could do what you suggest would be the IC2 devs.

Bugs
3.1.3 build is bugged with Rotary macerators crashing the game often. Might need to look into it.

Well
Hi guys, I just found this thing on tekkit, it is this wierd temple thing. I will post some screenshots of it. If anyone can tell me what it is would be greatly appreciated.DaSword (talk) 02:34, December 25, 2012 (UTC) DaSword
 * Unfortunately, you posted under someone else's post. I have fixed it for you   (I think). Anyway, you may want to go to the tekkit forums, because we have no link to the dev's of tekkit or the mods.Link to the tekkit forums: http://forums.technicpack.net/ 2cool4me4 (talk) 15:03, December 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * It's Desert Well .--Bloodhit (talk) 18:12, December 25, 2012 (UTC)

???
Is this a real game or a minecraft mod???


 * I would suggest you read the front page. Watson 777 (talk) 21:36, January 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * So its not made by the makers of minecraft?


 * Nope. It's made from multiple mods (packed together by the Technic team).


 * PS. Please sign your messages with... ~ Watson 777 (talk) 22:14, January 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * So its a hack... Also I have no acount


 * No... it's a mod pack... and you have to have a Minecraft account to play it.


 * Please sign your messages! Watson 777 (talk) 22:22, January 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * Its not realesed by minecraft so its a hack (or whatever you wanna call it) And I have no account.
