Arduous https://minecraft.curseforge.com/projects/arduous-lost-wasteland
You've awoken on this barren wasteland planet, a civilization once ruled and proud, but where is everyone? All the buildings are empty, nothing remains, all that can be seen is mass hordes in all directions of zombies, skeletons and other creatures never before seen. Inside isn't safe, Outside isn't safe, what will u do to survive this planet and escape? Can you survive the 1st day without death claiming you?
There is no natural light, when night time comes it's pitch black, no moon light and all that is heard is the scratching and moaning of whats around lurking to destroy you. Mining reveals unbeknownst horrors from the rocks just waiting to come out and devour your soul. Puddles of liquid blue or purple are not water, but also intent on harming you.
Latest version drops a bunch of mods, including Bagginses, EvilCraft, and Ars Magika. Also gone is the weather mod which means the pack runs much, much better. Feel of the pack is sort of Madpack 2 meets Infinity Evolved. Just put in my first water wheels so I'm out of the stone age.
People just starting should make flint tools and then upgrade the pick to obsidian once you have some (can get from killing reapers that show up). Once you've got Obsidian you can mine most overworld stuff. After that work on getting buckets. You'll need coke oven and blast furnace---I went with the Immersive Engineering version of both. From there I went with an ic2 generator to power rolling machine, metal former, assembly table laser, thermionic fab, and compressor. Once I had a couple buckets I built smeltery and tool forge, upgrading my tools with Celenegil heads(an alloy of Orichalcum and Platinum). Then made an iron ticon hammer and started strip mining down low to get gold. Needed gold for electrum to make kinetic dynamos and mv capacitors for the water wheels and power storage. Oh, used vanilla smelters and a Metallurgy crusher for early ingot production. I keep meaning to use Eureka for early game metal prod but always forget.
Meteor armor is good early game. You can also craft a meteor sword long before you can make one with ticon so you might want that for cobwebs. I used my axe for fighting early game.
In terms of food apple juice works fine. Make 4-5 apple trees with your first apples, won't need any other food source.
In terms of survival consider living underground. I have a 2-wide stairwell going all the way down to 10. Building all of my stuff in rooms branching off of that stairwell. Be very careful mining. Massed silverfish will spell your doom early game, particularly if you get any of the nasty infernal ones.
Be aware that creepers will explode in proximity to torches. If you block off an unlit cave don't have any torches near the blockage or a creeper on the other side can blow it open.
Once you have a hammer(or presumably any other AoE mining tool) you can mine coal without producing gas by putting a piece of cobble next to it and mining that. Presumably silktouch is another good option. I'm starved for emeralds at the moment though so don't know for sure.
And yet funny enough i as yet havent got a single reaper to show up and usually i get them a fair bit, its taunting me atm, forcing me to use the long way...
P.S Next update i'll be disabling the spawn of Reapers for the very reason of the dropping of obsidian fast tracking the mining experience.

If you try to continually use a bed during the day it will send you a reaper pretty quickly, in my experience.
Does anybody make a special weapon just for silverfish? I'm think a cleaver might work great. Damage high-enough to 1-shot the regulars and AoE so you get the entire bunch. I'm at the point where the only way I seem to die is swarming silverfish/hellfish.
I use a cleaver as my main weapon, but for AoE use the Scythe

For the 1.7.10 v2.0 release, there is a crash on startup caused by Applied Energistics and ChromatiCraft. AE2 rv3 will not work with ChromatiCraft currently. I ended up downgrading to rv2 and downgraded Thaumic Energistics to an earlier version to get it working again.
Single and Multiplayer i am able to load the client without any issues.
Multiplayer the pack works fine, no issues.
Singeplayer, at least for me, i had to disable witchery in order to create and join a SP world.

Hey I wanted to say great work on this! I've been hosting a private server and testing this out with my brother. We're testing Arduous2 1.10.2-v0.3.
I had some trouble getting the server to work, since I couldn't get the server file on the top post to fully download, and presumably that's only for the stable branch anyway. I made a new instance of Arduous2 1.10.2-v0.3 and removed schematica, and used forge to run the server. There's a worrying amount of lag compared to what I normally get when I host and play on my own PC with say FTB, but this is my first time testing out any modpacks newer than 1.7.4. If there are any specific ways to config the beta server more properly, I'd love to know, and give feedback as well.
One issue we ran into so far other than the sluggishness, was with ProjectE. The destruction catalyst does not seem to function, although it will consume fuel. The dark matter pickaxe also doesn't seem to function properly, and when mining with it in tall mode, it crashed the server and seemed to wipe everything in the player file except the items. (achievements and transmutation table recipes gone, but items and EMC still present.)
I was curious and started a single player world, opened to LAN, and gave myself a dark matter pickaxe, and it didn't seem to work properly there either, and crashed the client as well.
Not sure if you're aware of any of this, but I hope it's helpful. Thanks again for working on this fun pack!

Have manyullyn tools, first ic2 reactor, mining laser, and a basic jetpack. Not sure what my next step is in tech. MFSU tier power in ic2 is an option but looks quite painful. I did just find the final AE2 template, so maybe I can start AE2.
Have agricraft 10/10/10 seeds for glowstone and a food crop, so set there.
I cleared an entire Roguelike dungeon and didn't get a single info fragment for Chromaticraft so I'm kind of avoiding the magic front.
Have a room of burning netherrack with fans blowing the lycanites fire mobs into a diamond spike, keeps me in coal, blaze rods, and blaze powder. Does spawn those wraiths or whatever periodically so it is probably about time to build an MFR grinder.
Have Q.E.D., have 4x3 Immersive Engineering waterwheels for general purpose power.
Oh hey, Morpheus, you might want to disable/change Aroma1997's mining world. Not that hard to make the portal and for doing so you get a superflat mining world fill with neutrals, trees and flowers for both botania/chromaticraft, no normal/lycanite monster spawns. Only aggro mobs I've found have been from a spawner and geonachs. Also has villages, and also has perma-daylight. All things considered seems pretty OP for this pack.
Its something ive had down to really hammer down the recipe for the pack, im looking to change ti be a late game availability using the 9x9 crafting grid in order to procure everything.
This an a few other tweaks will come out in the next update.

Seems like you go the start into mid game, but large amounts of power will be a very very important thing with needing a massive amount of Glowstone, diamonds etc .. iridium is going to be what you'll need a bit of as well.
Agricraft seeds are always very handy, blaze rods will be a good thing to have a good supply of, so your good there.
Im curious to see how you progress from here on in.

Here is a sneak peak at what the new recipe for the Aroma Portal Charger will look like:

Doubt I'll get much farther, most of my usual paths seem to be gated through the molecular transformer at this point. Was kind of bummed to make 4 crystal growth accelerators only to realize the only two things I could use to power them needed the certus quartz wrench which is gated behind the molecular transformer. Thought I had it faked out using a charger since it has ae energy and accepts fluix cable connections but evidently it won't output energy, just accept it.
So that means no quarry and no ae2 until after molecular transformer. Probably don't have enough iridium anyway though. Haven't fooled around with ic2-exp's new UU liquid stuff, I suppose that is an option although I would really need to build out my power, the best option of which seems to be agricraft->culinary generators which is what I did for ie skyblock.
Yup, this is where things slow right down and you goto really think about power and play the long game

The fastest way to get iridium is to use the Runic Dungeon's ... but you will need good Armour an weapons and lot of torches

Well, I decided to keep going. Took me a couple hours to build that Molecular Transformer. Sunnarium is being produced slowly but surely.
Using a 120EU/t nuclear reactor and a an x8 Culinary generator. Will make a bunch more culinary generators as I obtain more redstone/iron. Ran very low on redstone, iron, and diamonds between building this and Beef Wellington automation.
Went with a 9x9 farm for now with ~20 each of 10/10/10 spinach, soybean, potato, and white mushroom. Agricraft sprinklers on top, the output is pretty crazy. Think I can do a lot more x8 generators before having to expand/duplicate the farm. Will have to drop speed upgrades in various transfer nodes to get around some of the bottlenecks in my current spaghetti transfer pipe network. Sludge burner came in handy for clay which I was out of and mycelium to crossbreed into white mushrooms.
Probably take a break from that project and let it work on Sunnarium while I work on a ghast tear supply of some sort.
Ghast Tear supply i found the quickest way is to capture a carminate ghastling from Twilight Forest in a safari net. Essence is prolly going to be the tricky thing.
