This is probably my favourite modpack of all time and, honestly, I've played this pack for far too long as I took it slow both times. I couldn't help completing all the side quests and experiencing all the interesting processing mechanics this modpack offered.

While I had played create before, it was this pack that really showed me how great create could be, and it's obvious the impact it has had on modern pack making. Many packs have tried to imitate C: A&B but the original still remains the pinnacle of how to achieve progression on a tech pack in my eyes. The use of KubeJS to add more progression stages and mix up other mods is superb and this pack feels incredibly fresh compared to many other tech packs available.

Although this pack is getting on a bit, and is missing some of the modern create features, I would still recommend it to any fan of the create mod, as it is a shining example of what create can be.
