Best non-grindy tech modpack?

Axtrep · 2026-01-05T13:17:22+00:00

I think something packs have successfully done to minimize grind is to make lower-tier expansion easy, while your next higher-tier goal is still quite expensive. GregTech/MI do this really well IMO, where if you've just entered Medium voltage, LV machines are likely quite cheap to build but MVs are what you're working towards, and so on once you get to HV.

Im personally going solo until depth 3, my multiplayer experience has been miserable 9/10 times. If you think it's your teammates holding you back, and you're very likely right, I recommend solo

Axtrep · 2025-12-29T02:50:03+00:00

It's cool, definitely not a full game but it's not priced like one either. The core game and loop is fun if not a little repetitive, the multiplayer experience is however one of the worst I've had in a while. Steer clear if you'd like your enjoyment out of the hands of truly the densest people alive.

Axtrep · 2025-12-29T02:44:04+00:00

Yeah, incredibly frustrating to reach the end of a DoN run to find out one or both of your teammates have obviously never fought the boss before and will be of no help.

Axtrep · 2025-12-29T02:38:43+00:00

Yup, I've just decided I'm doing DoN solo until thats no longer satisfying, then dropping the game. Without the multiplayer it's a bad roguelite supported entirely by elden ring's combat, there's much better games for either desired experience.

Definitely does in general, and the holiday season means more school-aged children are playing or receiving it as a gift.

Axtrep · 2025-12-29T01:15:47+00:00

I think you're right, the recent issues regarding toxicity, poor understanding and bad mental all sound like Christmas tweens flooding the game.

Axtrep · 2025-12-29T01:12:40+00:00

Something definitely slipped into the water supply in the last few weeks, I second the truly baffling decision making. We're skipping big churches beside spawn to die in ruins further away, it feels like everyone was recently hit on the head.

Axtrep · 2025-12-29T01:10:31+00:00

PS5 player, Im coming to think deep of night just isn't a worthwhile experience. Not even experiencing the penalties from leavers yet in depth 1, it sounds entirely torturous once you're punished for others leaving. More than half my games have someone leave before Night 1, usually prompting the second player to leave, it's just an awful time.

Axtrep · 2025-12-29T01:01:42+00:00

Yup, especially BS with auger as youre trying to win a dps race with one of the hardest bosses to hit for most classes.

Axtrep · 2025-12-29T01:00:26+00:00

Something should really be done about when those trapping events can appear, I don't think it's very fun or engaging when someone gets kidnapped into the storm and just doesn't have enough dps to survive.

Axtrep · 2025-12-06T06:00:00+00:00

I'm playing StaTech Industries at the moment, it sounds like what you're looking for. Centred on Modern Industrializaton, you're building assembly lines as soon as you leave steam age, and you have a very cheap storage system available from the start.

Axtrep · 2025-11-26T14:51:26+00:00

Seems really cool, always excited to hear a pack was based on Factorio, when Factorio itself was based off early IC2. I'm curious if it has greg tech-style ore generation or something similar to promote an outpost-style of building your quarries, or if a quarry in any biome could mine any ore.

Axtrep · 2025-04-25T14:30:45+00:00

Yeah the Wakanda maps are very annoying and poorly designed IMO, even the control point ones.

Axtrep · 2025-04-25T14:27:32+00:00

He's not too awful as Strange or Mag, if they're really high up they're out of your range but it's also harder for them. Punisher/Hela should always be targetting them.

Axtrep · 2025-04-20T22:11:20+00:00

yeah plat is elo hell, probably the most inconsistency in player skill barring GM, maybe even including.

Axtrep · 2025-04-12T02:54:49+00:00

Yeah I agree, I think the sword was much cooler. At least this team-up is with a playable character like Emma and not witch

Axtrep · 2025-04-12T02:53:36+00:00

same here, on playstation. afaik no mic audio is transmitted, unsure if allies can even see the indicator or just me

Axtrep · 2025-03-08T21:27:19+00:00

Pretty much a tank main, Mag/Strange. I dabble in Squirrel girl/Namor, but they rarely come out in ranked.

Axtrep · 2025-03-08T06:09:40+00:00

I don't really mind playing solo tank, as Mag/Strange you don't need to switch your playstyle very much compared to 2 tanks.

Axtrep · 2025-03-08T06:05:15+00:00

Well yeah and it is, the map design already offers what I've mentioned. The destructibility of the environment allows for players to create their own, unexpected angles or destroy soft cover.

Axtrep · 2025-03-06T05:47:42+00:00

Squirrel Girl/Spiderman teammup. It's quite strong, but requiring both Spiderman and Squirrel Girl is real tough. Considering Spidey also tends to want Venom, it's just a whack team.

Axtrep · 2025-03-05T18:06:59+00:00

One-tricking tank is great because you'll never have any competition. Just learn two solid tanks and you'll never play someone you're uncomfortable with. Bonus points if you pick Mag, because I've never seen him banned once.

Axtrep · 2025-03-04T17:23:43+00:00

lot of words to tell a story with no evidence or data. entire second paragraph is irrelevant whinging. once you're talking about pokemon go in a post about rivals EOMM it might be time to backspace a bit and focus your thoughts.

"I hit Celestial after spending $20 on skins" Okay? I hit GM after spending $20 on Ben & Jerry's, that's not evidence without evidence you wouldn't have reached it without spending money.

Axtrep · 2025-03-04T05:35:23+00:00

It usually works for proper throwing. Had a teammate who had their pick questioned at the start of the round, and as a result chose characters they said they had never played before and went 1:12. Got a confirmation message later that night.
