About reputation ranksThis mod is by far the most complete, visually appealing and vanilla friendly tech mod out by far. The only shortcomings are the at times poor performance compared to other tech mods caused by the impressive visuals and emphasis on building large factories.
Some people argue this mod is overused in packs, but that isn't a detriment to the mod itself and instead serves to reinforce how ubiquitous it has become in the modding scene. The building possibilities combined with the accessibility of the mod makes it a must-play. Highly recommended!
(P.S.) I highly recommend playing at your own pace and avoiding giant schematics so you can properly learn the mod, the built in ponder mechanic should be sufficient to learn
