tl;dr: a light combination of popular mods designed to eliminate power creep and grind

Almost every modpack starts out with a long mining trip and then a journey to getting as overpowered as possible, ignoring less powerful mods. In this pack, you will be Immersive Engineering and BuildCraft to create factories, Roots and Astral Sorcery to "harness the magic of the world," and the essentials like Applied Energistics to go along with those. But, you won't have to grind for very long to start building. Simple Storage Network lets you manage your inventory very early on and Twerk Sim 2k16 combined with OreExcavation makes mining and tree farming more fun. Mystical Agriculture was also included but nerfed so that you can only farm base matierals. And no garden cloches.

With less than 75 mods, you can run this pack with 2gb of ram! (at least 4 recommended).

No, this is not a pack based on using JUST a few specific mods. It has most of the mods included in more popular modpacks such as Chisel, Storage Drawers, Pam's Harvestcraft, etc. If there is a small QoL mod you want, either add it yourself or ask in the comments.

Current Balance:

ae2 is completely gated against Botania with fluix crystals replaced with Elementium and certus quartz replaced with Manasteel
Mystical Agriculture requires a little Botania to get started
more coming soon

Oh, and Biome Bundle!
