aight sorry i've been gone for a while
so time for some more lore -heh that rhymed-
Old Piping (copper ore)
the H.I.V.E.s, being supposedly able to house many people for extended periods of time, needed plumbing systems. These were made simply from copper pipes imbedded in the walls of some sections of the HIVE. Over time, most of the piping has corroded away making the plumbing systems useless, but still sections of exposed pipes can be found and re-used by the resoursefull explorer
Fuel Rods (uranium ore)
The HIVES, in their prime, experimented with many sources of energy to power all the machinery and keep everyone safe and happy inside. Their main source though, was from nuclear generators powered by uranium fuel rods. Although the reactors themselves failed and were destroyed without maintenence, one can still find extra fuel rods stored within the walls of the HIVES, even though they might need to be refined a bit after the years of being exposed to the elements.
Reinforced Alloy (reinforced stone/glass) Sadly, due to the huge expanse of the HIVES, the metal from which they were made was fairly cheap and weak, but some survivors have found that, if one alloys these weak metals with a mixture of other metals that were found readily in the HIVES, one can make a strong, resistant metal that can be used to make secure shelters or as blast doors/walls in the event of a huggatron invasion. Also, they found that , by mixing these alloys into common glass, they could actually have strong, solid windows to look out on the depressingly ruined world outside their nice safe bunkers.
Radioactive Stone(basalt)
no extra lore needed for this, please read the section for Radioactive Crater(volcano)
yep thats all i've got time for now, more lore coming soon
I've got some lore for some industrial items
Drill
Basically the fist model of the M.A.N. drill equipped with reinforced machinery and rechargeable batteries its extremely effective although its experimental MK II was more energy demanding considering the increased weight of the diamond drill head both models are extremely durable.
We'll, who said that they were meant to last forever? In the present day obviously all HIVES were opened and no functional and working one can be found.
One hasn't been found functional and working YET also that was a typo i meant they should sound like they would open at a certain time

Thanks Froman, Good to see you're still around
As long as you give credit you should be fine but you still should write Derek a pm about the that.
and don't forget to post your finished work here
I don't mean to sound rude but the lack of punctuation made your paragraph incomprehensible for me. Also if I'm informed correctly the textures for the drill aren't done yet, so we'll have to wait what Froman (or anyone else) makes out of it.
Great texture pack. Very inspiring. So inspiring, in fact, that I will be making an entire town just based off of the blocks and the lore provided. This is the short version of my town's fictional history:
"After The Event, the cracking of the moon due to a mining expedition, Earth's environment began to dillapidate. Freak tsunamis, hurricanes, and other weather events occured more frequently than could be reported. Resources began to become more and more scarce. Wars, especially those nuclear, broke out because of the race to attain these resources. Nuclear warheads direct towards Washington D.C. and New York were commonly diverted north. Rhode Island was the state heaviest hit by diverted missiles. The fires and explosions killed all wild life, and massive erosion occured, not just in beside the gigantic blast craters but throughout the entire state. The tsunami's and hurricanes helped to level the land. Rhode Island was than reffered to the nickname "Flatlands". Although the Flatlands were easy to travel through, they caused insanity in those who couldn't handle looking at a flat horizon all day, all night, all day, and all...the surviving residents of Rhode Island gathered at Providence, and using the materials they were able to dig up from the crude, fruitless dirt they engineered a new town. The return to civilization was successful, until the massive amounts of radiation caused half the residents of New Providence to mutate into repulsive, murdureous beings. Those not infected or mutated quickly took shelter in the town's bunker and lived off of the dwindling resources available from storage. Although the base was strong enough protect the residents from further nuclear explosions, radiations, and even The Lost, things such as insanity, anarchy, and canabalism were able to seep through the bunker's walls. All was lost, but the buildings still remain. Whether or not humanity returns, that town is a symbol of man's resilience against the horrors of our own kind."
I'll be making a full fledged adventure map, and will ask you later for permissions to release a customized version of this texture pack with it. All credit will be given to you, and I'll leave a link to this forum at the download page and in the README.txt. I hope I've been able to interest you, because the map will be 100 times more engaging. Thanks for making these awesome textures.
pmc is a great site for minecraft stuff like skins, texture packs, world saves, and servers. its also much easier to find things. (<-- that statement is actually very debatable)
I had figured that much. I was wondering why he asks us if he should post it there.
Man the thread is going slowly. Does no one have anything interesting to say? I for one could say that I would appreciate more feedback on my Last Days adventure map, but that's advertising and doesn't belong here
I would like to say that I love everyone that is a part of last days. We're like family now. a very spread out family.

scientist: "sir, we cant keep mining the moon like this. something is going to happen."
orbital industries adviser: that's history's business, not yours. now get back to your lab before we silence you."
scientist: "ok, ok, i was just worried tha-"*transmission lost*
adviser: "that what? are you still there? listen if you- *looks out window and into the sky* oh my god. the moon. what have we done."
(not really a lore entry,and come to think of it i never did read the lore page. just wanted to give you something relativity interesting)
sorry i haven't been active but it's that time of year and holidays are kinda eating up alot of time along with school, and any free time i've gotten i've put to my map but thats still slow coming.
Hi everyone! I'm still alive! Exams and such have been holding me back from posting. Sorry. :/ Anyways, I've just gone through the posts and I've got to say: Great job guys!
On the topic of PROVIDENC3's map, I really like the look of it and it seems awesome but with the "Washington DC and New York" bits of the story, perhaps you could say "two major cities" because both of those cities are very prominent in modern-day society and by not naming them, it makes the map more unspecific on locations, just like the texture pack!
I followed a portal into the nether and ended up somewhere in the wilderness and can't find my way back.
speaking of, does the lore have a way to explain this? maybe something along the lines that the portal technology is unstable and thus prone to miscalculating return coordinates
Huh? Normally portals work just fine for me, the problem was that some joker build a portal somewhere in the wilderness and a second portal too close to the first. I entered through the second one and when I tried to return I ended up in a snow biome.
What is that instability you're talking about?
myeh, it just hapens to me a lot, i build a nether portal under my base or something, and end up spawning out in the wilderness when i return to earth
Could you tell me the coordinates where we were building on the server? I followed a portal into the nether and ended up somewhere in the wilderness and can't find my way back.
You could die. /kill works in creative.

Alright so thaumcraft 3 is out now and i was thinking something along the lines of the wastelander researching alien technology and cracks in space time being the nodes.
any thoughts/help offered on what should be done.

Free time from what and nice tekkit textures

I was improvising and it seems logical
the geothermal generator, and pretty much all other thing with "generator" in the name are industrial craft
