As someone with little experience or knowledge with the typical gameplay of tech mods, this was a really gentle introduction. I appreciate how the Create early game feels very meaningful. The Tinkers Construct experience was refreshing and I enjoyed the use of the Smeltery as a core method of alloying and processing metals. I did not use Tinkers Construct tools very often, though.

The quests are a bit loose and don't give clear direction, but this could just be a matter of my personal opinion. The questlines for specific mods overlook how the mods themselves progress and generally assume you already know what you're doing; they feel more like achievement tasks than quest lines.

FPS is rough on my laptop HP Pavilion laptop. Adding ModernFix and FastSuite brought my average framerate from 15 fps to 64 fps, but it was still incredibly unstable. Strangely, 5GB of RAM is enough for a singleplayer world but NOT when joining a server.

Good pack. Compared to Stoneblock 4 this is a lot tamer and not at all RPG-focused.
