Introduction | Tekkit 2

Tekkit 2 is a casual kitchen sink modpack on Minecraft 1.12.2, available on the Technic Launcher. It draws inspiration from Tekkit Classic and Tekkit Legends, with IndustrialCraft Classic, ProjectE, BuildCraft, Logistics Pipes, and ProjectRed at the core of its progression. Unlike Tekkit Legends, several features have been adjusted, including nerfs to ProjectE to create a more complex and rewarding gameplay experience. Galacticraft is also included, adding space exploration as an entirely new avenue of progression.

Tekkit 2 is a kitchen sink pack with no quest book, so progression is largely up to the player. One of the most effective early goals is to get into ProjectE and craft a Transmutation Table, then build an EMC farm to begin producing a wide variety of items automatically.

Due to ProjectE nerfs, far fewer items have EMC values than in Tekkit Legends, meaning more automated crafting is required. For autocrafting, ProjectRed Pipes and Logistics Pipes are both strong choices, which to use comes down to personal preference. Connecting an autocrafting setup to your EMC farm allows you to produce items that don't have EMC values themselves by crafting them from items that do, giving you an effectively unlimited supply.

ComputerCraft allows players to build automated systems using the Lua programming language. Computers and turtles can be programmed to interact with the world, move items, mine blocks, control redstone, and much more. A manual for Lua 5.4 covering basic syntax and modules can be found here. ComputerCraft also adds its own modules for interacting directly with in-game mechanics such as inventory management and peripheral devices.

Galacticraft adds space exploration to the game, including several new dimensions: the Moon, Mars, Venus, the Asteroid Belt, and player-built Space Stations. To reach these destinations, you'll need to construct and launch a rocket. Rockets come in three tiers, with higher tiers required to reach more distant planets. Each dimension offers unique resources, challenges, and structures to explore.

Forestry is centred around the breeding and genetic manipulation of three core organism types: bees, trees, and butterflies. Each naturally occurring species carries a set of genes, and breeding different species together produces new hybrids with unique traits and outputs. Mastering bee breeding in particular is a deep and rewarding progression path that can produce a wide range of materials.

Binnie's Mods, included as an addon for Forestry, adds flowers as a fourth organism type, introduces new species across all categories, provides tools for direct genetic modification, and adds a brewing system producing both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.
