General Idea
This modpack was designed to skip by all of the early skyblock grind by adding some custom mods to do with resource generation. The general idea is easy infinite ore generation, since GregTech ores spawn in massive veins anyways. Right from the start you have a platform with everything you need to start generating ores and resources, and even an AE2 Crafting Terminal and Angel Ring! With around 150 mods (around 125 being QOL and performance) the mod count is intentionally low. GregTechCEu Modern is one of the only large content mods added. Almost all of the "hard mode" configs have been enabled but other than that no GregTech recipes have been altered and no custom items have been added. Quests are present to show progression and offer some basic rewards like Cables, crafting components, Conveyors, and things like that.
Additional Mods
While there are some other mods present, there are not too many content mods other than GregTechCEu Modern. Applied Energistics 2 is an obvious one, but there are quite a few building and QOL mods like Xtones: Reworked, Framed Blocks, Building Gadgets, Mob Grinding Utilities, EnderTanks, EnderChests, and more. There are no other large scale tech mods but there are some gadgets and logistic choices. Modular Routers, LaserIO and EnderIO's conduits have been added to help with logistics. Custom recipes have been added to make a skyblock work better where necessary. Most recipes for additional mods (except AE2) have been altered to fit GregTech better, with heavy use of the Assembler.
Resource Generation
A few custom mods have been made to introduce a new start to a skyblock, mainly Simple Sky Resource Generators. The main idea is to use the Random Ore Generator to obtain 1 of each ore, then use those ores to generate more of that ore type. You will start off manually mining blocks being generated in the world but progress to an automated item generator instead. Ores were meant to be the least of your worries. Progression and automation should be the only thing on your mind. With these blocks you can easily have an infinite ore generator feeding into whatever machines necessary. While the Random Ore Generator may seem hectic at first, you only need 1 Raw Ore of a material to start generating that ore. Need mobs? Spawners are craftable and Spawn Eggs are purchasable at the Market block. You can find more information on resource generation in the following wiki link, Sky Greg wiki - Resource Generation.
Go go GregTech!
THIS MODPACK IS A WORK IN PROGRESS, EXPECT MANY UPDATES AND CHANGES.
THE QUEST BOOK IS INCOMPLETE BUT BEING WORKED ON. (most of the quest book is together but it still needs some work)
