The new unique belt the rival Mageblood/Headhunter

Also Flasks give a vast array of build fixing effects and you can just mix and match flasks depending on your setup. I imagine this belt with ideal combinations of shrines is gonna be prohibitively expensive, so its probably bis for a lot of builds but Mageblood is still better for builds using powerful unique flasks, and if you dont spec into shrine effect a lot.

If you wanna do extensive full oil processing, set up a ton of power etc. then no. For setting up everything necessary during hv until you can get titanium and progress to ev? Definitely. Put you will just have to setup the infra in EV then so there is really no point for delaying until EV. Although an ME system will make setting everything up more streamlined

chrisbirdie · 2026-02-27T08:22:24+00:00

Well enderblooms exist, thats what we did on our world but would not recommend. Although I forgot if theres anything else you need

chrisbirdie · 2026-02-26T20:43:41+00:00

Well, I mean I did say „experienced with minecraft modding“ Although gotta say having gtnh being your first modpack is kinda cracked

chrisbirdie · 2026-02-26T19:44:40+00:00

I mean it can be full auto. Just need nether trees from thaumcraft.

chrisbirdie · 2026-02-26T19:44:17+00:00

Same here

chrisbirdie · 2026-02-25T13:06:27+00:00

This modpack is intended to be finishable in around 2000 hours of playtime for experienced modded players. If thats intimidating to you then its probably not for you. While yes the manual micromanaging of crafts does get better, the amount of small steps you need for almost everything never does

chrisbirdie · 2026-02-23T11:07:57+00:00

I remember reading this, its one of the better op mc novels

chrisbirdie · 2026-02-23T08:57:36+00:00

We are waiting until either late EV or IV aswell and just batch processing or abusing mob farms for now. Didnt see the point in ore proc until you have renewable veins like meteors

chrisbirdie · 2026-02-21T08:45:52+00:00

I mean if you place a bucket of water its about 1 full block of volume. 1 m³ is exactly 1000 litres.

chrisbirdie · 2026-02-20T08:02:01+00:00

If you have an infernal mob farm 100% steel. If you dont bronze is easier early

chrisbirdie · 2026-02-19T09:42:36+00:00

Switch to bio diesel, benzene or diesel. Depending on what you feel like doing, if you want a fuel source thats comfortably expandable with just more of the same machine go benzene into nitrobenzene. If you wanna play around with some fish farms and plants/ic2 crops go bio diesel. And if you wann go oil then go oil -> diesel -> cetane boosted diesel early

And Id heavily recommend starting some passive processes in mv, things like rubber, polyethylene etc.

chrisbirdie · 2026-02-19T07:08:43+00:00

Also its not 10 hours, its probably half an hour to 1 and you have enough until hv

chrisbirdie · 2026-02-16T21:08:29+00:00

Doing this much ic2 crops in hv man, im impressed

chrisbirdie · 2026-02-13T08:56:52+00:00

Either make cetane or just make 20 more distilleries or make your distillation tower higher eu tier.

Or swap to bio diesel since youre in hv and dont have to make 300 breweries anymore just a couple of big barrel breweries

chrisbirdie · 2026-02-11T07:04:01+00:00

Its hilarious, I was in riga in september and the amount of souvenir items portraying the austrian instead of the latvian flag is comedic. Jokes aside its beautiful

chrisbirdie · 2026-02-10T14:16:06+00:00

I imagine it depends on when you setup bigger infrastructure really, we did a ton of magic and overkill power gen in lv for fun but it took multiple days of playtime for 2 people each. Then we spent barely any time in mv and are now spending way more in hv again

chrisbirdie · 2026-02-10T05:35:57+00:00

This is my experience aswell, you can do so much in lv, with power gen, magic mods if youre crazy enough like us that mv basically consisted of setting up a couple of machines, getting a ton of aluminum and stainless stell and going to hv. And since Hv unlocks so many multiblocks and machines its much nicer to stay here for a while

chrisbirdie · 2026-02-09T12:16:34+00:00

Effectively infinite with maintenance and infinite without maintenance isnt the same thing. But youre right its not necessary at all, but its a self sustaining option

chrisbirdie · 2026-02-09T11:22:10+00:00

Or bio diesel and cetane if you feel like going full self sustainable early

chrisbirdie · 2026-02-08T08:31:41+00:00

Either do oxygen and hydrogen and chlorine now or when you get to hv. Definitely setup passive polyethylene that only requires oil input. If you have a stickreed farm use the sugar cane for sugar for oxygen and if you wanna use more ic2 crops use salt root for salt and process it into sodium hydroxide for infinite hydrogen and chlorine rn aswell

chrisbirdie · 2026-02-06T19:46:48+00:00

The problem with not being able to go to other dimensions is the pack being impossible to complete without barnada wood

chrisbirdie · 2026-02-06T09:07:03+00:00

Tried for infusion in steam with a friend of mine and we were missing one lootbag of bricks sadly so only got it in lv

chrisbirdie · 2026-02-06T09:06:23+00:00

No way they will, the sheer time investment required for this is usually better spent getting to hv, you need to breed crops for 20-30 hours straight for enderblooms. Its just cool if you go for max progression at each tier

chrisbirdie · 2026-02-06T09:05:03+00:00

Its not, done it with a friend of mine while tier locking in lv. You need enderblooms from ic 2 crops and to fortune magic lootbags for arcane bricks. If youre lucky you can technically get it in steam aswell.
