I think this is a really fun skyblock pack that doesn't overstay its welcome. The pseudo-economy of "selling" essences for EMC with which you can "buy" raw resources is unique and feels more engaging than just spamming sieves or bonsai pots as is common in other skyblock packs. Automation chains can get somewhat complex, but never so much that it gets overwhelming.

My only significant complaint is that Create doesn't really mesh well with the Watch of Flowing Time's tick acceleration, which is pretty much the only way to speed up late-game processes that aren't a Thermal Expansion machine. Having an alternative processing method (maybe a custom multiblock?) for things like Final Star Shards would have been nice.

Ultimately, if you like automation and don't need something super long term you'll probably enjoy this one!

P.S. when you're crafting Power Flowers at the very end, rush for one so that you can plop it down to get easy Final Stars via EMC for the rest. I wasted like 10 hours crafting the Power Flowers in parallel until I realized that :')
