This modpack was 5 months in the works. It is a tech-centered modpack with a technology tree, focus in progression and hundreds of changed (harder) recipes. This is achieved by gating progression by several blocks and items leading to the next age. The pack is divided in 15 ages, reaching the next age is awarded with an achievement and a trophy you can place. What you can do and have to do in each age to progress and reach the next age is covered in a guide (from FTB Utilities, just click the book in the top left corner).
The goal of the pack is to give a longer lasting experience than other packs, also giving the challenge to automate almost everything. It also features several lesser known mechanics from well-known mods or you have to tackle some well-known problems in a different manner as you lack either some blocks/items you would normally have or they are just too expensive at that stage of the game, the problems mostly how to automate this task or how to generate more power with the ressources I have.
This pack is heavily inspired from FTB Infinity Expert Mode, but is still very different in many ways. The goal was also to not make the recipes harder to just make them harder, but also make sense and balance recipes when two or more mods offer a different solution to a problem.
This modpack is aimed at more experienced players to look for a new challenge, but can also work for semi-experienced players who like tech mods and want to learn more about them and don't mind the challenge.
I will not provide server files as you can setup a normal Forge server and copy the mods, config, resources and scripts folders to the server (from the client not from the zip from curseforge).

you know what would be really amazing? a pack just like this but for magic mods
Um im pretty late i know but i have a problem trying to play the modpack. Everytime i launch minecraft it says i have to use forge 12.18.3.2422 or above but even when i try using that version it crashes and i dont know why. Please help
In reply to c3nd0lpu1ut:
Which launcher do you use? If you use the Twitch Launcher or MultiMC it automatically comes with the correct version (which should be 12.18.3.2511 if I see this right)
In reply to davqvist:
I downloaded from twitch and use Tlauncher for minecraft. I got everything correct. Now another problem appears. First, basemetals requires drcyano ore spawn mod to fumction what should i do about it? Second, i checked the crash report and it said something along the lines of
mysticalagriculture: tier1_inferium_seeds is not a valid string.
Is this normal or what?
In reply to c3nd0lpu1ut:
Are you sure you are having the correct pack? Mystical Agriculture is not even in the pack.
And basemetals requiring drcyano ore spawn is disabled in the config.
Can i make a unofficial version of the modpack?
In reply to IdotMaster1:
Not sure what you mean with that but you can not use the "Age of Engineering" name, sorry. But you can make a modpack inspired by it.
A friend and me have been trying to play together Age of Engineering, but we have no idea on how to do that, can you please tell me if there's a way to play online with the mod?
I'm having trouble launching AoE. I get this error when trying to launch in the Minecraft Launcher with the last stable version of AoE mod for Java Edition.

Look in the comments here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/dwemfe/error_launching_the_game_failed/
There is a solution that might work for you. In any case, if you use MultiMC for example it should work too.
I'm a bit late to the party and only started playing this the other day, but I think I'm having some issues with the calculator mod.
As hard as I try I cannot get any of the machines that create damaged or reassembled circuits to input/output contents to chests or their sequential machines. I've tried with transfer nodes and ender io conduits, with and without the machines transfer upgrade, however, nothing seems to work.
It's making it really hard to progress past the atomic age as I can't automate anything, does anyone know a fix?
In reply to DarthJazza169:
You have to configure the output side to the correct color (see the outlined color of the slot in the GUI of the machines) with the Wrench from Calculator (I think it is called PA Wrench).

I am an idiot, Thank you so much
Im wondering if someone could help me get this to install. The problem is an out of disk space error but its not on my side, I have more than enough space and other packs install. The directory it gives is not on my side. Here is the error message incase it helps a bit.

I also tried to install this on atlauncher and I will paste the error at the end of this note.
I assume there is one of two problems there is a server issue, or there is an issue with the file. There does not seem to be a way to download the file either.
Can anyone assist.
Here is the log from the atlauncher error.

In reply to sjgold:
I assume you have a Mac, use 1.1.1c which doesn't have the mac incompability. Sorry for the inconvenience.
In reply to davqvist:
That allowed me to download and install when is the mod going to see an update without the issue effecting the mac.

Edit: is it betther tahn sevtech ages and the others? is it on the number 10# list? does it have easy quests? is it easy and short to get the first pieces of beginning? and any other info?
