This modpack is meant to allow players to focus on building contraptions using Create, CC: Tweaked, and Botania, among others, without mods like Refined Storage or Mystical Agriculture trivializing the majority of the content.
Several Vanilla+ mods like Quark and Farmer's Delight provide players with slight changes to normal gameplay without going overboard.
It is not supposed to be a difficult pack, with mods like Apotheosis and Artifacts helping speed progress through early and midgame. It is, however, supposed to make you think a little bit by the time you hit endgame, which might be a different stage for everyone. It is what you make of it.
