Tekkit:Starting Guide

Most people on Profans server start Tekkit with little to no knowledge; if you do have knowledge, skip this tutorial.

Tekkit is all about Companies, Industry and advanced architecture. Gameplay starts are normal mine craft with some noticeable difference in machines, you must mine yourself. Then, you will begin to have machines that do this automatically for you (Or you can buy the resources!) and you can either store or manufacture items with these, you can then begin to build some advanced architecture. You can either build an industrious empire, or be an architect. As with minecraft, its all up to you.

Difference between Default Minecraft and Tekkit
When playing Minecraft, you are focused onto building towns and getting the coolest loot, maybe making some mega-builds. In Tekkit, you are given the addition to go beyond simple resource gathering and enchantments; you now proceed to automatic machines that do tedious work for you. Transportation and the moving of resources is now much easier and efficient. Some key differences are :

Gameplay Standpoint

 * Introduction of advanced railways
 * Automatic Machines
 * Bigger, Better architecture
 * Advanced machinery

Social Standpoint

 * More Companies then towns
 * More blocks come with more use of trading
 * More competition for resources
 * Longer lasting players, shorter lasting worlds.

While minecraft focuses on Towns; Large Tekkit servers will focus on companies, as there is more resource Exploitation. For players who might rather build then collect; these companies will supply them.

Difference between Tekkit and Profans Tekkit
Although technic pack is a lot of fun for singleplayer; there were problems porting it to multiplayer. Mostly griefing and lag issues. To remove these, profan has removed some key features of tekkit :


 * IC2 Nukes & Nuclear Generators
 * Buildcraft
 * Turtle(Computercraft)
 * EE2

This means that there will be less factories that produce thousands of items at once. You will still need to dig everything manually. This destroys serious griefing and lag, while EE2 being removed; also removes most overpowered items.

This gives an overall better experience.

Gameplay Guides
You should start with simple machines from IndustrialCraft 2, continue making machines until you are comfortable with using other mods. You can then begin to start your Empire.
