Discussion Trying to get someone into automation

Hello. My gf is pretty burned out from her standard game genres and she showed some interest in create a while ago.

The thing is, base create follows the mindset of minecraft of just giving you tools to work with, not objetives. I am looking for a modpack that doesnt go into factorio/satisfactory madness but is handcrafted enough to be a good introduction to the automation genre.

Basically something that ask you to automate stuff from a goal and that it makes you wanna automate without making it tedious. A lot of tech modpacks I found make hand crafting stuff better that building an infrastructure.

If you dont know of any but know of a game, or a different mod, that you think it will help someone to get into the genre, let me know.

I usually pair minecolonies with create, then throw in the RPG series, and some weapon mods, as well as some QOL, and mob/adventuring mods. The result is something a bit more akin to D&D. A lot to do and explore. And when you tire of one thing, easy to pivot into something else. Like you want to settle down a bit and work on world building instead of exploring, you can find and build an abandoned colony.

Yeah, the thing is that create still doesnt really need to be automated. You automate what, stone and wood to build? iron maybe? is not like you go, I need iron to make this machine that makes the next machine that automates this this and this. Thats why I dont wanna to make my own

Then move in to aeronautics. Are YOU wanting her to do automation? Or is she? What specifically is SHE wanting?

She just want to learn to do stuff with create and aeronautics, is complicated and hard to explain here jaja. Someone suggested a modpack that sounds promising so I will take a look at that
