This pack is designed to essentially prolong the "vanilla" experience in a way. I added Mekanism for power solutions, Mystical Agriculture for infinite resources via farming, And Draconic Evolution for when you reach the end game and have an abundance of power. Other than that it's all quality of life and answers to a few other things I wanted included or a couple of interesting extras. I wanted it minimilist as possible the progression is linear and easy to understand, and also so early game you can enjoy a vanilla-ish experience.
