In a nutshell, this modpack is just another kitchen sink pack, but with no overlapping content and unnecessary mods. There are lots of config changes and development is much more delicate than the average kitchen sink modpack. My main objectives before adding any new content is fixing issues, incompabilities, eliminating duplicates, giving uses to unused features and items, optimizing and balancing.
The main addition to this modpack as a kitchen sink pack is difficulty. I didn't make it necessarily more grindy but made the gameplay itself harder. Balancing includes buffed MineColonies, body temperature system, nerfed Ice and Fire spawn locations (farther from spawn) and smarter mobs. However, there are so many little tweaks and changes that I can't list them all, simply because I don't want to put all my energy into finding every single one of them.
