BTW, I did also find a ic2 breeder reactor setup and a bunch of GT2 and AE1 automations all stuffed into what looked like a shipping container that is sitting right next to a nuclear power plant a week ago on the server, the only protection that breeder had is some cobblestone obscuring my view
I picked up GregTech: New Horizons last week and having a blast even though I haven’t even finished the stone age yet. The crafting is definitely brutal but not unfair like some other “expert mode” packs I’ve played, at least for now haha.
For now, I’m just taking over a walled village for a homebase until I learn more about what makes a good base location. Unfortunately, the inhabitants all committed mass suicide mob hugging party so I’m all alone :'(
SF3 was my first. People used to swear by SF4, as if it was better. I don’t understand that choice.
It took me two tries, but I did complete a whole SF4 world, all the achievements, too (aside from broken Twilight Forest ones). It was good, but I liked it less than any other I played, including Stoneblocks and the new SkyFactory One.
I like the Nuclear Craft more than most other big energy production mods, but SF4 has nothing to spend it all on. So, yeah, I made a max size fission and then fusion reactor, which is fun, but without Draconic Evolution or something to sap it away, it feels like it ended much sooner.
That and the linearity. Though with some packs it’s kinda preferable, I just guess it isn’t the SkyFactory way.
Interesting that you had a similar experience. I commend you finishing it. That is super impressive to me along with that many achievements.
Yeah, Draconic evolution is just such a fun high bar for an ending. You pointed out something else that I couldn’t quite put my finger on. That is that most of the mods feel standalone. Some do work together but it kind of feels like you move (generally) from one to the next without much interplay. In SF3 immersive engineering, extreme reactors, mystical agriculture, botania, and pretty much all others can grow and benefit from each other. I could takle a problem from 3 or 5 directions if I want.
Thank you for that comment it helped me connect more pieces.
I can’t say that you’re wrong. I feel almost exactly the same way. The trees are a tough hurdle.
I do go back occasionally. As much as I love variety, some mods in 3 are just too comfortable and I’ll lean on them and not really experience anything new.
I for sure get that some mods are too comfortable. I use some as a crutch. But also, sometimes I just want to play some skyfactory with little worry. I try to mess with at least a new mod each time I play through and it’s not a bad thing to get into the new stuff quickly.
I started a Crucial 2 server with friends last month and I still haven’t gotten bored. As a modpack conducive to roleplay and worldbuilding I’m very happy with it. That’s something I like about modded Minecraft - that even the same modpack can appeal to so many playstyles.
No, I always remember it being a forge mod, since the 1.15 days at least. Not sure what to tell you. Maybe they discussed Fabric but went with Forge in the early stages? Maybe you’re thinking of being frustrated with it not being a Fabric mod and having to install Forge? Maybe you’re thinking of another mod entirely?
I think it was originally on Forge based on my memory where I was disappointed after seeing the trailer and trying to play with it. I couldn’t though since I was using Fabric and didn’t want to use Forge.
Still Divine Journey 2. I made it to chapter 11. Its going slowly mostly because in the recent chapters recepies have gotten way more expensive which can be fixed by making automatic factories (as I like to call it) for important items which is fun but takes time. Also I got into this pack wanting to not put everything under the sun and make decent builds and those take a little bit of time as well. It may go even more slowly because I added ComouterCraft which the pack didn’t had mostly because I had cool ideas but coding the cool stuff takes a lot of time. I also took a break for 2 weeks in December because Rain World got me hooked.
I started playing Create: Prepare to Dye (Modrinth, CurseForge) which removes all survival elements from the game and has you focus on purely automation. You crash land on a unique looking planet devoid of resources and have to figure out how make everything from scratch using all-custom recipes, starting by making things from just milk.
There’s (funny) contracts that push you to discover how to make new resources and automate them, and they give you neat things in return. Many things can be made in a number of different ways, so it’s up to you to pick one, or decide when to move to a different recipe when it becomes available to you.
Everything is themed around dyes so instead of iron plates, you’ll see white plates. Instead of gold or brass ingots, you have yellow cubes. Copper is orange. Diamond is light blue. I’ve been very happy with the choice of mods used in this pack. Two essential ones are Create (obviously) but also Botania – the tech / automation mod everyone forgets about.
Addicted to Vault Hunters right now. It’s awesome! Also it’s more a game in itself and if you come in without any prior knowledge it will be hard. There is a quest book but it doesn’t cover everything.
It’s closer to games like diablo where 90% of the gameplay is looting dungeons (or vaults in this case). Which isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when people say RPG
One of my best friends 15yo brother got a PC for Christmas and has been wanting to play modded Minecraft for a long time. I set up an RLCraft server yesterday on my hosting PC and we’re going to dive into it this afternoon. He’s wanted to play this pack since he was 11 and claims he’s a really good Minecraft player but we’re definitely going to find out today lol. After we play this pack I’m hoping he and my friend will want to delve into some more traditional mod packs as neither has ever done modded Minecraft before. Wish us luck 🤞
RLCraft is definitely a modpack, ha. Don’t be afraid to change packs if you end up getting frustrated, since I’ve heard that unfair deaths are pretty common. You could also do stuff like turn KeepInventory on.
I played it back when it was really popular so I know what I’m getting into, not sure if they fully understand but that’s part of the fun. Definitely leaving keep inventory on.
Beautiful! Great to see trains in minecraft. I know it’s been done before, but Create does it while keeping in the spirit of the game by having you build it however you want in game.
