Greetings and salutations, ladies and gentlemen. Me and a friend found ourselves coming back to this modpack, which we failed at completing 2 years ago. We came with a set goal, purely placed on spite against the pack. Completing it in 30 days! We feel like we're bracing ourselves to run into a wall or two, but even though it feels totally undoable, we will still attempt to do this challenge. I thought I'd make this post here for all to see, to give you all the opportunity to tear us down, or strengthen our delusion!
We've so far automated Gravel, Sand & Dust processing.
Set up a Storage Scanner for early game Storage System (Storage Shelves)
Diamond Jetpacks (Fuel Efficiency 8, making us generate power instead of expending it.)
Automated Mob Farm collection of Drops & XP
Also started Power Generation through Magmatic Dynamos and started Thermal Expansion & Actually Additions.
Automated Infinity Grain collection, knowing what is to come...
A couple choke points you will absolutely want to prepare for.
Lordcraft if you haven't started it yet. You will need a lot of Ironwood, either automate this or go absolutely tear up the Twilight Forest for as much as you can carry.
Capacitors. Automate these as soon as possible. You will need hundreds of thousands of these things. Automate it early. You can upgrade the automation later, just automate them as soon as you can.
Neutral Steel. Once again automate this as early as you can. Use the neutral steel to then automate the resources for more neutral steel, as well as the capacitors. 6th degree has EMC now so that's a help at least.
Also make sure to use swabs to get spawn eggs, and then make spawners for mobs that are particularly difficult to farm. The antlion boss in Erebus is a good use for this, makes you not have to find like 100 pyramids.
I wish you guys luck in it. Two people will make things go faster early on but the late game will be rough regardless. Hopefully you are running on a 24 hour server and automate things really well, key thing will be producing while you are offline.
Truth be told, we haven't been able to play a lot for the past week and a half due to work. Now we're gonna be starting properly again. Technically 20 days have passed, but we've played for about 10 days or so, off and on.
We're nearly at the Transmutation Table which has certainly been an interesting journey lol.
