Harmonious Engineering

A survival pack with sensible difficulty, feelings of accomplishment and sooo much to explore :)

Early Game

• Vanilla Wooden Tools disabled
• Vanilla, TiC, or Tetra (your choice) Stone Tools as first tools
  • Seared Melter allowed early game
  • Full-Fat Smeltery Comes Later, Requires More
• Many recipes require NatProg Saw

Tech Progression

1. Create 1 (Hand Crank)
2. Create 2 (Crushing Wheel Recipes? Crafter?)
3. Immersive Engineering 1 (Blast Furnace, Coke Oven)
4. Immersive Engineering 2 (Crusher, Diesel Burning)
5. [ [ INTERMEDIARY STAGE COMPACT-MACHINIFY YOUR IE & START THERMAL ] ]
6. Thermal Expansion
7. Mekanism
8. Industrial Foregoing

Redstone From Cinnabar Machines

• IE Crusher (6x + 20%)
• Enrichment Chamber (6x)
• Purification Chamber (12x)
• Pulverizer (6x + 20%) : Will need to rm crushed cinnabar recipe
• Create Crushing (5x + 1@3%)
• Create Milling (1x + 1@50%)

Still TODO

• Remove darker depths iron smelting recipes
• Make Compact Machines Harder
• Redstone stuff mentioned above ^^
• Change all Corail Woodcutter blocks to use a saw blade
• Make ender storage use ender chest + enderium in smithing
• Remove other mills from create until IE (use Steel)
• Make drawer controller EXPONSIVE.
• Push Powah to late-game, requiring something from Mekanism because really it’s ridiculous how OP that mod can be
• Remove Powah’s cables. You’re grounded.
• Remove Powah’s ender gates. Use Flux Networks
• Balance Modular Routers
• Remove any offending loot from loot tables. See loot_tables.md

All GP Tech Mods

• Create - Bare bones. You’re just getting started. It’s neat, but it’s all you powered.
• Immersive - Getting there - now you can go steampunk at least
  • Rails, High Voltage and Diesel fill your world, for now..
  • Now you can use treated wood to start making other forms of mechanical power from create.
• Thermal
  • This will be your main “general purpose” tech mod if you want something electrical. Of course I encourage that you mix-and-match between your favorite mods or setups, but that’s just me.
• Mekanism. There’s a whole lot here. You probably know what I’m talking about. I’ll just leave this here and not mention anything about how impossible mek reactors are to get started with.
• Industrial Foregoing ... isn’t really “general purpose” but it’s definitely a contender. So yeah. It comes after Thermal and Mekanism because of all of its really convenient features. They’re 100% lovely but you deserve to wait for them.

Remaining Thoughts

• Mapping? I like Antique Atlas in an Akashic tome, do others?
• Patchouli Guide or FTB Quests (Or none?)
• Thoughts on making Stonecutting the main way to navigate around Refined Storage / AE2? Let’s say I make the interface recipe plenty difficult, but then you take it to a stonecutter to cut it down to an importer/exporter/etc.. for free. Does this upset you?
• IS THERE A WAY TO AUTOMATE THE SMITHING TABLE ?!?!? I love it as a crafting mechanic but it’s kind of rough to use if you don’t have a way to automate for late-game...
• Wormhole mod vs. waystones vs. carts - opinions? I Like the more minecarts mod and some wormholes here and there since Waystones are way too easy for a pack like this.
• “Nether” Quartz in the overworld - I love the idea, thoughts?
