Sweden (the country) has made a mod for more realistic geology. It's interesting at least. I do wonder it it's all oredicted.

I liked seeing IC2 stuff in the pack because I hadn't run through IC2 stuff before. I found it interesting enough to build one fully automated uranium->iridium line of production just to build it once, and I think someone could probably come along and build IC3 and have an interesting mod.

That said - IC2 definitely had the dumbest mechanical decision I have ever seen a mod make in minecraft. Why does wrenching apart a machine with the wrong tool revert the machine to a frame? That's just an incredible gently caress-you to your userbase. Oh and metal plates just for the sake of metal plates being different than ingots was also relatively stupid given that they didn't do anything other than provide a pointless intermediary step after ingots.

Essentially IC2 being in infinity as an introduction to IC2 wasn't bad, but IC2 itself is bad enough that the infinity devs should have hacked parts of it out entirely.

So this is pretty cool: Better With Mods.

I never got to experience Better Than Wolves and by the time I heard about it and FlowerChild's bullshit I didn't want to. But this appears to be BTW without the psychosis ( or at least the majority of it, although I noticed that wolves poop, but it's not required for anything).

The mechanical power system is really neat! I'm glad I can try it out without dealing with required wolf abuse. The author aims to make it diverge from BTW down the line, aiming for compatibility with other mods. It should at least be fun until FC goes apeshit (after that it will be REALLY fun ).
