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!

Define Cute (choose 1): A) Creepers Aerbunnies C) Herobrine. If you chose A): You appeal to destruction and to stereotypes. If you chose B): You are a perfectly normal person, and enjoy the Aether Mod. If you chose C): Please leave the planet now before you set off a nuclear warhead--no one enjoys mass murders, however nice they might seem to you.
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.
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.

I have a vanilla server that I'm looking for people for. If you're looking for a vanilla server PM me and I'll give you the server information. Before you do, however, please download Hamachi as it'll be necessary to connect.
A bunch of people are crashing, getting error reports, or are only being able to use the gears and wrench.

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...
Can i have some help my in game name is:baywee
i got jailed for pvping Garret.... i killed him once and its a pvp server i do not beilve hes aloud to jail me for killing him............
please unjail me and demote garret hes not a good mod he jailed me for killing him thats not aloud!!! please tell him not to do that........
I tried buildcraft a while back, but found it rather pointless. The quarries cost so much to set up but recoup very little in the way of valuable resources. It's quicker and easier to just mine it all by hand, and you don't end up with huge ugly holes all over the landscape. The whole oil thing is purely self-serving; the only real use for oil is to refine it to fuel for combustion engines, but combustion engines are really only necessary for refineries. Everything else works just fine with any of the other engines. Overall, most of the stuff in Buildcraft is only useful for other stuff in Buildcraft.
lol, never figured out how much energy a quarries can use if you want them to go fast? Two combustion eng powered by fuel is 10 a tick, quarries will use 9 a tick if you give them alot of power. If you set up for 6-8 quarries you will have more mats then you know what to do with rolling in.
ugly holes? lol, cover them up with a filler, duh.
"Overall, most of the stuff in Buildcraft is only useful for other stuff in Buildcraft."
uh, what? of the oil and power power stuff from this mod? how is that unlike every other industry mod?
btw, super pro tip: if quarries are to slow for you, and you want to mine manually faster, use a filler in clear mode.

Well if this toy is too complicated for you that's too bad, but it doesn't make it a bad mod.

TechnicPack is cool an all, for plebs that can't figure out how to mod there own game. I run a custom server with this mod list:
Rp2, ic2, buildcraft, foresty, railcraft, ironchest, nei, wireless redstone, enderstorage, additional buildcraft objects, additionalpipes, neatherrocks, nuclear control and LCtress++
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.
I find this strange as the ic2 stuff looks low texture res to me. Though I do enjoy the sounds but they sometimes bug out on my bukkit smp version anyways

There are not related. Save that they are compatible and both industry mods, well ic almost is.
