    I dunno, I think Equivalent Exchange doesn't mold well with IC,BC and Redpower.

    Yeah, I watch his let's play and I just think they don't go together. I dunno. I'm on the fence about EE. I'd be okay with it being added once it's SMP.

    Ok, so we also need to know if you want the server to be Creative or Survival. We have also discussed doing both, and have something similar to the Nexus.

    Well, most of the stuff in creative doesn't show up on the screen. It's missing a ton of blocks and Redpower currently has bugs with Creative, so I'd say Survival but having both would be nice. You could test something out on the creative world and then do it in the Survival world.

    Well, to start with "Creative" does not mean you have creative mode. It means you can spawn in items with /item. So its just like survival, but you can hack in items.

    I will be talking with TexasGamer today, about the possible of both.

    This. It's possible to do a Nexus type thing, but AFAIK the Nexus code would require some adjustments for it to work. I do agree that having both options would be the best thing.

    It doesn't have to be a Nexus thing, but 3 world, 1 for Switcher, 1 for Creative and 1 for survival. They also have to have separate inventory. Switcher world would not have a inventory. Certain mods, like a Nether Update, would only be in Survival, if we could do that.

    Another possibility is having commands to switch world, much like James. Inventory, however, would need to be wiped upon switch.

    Or portals at the Spawn of both. And you would spawn in Survival and you could pick at that time?

    Me and TexasGamer have came to a conclusion, for now, we are ONLY going to have Survival. This may change it the future, but for now, were going to have only survival. We also discussed about bumping up the rarity of diamonds and gold, since it seems Buildcraft and other mods use a lot of these.

    Hopefully, we can get a combined Wiki also, for all information of the mods, although, that might take a while.

    Thanks for your support,
    famerdave, and TexasGamer

    Bumping up the rarity? Do you mean how often they spawn?

    Well, you can make diamonds in IC2.

    To create an Industrial Diamond from scratch, you need:
    • 64 Coal ([​IMG])
    • 1 of either Obsidian ([​IMG]), Bricks ([​IMG]), or Iron Block ([​IMG])
    • 8 Flint ([​IMG])
    • Compressor ([​IMG]), and power to run it for 9 items (8 Coal Balls [​IMG], 1 Coal Chunk [​IMG])
    • Macerator ([​IMG]), and power to run it for 64 items (64 Coal [​IMG])
    Another way is to use uu-Matter. You can put 9 of them in a crafting grid and get diamonds. But uu-Matter isn't something you can get early one. You are definitively going to need nuclear energy or some other high tier energy for it. I'm also pretty sure that you can get gold with uu-Matter as well.

    It's possible to create custom world generators with Bukkit. The problem is how Bukkit will (if it even can) handle the ores from the mod(s).
