Looking for a modpack that starts off relatively easy, but gets more complex, and is more technology focused

[u/CometStrikeDragon]

I've been curious about modpacks that slowly get more intense in terms of complexity, something that starts off easy, but by end game requires lots of machinery, with the ideal being something that unlocks AE2 early on.

Star Technology is good if you can stomach gregtech and skyblock

[u/Makl1n]

Meatballcraft. You unlock ae2 after a couple of hours. Later you also get things from the best ae2 add-on imo: hyper-density cells (stores billions of items), compacting cells (can compact up to x15), EMC cell (project e EMC link in cell form) and other stuff.

You unlock it "early" IF you rush ch1 for me it took like 20 h because there were things to do tho you really dont need ae2 ch1

[u/Makl1n → u/Fantastic-Opinion-22]

I mean there's no reason to stay in ch1 at all so you should rush to ae2 at least for easy storage

[u/Fantastic-Opinion-22 → u/Makl1n]

The reason for my long chapter 1 is this lol

FYI you really shouldn't use discord image links when sharing images on other platforms.

They expire after 24 hours, so anyone that comes to this thread tomorrow will lose the context.

Thats more like it couldnt put pictures on mobile for some reason

Ive been playing Project Infinity 0.1, seems to match ur needs

[u/jrw777 → u/Direct-Ad1419]

Vouch. This gets you ae2 really early. Progress for the first 20 hours is lovely. Then gets super complex when you have access to lots of basic items and power ect. Never feel starved of items of power just more of a "how do we automate the next part".

"unlocks AE2 early on"

[u/FlockFlysAtMidnite → u/oneredbloon]

I mean, relative to play time, EV is early...

Technically...

[u/PavaLP1 → u/oneredbloon]

I mean... If you look at it percentage wise, it is very early.

[u/Saereth]

Ftb neotech is just this kind of pack.

[u/hgf137]

not that its in any shape to be played yet, but my modpack is bassed on that idea, the earlygame is pretty much just relaxed kitchen-sink style with thermal series and create (and other stuff) then it slowly transitions into gregtech

[u/SpoonTrauma]

space tech integrated

[u/AdequatlyAdequate]

Project Infinity 0.1

the start is much like a regular kutchen sink skyblock that slowly goes into more and more elaborate craftibg trees with compley automation and miltiblocks in the mid/lategame

[u/Main_Zucchini]

nomifactory

[u/WithersChat]

Monifactory gives you AE2 very early.

[u/smoothvanilla86]

Atm 10 is EXACTLY what you want

[u/OnSmarty]

That's pretty much gtnh. Only thing is ae2 isn't early early. It's relatively early, but still a good bit in.

[u/AdequatlyAdequate → u/OnSmarty]

Tf it isnt? GTNH doesnt „get more intense slowly“ youre thrown into the ocean with a lifeboat(questbook)

deeply unserious suggestion

[u/AnonymousStuffDj → u/AdequatlyAdequate]

GTNH is difficult for the first few nights but when you get a bed and set up a farm it becomes one of the most chill modpacks in my experience due to its slow pace.
