It's a classic expert pack from an older era when expert packs were becoming the norm (Infinity Expert and Ozone 2 had only come out a while before this). The mod choice in the early and mid-game is unique, especially with Calculator which I haven't seen used much anywhere else.

The only issues are that the tedium can be a lot both early on, and after you set up UU matter replication. All of my runs stopped after that. In fact, I heard that the tedium continues to increase, thus my 4 starts for the gameplay. And that's AFTER I manually added Ore Excavator/Vein Miner to the modpack. I have no shame in doing so, it brought me more fun where it mattered.

Otherwise, there's plenty of clever setups you can make using the mods available (Calculator, Actually Additions, Tinkers 2, Super Circuit Maker, Extra Utilities 2, etc.) These clever setups and inter-mod compatibility is what really defines expert modpacks imo.

Also, stability is so-so, but that's because it's on Minecraft 1.10 than because of the mods themselves.

Description

This modpack was 5 months in the works. It is a tech-centered modpack with a technology tree, focus in progression and hundreds of changed (harder) recipes. This is achieved by gating progression by several blocks and items leading to the next age. The pack is divided in 15 ages, reaching the next age is awarded with an achievement and a trophy you can place. What you can do and have to do in each age to progress and reach the next age is covered in a guide (from FTB Utilities, just click the book in the top left corner).

The goal of the pack is to give a longer lasting experience than other packs, also giving the challenge to automate almost everything. It also features several lesser known mechanics from well-known mods or you have to tackle some well-known problems in a different manner as you lack either some blocks/items you would normally have or they are just too expensive at that stage of the game, the problems mostly how to automate this task or how to generate more power with the ressources I have.

This pack is heavily inspired from FTB Infinity Expert Mode, but is still very different in many ways. The goal was also to not make the recipes harder to just make them harder, but also make sense and balance recipes when two or more mods offer a different solution to a problem.

This modpack is aimed at more experienced players to look for a new challenge, but can also work for semi-experienced players who like tech mods and want to learn more about them and don't mind the challenge.

I will not provide server files as you can setup a normal Forge server and copy the mods, config, resources and scripts folders to the server (from the client not from the zip from curseforge).
