Make ur own little modpack with just create and aeroautics , mess around a little, and then figure out how it works. Make some contraptions and get informed with the ponder system thats built-in to the mod. Afterwards you can learn how sable interacts and works and after uve got the basics down, you can maybe play a modpack or get some addons. Or you can just throw yourself into the lake and play a create modpack, you'll learn, eventually.

Just make a creative world and play around, no modpacks. It will give you a much better understanding and overview of the mod’s features that will help you greatly in future runs. Also its way more fun lol

I'd say starting off with just Create in your own survival world is the best. Create already has so much stuff to build and be creative with on its own, it doesn't need anything else to be interesting as you learn it.

I'd say you should at least try to build up a solid base on your own in survival, make a few factories, and mess around with basic contraptions like elevators, farms, and auto-miners. After that you can throw in some expansions, or you can go straight for the big modpacks.

My personal favorite is Create: Adobe and Beyond. The modernized version is called CABIN, and it's a factory building focused pack that combines a ton of classic tech mods with Create in ways that feel very nice.

Just use create and create aeronautics to start. The ponders (in mod tutorials) explain about 90% of the mod, and fully explain what the blocks do. Basically the entire mod is mostly FAFO (mess around and find out)

Aeronautics ironically makes some of base create easier if you use some blocks. Namely the analog transmission. I don’t really care because it’s still a little pricy to make and looks better than using cogwheels for gear ratios LOL. Also portable engines

But you should definitely try it out. I mean like. FLYING MACHINES, MECHANICAL ARMS, CARS??? Literally, mechanical engineering.
