The First Few Days in the New Tekkit Classic Server

I'm sure for those who are aware, we had to reset the Tekkit Classic Server back in June after someone griefed it. That was a given since we weren't exactly used to the Towny plugin and I am, and still, an amateur at Minecraft Permission plugins. With a bit of research we set up the server again, new world, no griefing and with the requirement of having to been trusted to use things like nukes or EE2 items. With that said, I believe we're up for a renaissance at least for the server!

The First 3 Days

The first day, I decided that, as you can see in the image, to find an island. I wanted something isolated... especially after what happened to the last world the server had. The plan is to turn this isolated, tiny island into something liveable. Unfortunately, I quickly found out that food tends to be quite short on an island along with resources too.

Otherwise than that, going underground had given us enough resources to turn towards sustainability on the island without having to worry about future potential griefers. By the end of the first day I have managed to construct a small farm, a tree farm and craft the Philosopher's Stone.
