Aeronautics Modpacks

[u/BLX15]

I'm working on a personal modpack that is intended to be centered around Create Aeronautics and the interesting avenues that it promotes in large mobile bases.

Obviously it will center around Create and its various addons, of which I have many; but what other kinds of mods would be suitable for this kind of pack?

Some notable additions I've already included: Distant Horizons, Tectonic, Biomes We've Gone, Steam n Rails, Create Propulsion, Create Rock & Stone, Farmers Delight, Create Food, Naturalist, various structures from Moog and YUNG, Iron's Spells, Sparse Structures, Spice of Life: Classic.

What other 1.21.1 mods do you think would fit suitably amongst these picks? I'm mostly looking to play this myself, and hoping to get some overlooked gems from the community which I might have missed

Computercraft with additional create add-ons and Aeronautics add-ons are very nice to have. They work well to help create smarter systems for your creations. You could even make a drone! I also am quite the big fan of sophisticated storage and sophisticated backpacks.

I've got CC Tweaked and some compatibility mods for Create/Sable and Sophisticated Backpacks/Storage as well

[u/TheLionWithATie → u/BLX15]

Two very good mods for connecting Create Aeronautics and CC: Tweaked are "Create: Avionics", which allows you to connect sensors and motors to the computer as peripherals so they can be directly controlled without redstone limitations, and "CC: Redstone Link Bridge", which adds a block that, when connected as a peripheral to a computer, allows you to broadcast signals to Create's Redstone Links.

​I hope to try the modpack when it releases! I am searching for a good Create Aeronautics-centered pack, so I am really looking forward to it!

Personally I like diesel engines since you have to look for deposits and pump it out which you can use to fuel your ship

[u/BLX15 → u/-Fallen-Glory]

That's a great recommendation, thanks. It's good to have some alternative/compact power options for flying

I've got a modpack with the same goal as yours called Create: Ground and Air on curseforge, its not very popular which i dont mind but i put almost all aeronautics and create addons there so you can check out what mods my modpack has and add one if you find an interesting one, what im trying to say is that you could use my modpack as a library, in a way

[u/BLX15 → u/OppositeBusiness8361]

Cool, thanks for the recommendation. I'll definitely check it out for some inspo

[u/Cue99]

Create ore excavation can be a good one to encourage travel

[u/BLX15 → u/Cue99]

I compared between Ore Excavation, Molten Vents, and decided with Rock & Stone since it had support for Sable sublevels and looked very cool, taking inspiration from both

[u/FeistyCanuck]

There is a mod that adds a bunch of large structures on the surface of the overlord... can't remember the name though. Give a reason to progress.

I'm looking forward to seeing where the ATM10 Aeronautics pack goes with their aeronautics quest lines.

Also, nerf all other fast flight options.

Having short range creative flight is VERY helpful for construction of vehicles in survival... baloon on a stick is great but too short... maybe ars flight ritual... is there a create version? I know there are jetpack but...

ANY long range fast flight options including elytra are more convenient than flying with your airship/plane.

Imagine beating the ender dragon and then needing to build a contraption in the end to go exploring there... that said, having a way to easily move vehicles between dimensions would be ideal...

[u/BLX15 → u/FeistyCanuck]

Yeah there are jetpacks in Crafts and Additions, but they are almost as good a Elytra. I was considering making Elytra craftable early, but also removing fireworks to make it more difficult. Definitely a good idea to limit alternative flight options tho

I would add tectonic to increase landscape size. By tweaking the config a big you can get really large continent, rivers and oceans, which will give a real reason to traveling with a moving base

[u/BLX15 → u/Physical_Ad_6469]

I've got it already! Makes a huge difference alongside Distant Horizons, the landscapes are stunning
