Actually, GregTech itself radically complicates the player’s life, changing the principles of ore generation in the world, adding a large number of different machines and mechanisms that allow all transformations of materials.

Of course, one Buckwheat is not enough, so almost 180 different mods were added that affect various aspects of the game.

But this was not enough for the creators of the assembly and they completely redid all the recipes and technological transformations, making them closer to those valid in the real world (this becomes especially noticeable when you are doing chemistry and in order to obtain a certain product you have to go through a huge chain of transformations). There are no simple recipes, vanilla recipes are completely disabled. Even to get boards you will have to get a saw, and the yield of boards will be very low.

Of course, this is good, but how to figure it all out? – you ask.

In order to understand: how, what, why to do, a book with quests has been added to the game, which explain in detail what is happening in the world and step by step guide you along the path of technical progress, while suggesting what you need to pay attention to at this level. The book has sections dedicated to individual mods that you need to pay attention to (without which technical progress and your development will not be able to grow). It is worth mentioning the fact that for completing tasks you will be rewarded with: various materials, a unique tool, a bag with items from the section for which it was received, quest specific tokens (survival, magic, chemistry, blacksmithing, etc.).

The book will be with you constantly, it will guide you through the entire chain of development, tell you when you need to do magic, tell you about alternative energy sources, advise you to make certain machines to simplify production, etc.

Bags with items have their own levels (for example, depending on the energy level), they can be combined in threes to get a bag of the next level, if, of course, you have developed to it.

Tokens (coins) are used to purchase necessary items, which are gradually unlocked as you progress. They are very helpful when you need to get at some stage expensive or rare materials that you have already discovered.

Playing GTNH for one person is quite difficult at any stage of development (especially when there is a transition from single-block mechanisms to multi-block, multi-threaded structures), so when playing with friends, you can share responsibilities: a magician, an engineer, a builder, a miner, or together build a huge plant, think over the laying of wires and pipes, calculate locations for installing equipment.

I was very pleased with the mechanics of space flights. These indescribable feelings at the moment of launch. Space travel will improve your knowledge of astronomy, because not only our solar system is presented here, but also the nearest stars with their planets and satellites. There will also be an opportunity to travel to the closest exoplanet to Earth, Ross 128b.

For those who do not like to dig ore, there are several solutions to choose from:Breed bees. There is a bee for each ore here.Propagate plants on perches. Crops from IndustrialCraft in this assembly allow you to grow a huge number of plants with different properties and fruits, including the necessary ores.Liquid matter. Why dig and breed something when you can get almost any element using a liquid matter replicator. Liquid matter can be obtained from almost any unnecessary things.

For creativity, there is a huge number of blocks, as well as various mods that change the textures of blocks, mods that allow you to cut blocks or make blocks of a certain shape from them. Here you can build any buildings in different styles and eras.

This modpack gives you the opportunity to do what you love for a very long period. Updates are constantly coming out, adding new cars and mechanisms, fixing bugs, adding new quests and even mods.
