Description
(Warning: The beginning is a little "quirky" but only for about a minute. It returns to normal right after.)
In the beginning was the humble kitchen sink modpack.
And then, people got ideas. The first of which was the expert modpack, where recipes chained into each other and your efforts in one mod allowed you to progress into anothe.
After that, people came up with factory modpacks.
This modpack takes you through that (aka my) journey of modpack development, starting as a kitchen sink that is "updated" with new mods as you progress. Then it turns into a slice of an expert pack with a new set of mods, and finally a factory pack where you must mass-automate a difficult to produce custom item.
Made for the Big Autumn Packjam. I might update it to be more fleshed out if it's popular enough, but don't expect much otherwise since I have other packs I'm more focused on. So if you liked the concept and want to see it realized, PLEASE bug me and let me know somewhere like here or on my discord!
