I had one of those, but the front wheel fell off and I had to get rid of it.
If you want a little (or a lot) crazier or more realistic worldgen without a mod (in 1.8 and newer), you can also design or copy a preset for a Customized world.

I still have another 81 to install on the left wall, and however many will fit on the wall that has the entrance.

Even with the number in that screenshot, a resonant machine frame takes a little while to make. I haven't even tried to make iridium ore yet. (infinity expert skyblock)

I went with the rule of thumb that if it took lasers, it was better to mass fab it.

Well, this is Infinity Evolved Expert, where the list of stuff you can dupe with UU-matter is pretty small. The best the Mass Fabricator can do is make the odd bit of Plutonium. In order to get a piece of iridium ore, you need to combine a unit of MOX fuel and a unit of RTG pellets in the Buildcraft assembly table, along with 80 million RF. With a stack of iridium ore (processed along with other things,) you can make the gateway item to Applied Energistics (which opens up big reactors shortly thereafter.)

It ends up being about six stacks of plutonium total.

So how long does it take to get each plutonium?

There's three ways to make plutonium.

The first way is with UU-matter. You need 291 mB of UU-matter to grunt out a single plutonium. Each mB of UU-matter takes 1m EU, or 166,666 EU and 34 scrap. (A typical IC2 reactor puts out 420 EU/t.)

The other two ways are by centrifuging spent fuel rods; either enriched uranium or MOX fuel rods. Enriched Uranium fuel rods are made with the processed results of uranium ore only, and MOX fuel is made with a blend of uranium and plutonium.

Each spent fuel rod you centrifuge yields 1/9th of a plutonium, in addition to either four U238 (enriched uranium fuel rod) or 3 plutonium (MOX fuel rod; this is recovering the plutonium you used to make the MOX fuel in the first place.) It takes 20,000 seconds to fully spend an enriched uranium fuel rod, or 10,000 seconds to spend a MOX fuel. The best design I've found can stuff 44 fuel rods into a single reactor, which is just shy of 5 plutonium per cycle. Since MOX fuel lasts half as long in a reactor, it's the best to use for breeding more plutonium.

I have 10 reactors right now on my IE:S map. Nine of them are fully automated. The tenth can turn itself off when fuel rods deplete, but is deliberately not replacing its fuel rods. This is so I can mix MOX and enriched uranium fuels. (This lets me put my existing plutonium to work making more plutonium before I get enough for a whole new reactor.)

Thank goodness for Logistics Pipes; the Placement Rules Upgrade allows you to specify which items go into which slots. Without it, I would have to limp along with 28 fuel rod reactors.

These packs always put me off...

Speaking of packs, there's an amateur ytuber I found who put out a pack called serious remnants. It's a 1.11.2(I THINK, might be 1.10) pack which focuses on the better than mods mod, and embers. He's put some cool towers in for the waystones.

I JUST figured out that you can target iridium in the replicator. And that a piece of iridium ore, a thing that takes 6 plutonium to make, costs less than half the UU-matter of a piece of plutonium. :cripes:

Dave Tate's downsy face approves.
Yet more worldgen fun the game hates from the bottom of its black heart: heavily customized RFtools dimensions. That's a shame. :gonk:

I spent awhile wishing that the mod offered any sort of high-cost workaround for the dimension builder's limited ability to accept power beyond [spend stupidly high amounts of time farming dimlet copies], but so far, every dimension I've put together that had a maintenance cost higher than around 40-50k RF/t has been so insanely laggy with chunkloading as to be functionally useless anyway.

My Draconic Reactor's fuel conversion is high enough that it finally crossed the 1mil net output threshold, but the most obvious sink in Beyond for hilarious amounts of power is, simply put, busted. Woe is me.

Do you really need it to be on Technic? Direwolf20's 1.10 pack and All the Mods over on Curse have a wide range of tech and magic mods, and the first one also has the benefit of a Let's Play series to go along with it.

I caved and got that Curse/Twitch/Whatever launcher the other day and tried to run All the Mods. It spawned in a bunch of crashing jungles and I couldn't get through ten contiguous minutes without it outright crashing out or lagging for about 20 seconds. So I guess I try Direwolf20's pack now...?

Thaumcraft Energistics should be a requirement for any mod pack with thaumcraft in it.

There's a fairly simple fix for making thaumcraft not suck to do w/o thaumic energistics - always use essentia buffers instead of pipes at any intersection and read the thaumonomicon page on essentia buffers in excruciating detail

Controlled suction (ie being able to put stuff in jars but not pull stuff from them) and essentia buffers are how you automate the entirety of essentia distillation, and that's the part that's actually annoying as poo poo.

Thaumcraft 5 essentia wrangling is so, so much easier. Instead of pipes, you just emit and acquire essentia over the air. The thaumatorium goes from irritating (without thaumic energistics) to absolutely convenient and drat near necessary.

https://minecraft.curseforge.com/projects/in-control

modify spawn.json in config to:

code:
[
  {
    "mob": "Slime",
    "result": "default"
  },

  {
    "minlight": 6,
    "hostile": true,
    "result": "deny"
  },
]
Will cause any hostile spawn at light level of 6 or higher to be denied. Rules are processed top to bottom, so if you want to carve out an exception for slimes, just include a block that does so.

I'm sure you're not biased.

I am enjoying the pack quite a bit, though. Is there a way to turn on cheats post-gen so I can use the chunk creation commands?

Pretty much.

And the stuff you get is pretty powerful, like the infinite energy storage, crystals which can transfer ludicrous amounts of rf/t and let you connect machines to power wirelessly (no more power conduits) , creative flying without the mining slowdown, multi-purpose pickaxe/shovel/axe/weapon that can dig out 15x15x15 areas in a swing, and the machine-gun bow (machine-bow?) that can kill the Ender dragon in four seconds.
