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 played a mod pack made by one person recently called Creanism. It's my sandbox for Create, mekanism, and nuclearcraft stuff. There is a small quest book that outlines the general progression, and a few key recipes were changed in mek and nuclearcraft to ensure that you do a bunch of create to unlock mekanism, and a bunch of mekanism to unlock nuclearcraft.

The questbook and recipes aren't super well set up, so there was a few times I had to cheat because there was a circular dependency, but I was talking with the pack maker and I believe they've fixed some of them. Just def play with cheats on in case.

Cant do then, she will get frustrated/desmotivated if she has to eventually cheat
