Not quite as impactful as when I used a Sacred Sapling in a skyblock without understanding it was about to delete a huge chunk of my base to place that huge fuckoff tree structure.

i was working on getting wool of every color to decorate on a skyblock recently and ended up with 2 of every color of sheep in a quadrant-sectioned platform for sheep, pigs, chickens, and cows. I had all the different kinds of animals in huge numbers and finally managed to get all the sheep together in one pen. AFKed overnight to let a mob farm run, next day the wooden fence around the sheep enclosure was gone.

Lesson learned: livestock get stone walls

It's insane the amount of stuff they've done to modernize their version of 1.7.10. It's completely different from a typical modpack of that era, give it a chance if that's really the thing holding you back.

The madmen and madwomen of the GTNH dev team are actually creating an open source alternative to optifine due to its dated, insane licensing. Also, they are making a mod called "Neodymium", which is probably going to have fixes similar to Sodium, etc (just guessing based on the name.) I believe the goal is to eliminate fastcraft and optifine entirely for open source, permissive license mods.

It feels like a relic from the early days of Technic and the mod distribution drama that erupted, honestly. Still, the devs of GTNH take it deadly seriously, to the point of creating entirely new mods just to clone the content of All Rights Reserved mods like IC2 and GalaxySpace.

Yeah, even if GTNH is Entirely Too Much for my tastes, I can respect the hell out of what they're doing.

If they ever made a less-grindy variant of the pack I'd probably love it, but I couldn't even commit to Nomifactory past the start of EV because of poo poo like Lumium and Signalum; the idea that I could endure the poo poo GTNH asks of you is laughable.

lol pretty much, i get funny looks from my friends when im talking about playing modded minecraft in 2023, though i bet some would totally be game for some gregtech shenanigans.

i started over in 2.3.0 as well, i wasnt too far in and a fresh slate with what i know now from watching some videos will help.

Yeah, it’s like Nomifactory++. I just recently started it myself and am beginning the MV age and it’s definitely more challenging. No more, “grind up and electrolyze free furnaces for oxygen,” style gimmicks. I think about how much more GTNH puts you through and can’t imagine how anyone has the patience for it. Probably pays to be 20 years younger lol.

I like how this version of GTNH had a message at the beginning of the quest book basically saying "hey don't worry about getting to the end of the book, very few people do. just enjoy yourself and set your own milestones for how far you want to go." I'm gonna follow that advice as I play.

I think they meant grind as the "grind up something into powder" sense, not a "perform rote game tasks over a long period of time" sense.

I get that, but "shortcut" recipes to easily provide materials you'll need in bulk made the pack easier to get through. If those were removed or nerfed, you'll be facing more rote game tasks over a long period of time.

It's not really possible to compare omnifactory to GTNH; they use wildly different versions of Minecraft, GregTech, and all of the added mods in question. That being said, GTNH has tons of that sort of stuff. Oxygen, for example -- you start with electrolyzing water, then get liquid air centrifuging and electrolysis of sugar, then fully automated EXTREME industrial greenhouses making "sweed" for bulk sugar electrolysis, capping off with the space elevator pumping oxygen and bringing it back down to earth. (Maybe the Eye of Harmony can also make it? Not sure.)

I guess I missed a step because I didn't think we were talking about GTNH. Randomblue and Lordshmee were discussing Nomifactory GTCEu and I thought the mention of GTNH was just that it seemed more in-depth. I didn't realize the furnace grinding/electrolyzing was a reference to GTNH practices, not Nomifactory.

It's the opposite, furnace grinding is a nomifactory thing. But, yeah, they aren't really comparable.

I definitely meant that the CEu version is more grindy than regular Nomifactory. I’m still figuring out whether I’m going to keep at it or not. It’s GT Lite, but not as lite as the vanilla Nomifactory implementation. Most of the “oh thank god” conveniences are not present. Like, I need oxygen now, and at this point the only way I can really start is to wait 80 seconds to centrifuge air for 1 bucket. It uh… really sucks actually, lol.

You can't get oxygen from water or sugar? I guess some ore types have it too.

You absolutely can electrolyze water. It takes 75 seconds instead of 80. As it happens, I should have read the quest book a little closer, as the much faster starter option is in fact to electrolyze silicon dioxide just like vanilla Nomi, except you get it now from grinding glass, not furnaces.
