I made modpacks. I used to make some for Team Avion, though before that I made a few modpacks I won't admit to making now days out of shame, but the pack that really got some notice was Safety Lost. After that I partnered up with TeamAvion for a never unreleased modpack, first as a tester, and then as an actual modpack developer and team member. Now days I have almost nothing to do with the modding and pack making communities. I don't know what happened to most those guys.
I remembered a time before we had Thermal Dynamics ducts, Applied Energistics, and all the other forms of automation we have now. That was back when Buildcraft was how we automated the world. It was a simplier time, however the world left Buildcraft behind, but Buildcraft has marched on silently in the background, and this pack shows you all there is to do as a result by not giving you any other options than Buildcraft and those mods which it birthed.
This is a survival centric modpack. My goal was to create a fun and interesting grind that was more than just a resource dump. Very little tech, limited easy to use automation (though the pack is fully automatable), and a focus on surviving a harsh and unforgiving world.
