Tutorial/Jump Starting Tekkit

Hello and welcome to the first page of mine this is how to jump start in tekkit and conguer the cuby world with machines nukes and whatever comes to your mind, i have played tekkit for quite a while now (were talking years here) and I would like to offer mi secrets of a succesful start to all you newbies and veterans alike =D

1. ITS ALL IN THE START

How you start in a world is very important in tekkit, unlike vanilla minecraft where you mindlessly punch a tree, tekkit requires skill and planing... and mindless tree punching, to get that point where you can fly around in a quantum suit shooting stuff with lasers and acting like Dart Vader, you will have to face many chalanges but remember these words "The road to succses is paved with failiure" and "It's always darkest before dawn", these words probably should not refer to a "How to become an industrial maniac" guide (yes, that's what this is) but put them to good use and make the creators of those marvelous sayings proud =D

2.KNOW YOUR SOROUNDINGS

You spawned a new world, before punching trees, get to higher ground (Treetop for example) and look for little beacons of leaves, note those positions, also see if you can find any caves while you're up top, next punch some wood and make a crafting bench

3.GETTING DOWN AND DIRTY

So, you made crafting table now what, well the first thing you do is make a wooden pick and start digging in a pattern that resembles a staircase, also bring the crafting bench with you so as soon as you get enough stone you can make a stone pick, first thing you'll notice is increased amounts of coal and iron, this is because IC2 (Industrial Craft 2) requires coal for most of it's energy, and iron for most machines, grab as much of both as you can and find a bit of copper, this is your firs tekkit ore and you'll need it for cables machines and even as a fuel for equivalent exchange to get diamonds, while those ores are smelting you might want to make a treetap and visit those weird trees I told you to remember, those are rubber trees, walk up to the and look for yellow dots on the tree trunks, right click those to get sticky resin, keep right clicking until a little dent in the tree disapears, also grab some saplings, so you can plant them and make a rubber farm, this you should do while the ores smelt, when you finish put the resin in a furnace and cook it so it becomes rubber make some iron gear, but don't spend it all and you're set for the night, i recomend playing on peaceful because mob spawns increase in tekkit, so peaceful is like normal or more in vanilla, so stay indors for the first night.

4.GOING DOWN

Alright, so its time to mine, go to the nearest cave and go down, you'l need saphire, ruby, and emerald for tools as they are as strong as diamond and a little bit more durable than iron, but you need iron to mine it, uranium you should keep cause its useful in late game and tin silver and other miscelanius ores can be used as materials for machines or be turned into diamond in equivalent exchange, redstone is used in all of the mods so grab as much as you can and you'l be fine, if you see diamonds get them (duh) because you need to go to the nether for nether ores as fast as you can

That's about it, if you want to learn more about machines or equivalent exchange visit they're respective pages
