Found a very OP mod. Called botany pots. It basically introduced a new type of pot where you only need to put 1 seed and 1 block of soil, then it will automatically grow, harvest, and replant, output the product into a chest. No power needed.
And with botany trees, you can plant tree inside that pot, and you will get the log block and tree saplings.
@skyblond@qoto.org Yeah, been using that a lot. Try Mystical Agriculture too, in combination with Botany Pots you can craft almost anything with those essences.
Another fun production mod is Productive Bees.
@trinsec In my current run I plan to use create mod to get some location-specific resource, like clay, you can get it by washing crashed gold ore. Definitely going to make them automatic in the end game.
@skyblond@qoto.org Just too bad for me I really don't like Create much. ;) I also got tired of Immersive Engineering.
Maybe I should try GregTech someone. It's in ATM9 and is said to be done hardcore version of IndustrialCraft. I just am not very fond of all the different power levels and chance of exploding.
@trinsec I generally don't want to go that hard core in game. Create mod is a kinda easy version of industrial mods to me and didn't add tons of new things that I have no idea about where to start.
@skyblond@qoto.org Yup. In my second play I now try to minimize the use of MA. Only for the armor and the farmland when needed, but trying none of the essences and trying to stick to Productive Bees instead as I'll still need to do some effort setting that up.
