    Got burnt out on omnifactory awhile ago but I’m trying nomifactory now. I’m trying to make a desert base kind of inspired by the ESO Hotel.

    I also played a little Minecraft: Golden Times (Tekkit classic remake for 1.15) for the nostalgia but it’s basically an idle game once you get a power flower set up.

      Is that a GregTech pack? I tried InfiTech 2 a while back but hated the mining so much. I resorted to using JourneyMap waypoints to teleport to all the ores but still couldn’t stand it and gave up. GregBlock was more to my taste being a skyblock with automatable ores, but all the crafting and the machines always ending up with an odd amount of liquid left over got to me. Never made it past MV. Are Omnifactory/Nomifactory any better?

        I don’t recall having any problems with liquids in my omni playthrough which I quit around MV IIRC.

        The mining is a breeze in nomi IF you play on a default world type. The official lost cities world type is actually a little poorly integrated since some essential veins spawn higher up. But with the scanner, buying ores with coins, and the diamond hammers you get to start with, I would say the mining is much simpler than most packs. And you can automate ores fairly early as well, so if you use your coins wisely it shouldn’t be an issue.
