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 “gifts̶1; 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.
