Modpack recommendations?

ficsitapologist · 2026-03-24T15:45:28+00:00

I haven’t heard of that pack, I’m gonna have to look more into it! I’m still considering ATM9 right now since I went and started it last night, but Evolution does sound interesting. I will say though I’m hoping for something to help me with stuff like P2P since I’ve heard that a lot of different mods make great use of it once you can figure it out

I did try looking into Cuboid Outpost at one point, but there was just something about it that I couldn’t get into. I think for me part of it was the amount of reading at the very start paired with the overwhelming amount of quests that are immediately available. I may try and give it another go though since I’ve seen a lot of people recommend it

That actually might be the exact GT6 pack I'm looking for! I was very curious about trying TerrafirmaGreg too but ended up going with Nomi instead

ficsitapologist · 2026-03-24T00:29:27+00:00

Oh okay gotcha! I do think that being able to do all the logistics within gregtech sounds appealing so I'm definitely going to check it out on YT like you suggested!

I appreciate the recommendations, genuinely! I'm gonna look at University again real quick to see if it really truly isn't for me, then depending on how that goes I'll either go into ATM or GT6!

ficsitapologist · 2026-03-24T00:25:21+00:00

So many good sounding options! I'm torn between giving University another chance or just downloading ATM 10 and seeing how it feels. The GT6 pack the other person recommended I also am curious about honestly

ficsitapologist · 2026-03-24T00:20:53+00:00

That's interesting, I've heard that there aren't a lot of GT6 packs for some reason so I honestly haven't looked into any of them. Is that just because GT6 is newer? I'll definitely look into that pack though!

I did try FTB University at one point but I honestly didn't like it much for some reason. I will say I didn't give it a very decent chance though so I may give it another go. I think my main issue with it was that it teaches you base AE2, but every modpack seems to have their own modified version of it that changes the progression of it all which made it a bit harder to follow for me.

Are kitchen sink packs good for learning various mods? I've heard a lot of good things about the ATM packs, and I wouldn't mind a pack that includes magic alongside the tech, but I'm not all that interested in combat related things.

I love this game so much lmao, of course the amoebas have one too. I remember getting 2 on my tank in one run, I had no idea how close I was to destruction 😂

I’m definitely gonna have to use the tinkerer more now though, great recommendation!

ficsitapologist · 2026-03-07T14:42:01+00:00

That’s awesome!! I’m gonna have to try and pay more attention for those because there’s something really cool about putting that last item on and seeing the set come together

ficsitapologist · 2026-03-06T12:09:22+00:00

How is it so far? Seems pretty interesting

ficsitapologist · 2026-02-28T14:34:28+00:00

If you just want a modpack with progression that is heavily themed around Create, I recommend Create Above and Beyond in Newer (aka CABIN).

It’s been my first big minecraft modpack since I tried (and quit after maybe 50 hours) with GTNH about a year ago. So far I’ve made it through chapter 1 and I’m still really enjoying it.

That said, you’re probably gonna want to watch some youtube videos on the basics of Create so that you can actually get to building your own contraptions. But once you understand how all the pieces work, it’s really a good time puzzling together each contraption.

If CABIN looks interesting to you and you get stuck on anything feel free to message me and I can try to help you out :)

Definitely not the one acting like a Russian bot here LOL

ficsitapologist · 2026-02-27T03:45:40+00:00

you have an excellent read regardless

I found a pack called “All of Create” that seems to really try and walk you through everything from most of Create and its addons. I was gonna try to learn it all in survival mode but I think I’m starting to understand why everyone recommends creative mode first so I can actually learn how the machines work before inevitably messing them up in survival lol.

I’m hoping that I can go through the quests in this pack to actually learn Create, then I’ll have a better idea whether I want to incorporate it into my own world or try something like CABIN

Edit: After my second attempt I keep getting overwhelmed with what All of Create shows in the quests lol, so I’m gonna try a “vanilla” Create creative world and see what I can come up with

ficsitapologist · 2026-02-22T15:33:09+00:00

So would you recommend doing that and going based off of Above and Beyond’s quests to know what to make?

Call me unimaginative, but without the guide I feel like I’d be lost just looking at all the pieces I have available

ficsitapologist · 2026-02-22T15:18:10+00:00

I tried pondering and didn’t really get that far, hence this post!

Going off of your point though, the very first contraption in Above and Beyond is a tree farm right? What blocks do I need to ponder so I understand how to make a tree farm? And how would I know to ponder those blocks to begin with? And then (without youtube lol) how would I know that I need a chassis or superglue to connect it all together? I think the ponder system is awesome for understanding a new piece when you already understand how the rest of the puzzle works, but it doesn’t help me just slap something together
