My criteria of basedness:
- No digital logistics.
I hate ae2, not only is it just boring looking one-cable-does-it-all solution, but I think it is also part of the reason why recipes became so fking complicated in a lot of tech mods/packs with a billion useless intermediate components. Instead, I’d like to have something more tangible, like bc pipes or logistics pipes.
- As few magical one-block machines as possible.
This means more mods along the lines of IE and create, not like thermal expansion or mekanism.
- No mining out of thin air.
So no mods like ex nihilo or environmental tech. Instead, mining would be done by something like a bc quarry or a railcraft mining train (ahh that thing was so cool 🤤).
So basically, I want it to be as immersive as possible, you go around your base and see machines actually doing their work, items flowing through the pipes, power lines scattered everywhere etc, instead of just a million ugly same-looking block machines connected with those stupid cables.
Edit: I know ae2 mechanics, I just don’t like how it removes logistics problems and turns everything into numbers basically. I love when I can see what’s happening. This is one of the things I enjoy the most in this game. You fly with a jetpack and see how chunks of forests and meadows filled with animals are turning into huge empty pits made by bc quarry, how those mined ores travel through your base in pipes or on conveyors and change into different things as they are processed. This is the kind of gameplay I want.
