I had some fun with this pack over the course of two playthroughs- first alone, then again with a few friends. As far as kitchen sinks go, it is pretty good. Many of the mods are well integrated into each other. But its still a kitchen sink - no real goals until endgame, poor balancing, a bloated mod list, etc..

I started this pack as a meme, given that it contains two of the most notoriously grindy mods, Terrafirmacraft and GregTech. However, I found that I was actually having fun playing this. The version of TFC that is included is made a lot better by many of the addon mods, and tweaks from the packs developers. In past modpacks I've played that included GregTech, I dreaded having to actually use it for progression, but its the exact opposite here. Terrafirmacraft is so grindy that getting my first few GT machines was a welcome reprieve. The pack runs super well, and is the first modpack I've played that I am able to use shaders on without bricking my computer.

Dropped a star in gameplay because of the food spoilage mechanic. Its base TFC, but I still don't like it. Dropped a star in aesthetics because there is one track that has a loud screeching sound for some reason, so I had to turn off music.
