This week, we take a look at SpaceToad's "Buildcraft" Mod, a fairly complex, yet highly satisfying advanced structure and mechanism mod. Create everything from a simple mining operation to automated factories and self-assembling cities, and more - check it out!

________

"You Are Minecraft" Grows!

Some time ago, we talked about the "You Are Minecraft" project, where players can join a server populated by thousands of to-scale avatar statues, and build one of their own. Recently, YAM has cleared 50 thousand users, and nearly as many fully-completed player statues!

Still haven't built a statue of your own avatar yet? Now might be a good time - check out this link for details!

Couldn't get it to work with 1.2.5, tried different versions of files, with and without ModloaderMP, etc. Its a mess, don't bother.

On the other hand, there is a bukkit server that is easy to get going as downloading two files, sticking them in a folder and a mods subfolder and doubleclicking. Pity you can't even stop it running without killing from the task manager.

Looks good, but you'll drive yourself insane getting it to work.

once again Spotloight the little guy buildcraft is well known as a great mod and mainly better in multiplayer for singleplayer its so overwhelming that spacetoad had a book published just for the recipes.

Lols, Krapht and SirSengir maintain Buildcraft now, fail forums !

On the other hand, it really is about time buildcraft was put forth, It deserves more respect than I think it gets!

I think that next, sacheverell should do a spotlight for one of these mods:

-Redpower
-Equivalent Exchange
-Better than Wolves
-IC2

Quote from FreePlayer42

Redstone engines, when red, don't explode. Red is the optimal color for redstone engines only. Otherwise, for combustion or steam engines, either turn the engine off or run for cover. I've made the same mistake myself concerning these redstone engines

Just don't "stack" redstone engines (ie a redstone engine pumping into another redstone engine). That will result in power overload for the engine being pumped into.

Quote from Kenja_Ansem

1 question actually, is Industrialcraft an addon on Buildcraft or the other way around ?

No, it's a seperate mod.

Buildcraft seems to be more about pumps and pipes and stuff. IC2 is more about electricity.
IndustrialCraft² is more pleasing to the eye if you ask me. But that's just my view.

They both use Forge, though, so there's no doubting that they're compatible. You can run them side by side. In fact, there are some additional mods out there that can convert BC and IC2 power from one to the other.

"...automated factories and self-assembling cities..." Huh, sounds a bit like the industrial mod. So it basically....plays minecraft for you? Sounds pointless, made complicated. >.>

Could somebody here give me an explanation on how to install buildcraft? Also, don't tell me to go watch a video by spacetoad, I can barely understand the guy and his method doesn't work for me.

I have Windows 7, I have my Modloader, ModloaderMP, and Minefore (or whatever it's called) installed, I just need to know what I need to name that text file to go along with the auto installer.

A bunch of people are crashing, getting error reports, or are only being able to use the gears and wrench.

DELETE THIS THREAD NOW BEFORE YOUR REPUTATION IS RUINED!!!

I've used this mod a lot and it comes to very good use! it is very fun to mess with and you can build so many cool contraptions with the added block, items, and features. I would diffidently recommend checking it out for anyone who loves redstone and mechanics.

Personally, I think that buildcraft is incomplete without RedPower2, IndustrialCraft² , Forestry, & ComputerCraft.
Thank god for the people who made/make TechnicPack

I really don't think build-craft is that good a mod, its poorly documented it adds an entirely new concept to the game but doesn't teach the user in any way how to use it...

Maybe, Minecraft should have a sort of Technology Update similar to Buildcraft. That would make my dreams come true
