Feelings on GregTech New Horizons so far (got only to around midway LV, may not be representative of the modpack as a whole):

  • I generally dislike the ore chunk mechanism; it makes it either too easy to obtain resources (encouraging manually digging out the chunk once you found the one you need) or too difficult (can't find the one chunk that you need).
  • The threshold to being able to stop manual labour and start automating things is rather offputting, given the amount of stuff that needs to be done and manually crafted to do some elementary automation with steam age tools is very time-consuming.
  • A lot of things that were familiar to me from mods (BC pipes, IC machines, RP circuits, etc) are no longer available. Me no likey.
  • The amount of grind required to get to Thaumcraft and other fun mods is absurd.
