This Modpack takes create and flips it over its head
it makes the automation part of the mod harder to start but when you get everything you need you'll thrive (just like rl craft)
To start: Find Gravel. gravel will be your key to start off you need gravel because the No Tree Punching mod is installed so obviously you need flint shards to make flint tools and to get flint shards you bang flint on to a stone block then you should have flint shards after you get flint shards get a stick and make a knife after that cut some grass to get some plant fibers and craft some string and use the other flint shard you got to make a axe then get some wood and get a flint pickaxe then then mine some iron make a furnace then you should be good to go
To start automation: (this will be hard) You either have to 1. find a whirlpool, or 2. make a hole in a ocean (the whirlpool is easier) you cant have water wheels for long in this mod pack because The water physics has changed so you need to make another power source with little recourses you have to find a water stream going downwards and make something that can generate power (Enchased Fan is Recommended) then
after your done making it get out of that cave as soon as you can because the cave will probably flood soon
