Quantum is being banned in the next map.

Also, who built the fuglyass tower and bridge SW of the base? They're gonna get removed.

I did. I'm sorry if you don't like them, they're both still in the early stages of construction. What your looking at with the bridge is just the beginning of the foundation, it'll get prettied up later but right now the one wide bit headed off into the distance does its job of providing a guide to build off later and giving us easy access to the volcano and island to the south that I've been mining for marble (me and Vattic actually found a huge ravine while mining there, its a pretty nice spot). Admittedly, the right test support pillar does have to be moved one block over but I'll get around to that eventually. As for the tower, whats visible now will eventually be the inner wall. The final outside will be basalt, stepped three times to give it that "slightly narrower as it goes up" look. At the top quarter of the tower the basalt will spread out into "claws" holding a clear glass sphere (think like a gem setting on a ring) with an artificial mushroom garden. I still can't decide whether there should be spread out supports at the bottom like the Eiffel tower (or a hatstand) or a pyramid.

If you have an constructive criticisms of my architectural plans feel free to offer them up, I'd be happy to do the same for your projects.

Could someone make step by step instructions for getting on? It still isn't letting me connect

Download the launcher > Select Tekkit in the dropdown in the top left of the launcher window > Press the little button below the login box that says "options" > go to the build selection and choose the dev build

Well, I have a design for an unleverable one-way door that would work for our exit, the only problem is that It will require me to lower the road infront of the door by one block, since the doors have to be a block higher then the pressure plate to work.
Should I go ahead with the plan for this door?

[Twi]

   Once everyone has it then the advantage is fully on the side of the defenders. With a level playing field it will be traps that decide the day though I guess the attackers could just ignore the defenders and riffle through their chests then leave once done. At least that is what I would do in a situation where I can't kill you but you can't kill me.

A guy in the technic forums tested being shunted around by musket fire for 10 solid minutes, didn't do a pixel of damage to the charge.
He also fired a fully charged with EV tesla coil and it didn't do any damage.

So yeah, PvP would basically be dossing around until you can get to their chests and then taking everything, while they go and do the same in your base

On the other hand, falling into a bottomless pit is still usually lethal

[Wayward Device]

Quantum protects against fall damage. Its basically craftable godmode, which is why its being banned.

Hence bottomless. Alternatively, into an End Portal.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

That would require being able to create a bottomless pit or an end portal

That's what nuclear explosions are for?

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Nuclear explosions still can't destroy bedrock

I didn't say just one nuclear explosion, now, did I?
Besides, TNT can destroy bedrock if you get ungodly amounts of it. I mean, yeah, you'd get yelled for crashing the server, but so?
(Note: You could contain it somewhat with a large amount of obsidian. Which might help slightly. o3o)
(Other note: I don't actually want you to do that. Just so you know. )

[Vattic]

I thought you would all like to know that the potion traps I posted earlier in the thread will destroy anyone in quantum armour with ease.

Linky? I don't feel like searching through it all

Here is a video of an early prototype. I had to slow things down a bit after an update increased the invulnerability time between potion hits. I just made a new design with RP2.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It could probably be simplified some but I'm not used to all these mods. The dispenser could also be resupplied using BC and maybe RP. The double repeaters are because the pulse former creates a pulse too short to set off the dispenser. I'd normally put another in bellow the two at the top but it seems to work anyway.

please dont mess with the doors.
they are already unleverable, coz they are on their sides, so they close when redstone is ipplied.
