UniversIO

One of the best modpacks ive played. Progression system is nicely done and I think their focus of the continuation of ProjectE was also done great

This modpack started really well, the idea of getting quarks and protons and everything to build your own universe its insane! but it went down as the chapters goes.

The first chapter was really good, the second one could be better but the last one was terrible. I think the devs just ran out of ideas and just shoved ProjectE stuff and witherstorm for no reason. The whole universe building idea just got forgotten mid pack, on the second chapter i was thinking it would come back later but it did not.

Another thing, it is REALLY bad for new modded minecraft players, the quests did not explain a single thing about the pack. There is one part of the progression that you need iron to make a hopper to make a pressure chamber, but the pack doesnt tell you to go to the purgatory get iron from the ceiling of villager's houses. Thankfully im experienced with modded minecraft and i figured out another way to do it, that is dropping things inside the pressure chamber and then closing it out so you get the first few iron ingots to make the inputs. Besides that, the oil part is really confusing too, i just assumed that it would be on purgatory's bottom and it was there.

This pack had so much potential but just lost it mid pack, the start was amazing, but they just forget later on what they were doing, like what does the wither storm has to do with this pack? Sooooo much wasted potential. 2 / 5

Look. I really did not want this to be a bad modpack in my books. It looked so interesting at the start! Having to create your earth with nothing but quarks? That's so cool and unique! I adored that, and I really wished that's where it kept on going. I could see this as a really unique space modpack where you have to create your own universe!

But... That's sadly not where it went. Instead, I'm treated to.. Basic tutorials on 2 different mods (Botania and PneumaticCraft) and then a Project E EMC grind. I do think the choice of mods are neat. Botania and PneumaticCraft, atleast for me, are oft neglected mods in other packs I've played. I just wish it was used more together and to push the original theming even further.

Another thing, a good bit of the quest book is vague on what to do to progress, especially on getting the basic metals (iron and copper). To even get some of these ingots to start out with, you must travel to the purgatory area in this and loot villager(?) houses. NOTE FOR NEW PLAYERS: When you enter a house, look up. You'll thank me later.

What really drops this for me, and what made me call quits, is the grind for EMC. The end game of the modpack is to kill the Wither Storm and create the Withered Nether Star, and for completionists, to create the Final Power Flower. Sadly, good luck generating that EMC bucko! This pack's only way of creating EMC is through Power Flowers or creating a boat load of chemistry items from cosmic dust (see first picture). Neither are truly viable for EMC farming, as the power flowers don't create enough EMC to get to the next tier in a reasonable time, and you cannot get EMC links that support the amount of items you create from dust farming unless you have a ridiculous amount of EMC to start.

All in all, as I kept on playing, it kept getting worse. It's sad that this modpack came out after the creator's genuinely great pack, Encrypted_. Also is this pack supposed to be the teased pack in Encrypted? Really doesn't live up if so. Eitherway, back on point. I do hope the creator returns to this concept and ground up redo it. Lean more into the chemistry and crafting the universe atom by atom, as that's what made this pack truly special at the start.

The art and stuff is good in general, but this game was very confusing. First of all, I had to watch a youtube tutorial to even get the pickaxe for mining nothingness. BUT MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL: I CAN'T FRICKING OPEN THE CRAFTING MENU!!!!!!!!! IT SAYS "press c to open crafting menu" BUT I WAS SPAMMING C CROUCHING AND STANDING FOR A SOLID 5 MINUTES!!!!!!!! would say 0 out of 5 if could

so i tried this modpack since it looked good but there is litteraly no way to get past the first few quests simply because i try to use the philosophers stone to craft and it doesnt work, like press c, press c, I AM PRESSING C, i really wanna use this modpack but its broken and yeah, its dogwater

First of all, the modpack automatically installs both Rubidium and Embeddium, meaning you have to manually uninstall Embeddium. Second of all, once you do manage to get in-game, the very first actual quest cannot be completed since the item that you need, which an information quest "gifts" you, cannot be entered into your inventory in any way.
Aesthetics are literally just a black void, that's it.

While it's kind of Confusing at times, really my only suggestion would be to improve the Guide Book, though honestly it needs a major overhaul. Other then that, it's an amazing modpack so far!

this is the shitiest modpack I have ever played. the concept seems so fun, but I can't even play it because of the amount of the bugs and glitches there are. the main one, is whenever I use JEI and put the stuff into the crafting grid when I am in the philosopher's stone. it causes my game to bug out. I can only move, i can't break blocks can't do ANYTHING. i try to reset my game but it doesn't let me close out. it glitches me to the main menu and I can't sloe out of that. i can't even clos the window. FIX THE FUCKING BUGS PLEASE.

I really wanted to like the pack from the description given.

But went started rough and went downhill from there. Initially I was unable to join the world after creating it because xaero's map mods were out of date and crashed the game on joining then I was unable to pull up the crafting grid provided by the philosopher's stone because 5 other things were bound to the same key, I'm sorry but those fall on the modpack author to fix prior to publishing.

The first chapter of creating something from nothing of the void to be teleported to a superflat earth. The idea of gravity was cool but fell short from incosistent logic from fall damage and controlling the gravity of other entities.

I called the pack quits after dying in the not void and being teleported to the center of the map, several thousand blocks from home in some direction I don't know.

Sure, if by universe you mean "craft portal to earth from void dimension in the first 30 minutes and then start survivng a mediocre expert modpack" then you, in fact, did make a universe.
