Decent foundation ruined by abysmal quest flow

Welcome to Antimatter Chemistry! Here's a questbook where we'll railroad you into doing a linear series of extremely specific not necessarily required things but not tell you about anything else. Don't worry, there's some really good stuff waiting for you at the end of all of this after I drag you by the scruff through vanilla nether, and then the cave dimension, and then vanilla Atum, interspersed with fun quests like making a fishing rod and then telling you to not use the fishing rod. Were you expecting to do something tech related? Don't worry, you will, maybe a dozen hours from now. While you wait for other functional machines to use, have a pink generator. Trying to fuel this is definitely a good use of your time. What do you mean you dont want to go into the vanilla cave dimension to gather ore blocks of ores you already had a bunch of? We love meaningful quest rewards so here's a bunch of useful things and also 8 pieces of bacon that are inferior to the three stacks of cooked potatoes you're probably carrying around. Don't worry, you can go do something else, you certainly don't have to worry about things like end of chapter timewalls and gamestages to pressure you to not take your time.

I think I'm probably just going to go and try to get my alchemistry fill somewhere else.
