Keeping it simple, Ellis attempts to use gems like Minecolonies, Botania and Immersive Engineering to set the stage for a slow paced less automated experience.
Use the limited technology from mods like Immersive Engineering and Forestry to set up some of your basic needs (and accustomed automation) such as food and ore doubling.
Or delve into the wonderful Minecolonies mod in order to keep things at a slightly slower pace and have your colonists do it all for you. Lets see if you can take over an entire continent with an ever expanding town.
Then get your feet wet with Forestry. Breed bees up to a point of producing much needed resources. Or go for some extra colorful trees for all your building needs.
A few mods like Mo' Bends, Hats and Dynamic Surroundings add a little bit of client side flavor to the game.
And when you feel brave, its probably time to head to The Between Lands. Because that mod is just awesome.
