14:00 you don't need a pipe for the loop of the Philosopher stone. Next time set the crafter as "ExtC" and not in "Ext" so you output everything exept the item needed for the craft
Bit late but I feel the same way about create, I love mek but had to stop playing this pack soon after create was forced@@Hobble. I love setting up various reactors for mek, each designed to breed a certain more powerful fuel for the next down the chain
Can agree I played this pack and it's surprisingly challenging and also very slow at the start with a lot of resource management and manual work, once you get automated storage and automated crafting it becomes much easier but it's still hard
@@J0seph_Mother im...not sure what you mean by lots of manual work? Sure you have a brief phase of chopping trees for emc, but the supplies for a factory to make tier 1 crystals aren't thaaaat pricy?
My workaround for the drawers bug, was literally two drawer networks. I piped the items from the infinite drawer into the working one. It was not elegant and did not spark joy.
the speed at which you complete this modpack is proof of your knowledge of general minecraft tech mods it took me and a friend about 2 weeks to complete the pack, you truly make it look so easy
ONLY 2 WEEKS? It will take me ABOUT 100+ years to complete the modpack. I'm not even lying too I'm so confused when it comes to automation I just dont understand it.

~6 Gas-Burning Generators from mekanism burning Eteline can make the same amount of power as the Nitro generator from Powah. The best thing is the gas-burner setup can uses kelp as fuel and it only costs 8 EMC each producing 2 biofuel. It's easier to setup as you don't have to worry about all the fiddly bits of Powah and at most it costs a bit of steel and gold so you can get it set up early in mid game.
I just watched the video and I have to say, this video's quality is way beyond your channel's size and the amount of views you got for it. Editing was great, commentary was clear and on point, you deserve more. I hope the youtube algorithm gets you somewhere someday.
This video perfectly describes how I felt playing this pack. Breezing through the early tiers (with some small side quests to obtain items early for my base build lol) but then came all the Mekanism and the pain begins. I built the laggiest mess with LaserIO to get water into my max size reactor… if only I knew about this tank method haha
I really like these kinds of "one episode" summaries. I really like knowing if a modpack is actually worth playing without sitting down and watching a full playthrough.
I found this video purely by accident and boy am I happy! I always wanted to play any type of Minecraft modded besides adventure packs haha You have so much knowledge about modded MC, respect ❤️
for future reference, 4 diamond chests around a tinkers construct crafting bench basically acts as a cheap digital storage. Usually lasts me long enough to unlock refined storage in these packs!
im only 13 minutes in so im not sure if you do this later on but its really easy to make alot of EMC pretty early on. for anyone just starting this modpack, rush the pedestal and watch of flowing time, get energy orbs from the energyIO mod and use item and energy cards, get a basic reactor from powah aswell, you can manually rush to t3 quite easily without any automation setup to get this unlocked, from there, put 1 watch of flowing time on a pedestal near the reactor to make it generate tens of thousands of FE per tick despite normally only generating 1K per tick, make a t1 setup with energy being supplied with energy cards, and item cards for transfering materials, counting filters and normal filters will prevent clogging, this setup with nothing else other than 2 watches on the setup and 1 on the power generation will make around 16K emc per second using thermal machines. the reason you need energy orbs with the energy cards is because thermal machines REFUSE to take enough power from cables, even if enough is available, but the energy card bypasses this and completely fills them with energy.
Ae2 not being able to recognize the drawers with creative upgrade isn't new. I'd suggest making a separate set of drawers with the upgrades in then pipe them into regular drawers that the system will recognise.
As much as people don't like ProjectE or it's predecessors EE, EE2 (and that abomination EE3), I think that it's pretty good at removing a lot of the annoying BS that comes with large scale packs. The same goes for some (not all) expert level packs. That being said it definitely needs the time and effort put into configuring it according to the desired progression to make its use primarily for alleviating a lot of otherwise repetitive and not really at all enjoyable tasks. There's a bunch of solid integration into various mods like AE2, Refined Storage, etc that boost this. I guess the big thing is for long timescale packs (like GTNH) if you were to use it, it would need to allow for certain items to be "unlocked" for use in the transmutation table as time goes on according to player progression. That's definitely hard to get right and would take hours of tinkering to ensure that insane shortcuts in the pack are not introduced on small oversights on what is available and their EMC value. That being said, I definitely see it having a solid place in helping in large packs. I just wished there would be better tooling for using it and integrating it for pack developers.
This is so true. It feels like a lot of expert packs late game just ask you to farm 2 million nether stars or similar. Just a massive grind instead of being fun.
I just discovered your channel, and I must say, you are seriously underrated. The high quality and rapid pacing make for an understandable and very entertaining experience. Keep up the good work!
I love expert modpacks (currently going through project ozone 3 on mythic mode) , but the thing that usually slows me down in completing them is choice anxiety deciding what to work on xD
Something I will mention: Power becomes a LOT easier if you automate Powah with XNet. 3 different orbs and you can put Blaze, Niotic, and Spirited to one, Nitro to the second and Energized steel to the third. You can easily hook the crafter to a chest and use XNet to divert anything to each orb. (Each craft that takes more than one type of item needs it's own orb for Xnet if you don't want clogs) From there, you just have to make the patterns for everything and you can just request all the reactors you need. For Mekanism... I'd actually Recommend getting into Mekanism as fast as possible. You can use Ethylene with only ~4 or so machines to MASSIVELY generate power early on. I had 3 gas burning generators and that was able to supply more energy than a Nitro Reactor... which is 2.5x what a spirited reactor can do. Substrate is a byproduct from the process and you can funnel that and your Ethylene into HDPE late game, saving you a bunch of pain. Another tip is that you can use a Nature's compass and an Angel block to find a Jungle biome. Fish in it, and you can get Bamboo. Use that in a roller, and you get straws. Straws will let your burners use refined fuel for Superheating, saving you time and effort over routing blaze cakes everywhere.
Thank you! As you witnessed I do try to hide from Mekanism, but I'll try out the generators next time. Automating Powah is really a must-have, as yeah the repetetive aspect can be draining. Interesting about the bamboo tip!
@@Hobble. No prob. Side note, as well, You can use Shield Projectors to trap the Wither. They're a part of RF tools and are immune to any and all damage and will block blasts from touching anything around it. You can also make them intangible to players to eliminate any problems with entering if need be. For Xnet Automating Powah with Xnet can be done with VERY basic power (Each time the Xnet controller moves an item, it cost ~5 RF.) and just one connector. Even a single dynamo could power an Xnet controller. As for the Gas Burning Generator, I had it pumped with ~10-12 Watches of flowing time in a compact cube because I just didn't feel like setting reactors. That one was easily managing ~1-2 MRF/t.... at least from what my Flux Controller thought. Only real downside is that you HAVE to pump it into some form of energy storage first. Be it Mek Cables or an energy cube. They Gas burning generators modulate their burn rate based on how full the block it's connected to is. So unless you're making Antimatter and are willing to make some Pressurized Reaction Chambers, you can theoretically get late game tier power and skip Powah entirely if you REALLY don't like it. Bamboo is a pain in the tush so always check if packs have the Market mod. Usually has a little stall thing you can make with wood and red wool. MM doesn't have it, but the fan pack sequel Mechanical Mastery+ does. You can buy different plants with emeralds... including bamboo. MM+ is also a good bit harder. Things cost more and you don't get the benefit of Transmutation if you pull too much stuff.
This is a really good video but i have a question to ask,i have been seeing a lot of people playing modpacks nowadays and they seem to just make amazing bases.And i gotta say your base looks very cool too.Can you please explain how you think of making the base? Is there a thought process going on or are you just building whenever you need?
Honestly, the easiest way to learn to build and put effort into a base is to start a youtube channel. The anxiety of showing off your work among all of the master builders out there is high! For me, I just build what I need, I never tend to worry about block palletes, I just mash together similar colours and then add leaves/buttons/trap doors! :)
@@Hobble.Thank you so much for answering,this has been a lot of trouble for me since making lawnbases is not really the type of gameplay i want to continue anymore.I might even try starting a youtube channel for it. :D I will try my best and i hope you get really big one day because there is just too much effort with little recognition.Have a nice day!
Being that you are playing so many different modpacks you should make a living document to rank them and keep track of how many hours they took you to beat! It would be a great resource for anyone looking for new modpacks in the future.
hey, just so you know, there's a Mechanical Mastery Plus now. it's an unofficial 1.19.2 port of the original, with a good handful of distinct differences. might be worth a try!
I finished watching this and I was very excited to see what other videos like this in ur channel, Ooh no... it's create all over the place ABORT ABORT.. keep up the good work, more videos like this would be awesome
Is this how modern "expert" modpacks look like? Wheres the pain, wheres the suffering? Wheres the spending multiple hours on just one item And the huge gratifying feeling achieving new heights brings Or am i just too far gone with gtnh...? Either way, amazing and entertaining video to watch
I didn't read all the previous comments, and I didn't know if anyone have said that. But I want to tell you that actually you can put the evertide amulet in the basic fluid tank to make an infinite water source just as you put the amulet into the valve.
i really liked the video. keep it up. although, have you thought about putting out two versions?... this one, plus an extended cut? not sure if the editing time would be worth the number of views it would get, though. just an idea. i don't think it would need to be too extended. just a bit more of the building footage. or... maybe just do one longer version, but include chapters so it's easy to skip over the parts you would normally cut out? and just name them something that makes it obvious which are the extended bits that you found on the cutting room floor.
with the rftools thing theres actually a setting where you dont have the use pipes to return the philosoper stone 13:58 justclick the Ext thing and there should be a setting there that does what i said
For the future, if you run into an issue like this where refined storage couldn't access the creative drawers, just have a regular drawer to hold the item and a creative drawer with an item pipe or something to export from the creative drawer to the normal drawer. Then set your system up to read items in the normal drawer instead of the creative ones Edit: as soon as I typed this, I went down and read someone else already had the same idea and commented it before lol
6:53 im pretty sure if you just place the emc link next to the multiservo press and turn the right side to output and enabling auto output it should just work. and its not like you cant retrieve the crystals from your emc network later
fix-ish for the infinite item drawer problem: make a double storage wall. one with the infinite upgrades, one actually connected to the network that has a high storage limit + void just incase you forgot to disconnect something or get item feedback. then pipe items directly from the infinite drawer to the networked drawer. well, if you have some reason to keep playing for a while after finishing the pack...
wow this deserves more views, maybe try changing the title to "I finished an X hour Minecraft Modpack in one video - the Movie" - the algorythm might like it better (AKA people who are not familiar with this modpack will click on it as well, hence it might get exponencionally more views
the first 8.5 minutes was genuinely enough to make me want to go back and play mm again. i stopped at tier 1 cus i lost interest after not seeing the stack limiter to alleviate the rod issue
Even if i dont have a pc and java but expert modpack are one of my fav kind modpack even tho i dont have brains for expert modpack anyways good video and happy 100th birthday lol❤
First time Ive come across your content. Really enjoy the style of this play through. Subbed and hoping for more like this. Mechanical Mastery is a fun pack, I played through it in about about a week. As experrt packs go its not that expert. Im not expert lol Never bother with mekanisms solar. Skip straight to wind turbines or gas gen if you want mekanism power. But I went powah too. I love the way powah handles wireless power distribution.
It describes itself as expert, and I can see some parts could be tricky. In all it was a great pack, but a fair bit of afk-ing needed for the end. There's another video in this playlist, this time tackling an easier tech-reduced pack. More planned in the future, just waiting for the right pack! :)
@@Hobble. I'm playing through Enigmatica 9 Expert. That's a real challenge for me. It's very strongly magic based and I'm a lot more comfortable with tech mods. I don't think it would lend itself to a one episode play through. Huge amount of content. Good let's play though. I see you played through Create: Above and Beyond. Have you looked at Create: Arcane Engineering? That *might* be doable in one (long) episode.
@@Hobble. I second the request for Create: Arcane Engineering, I've tried to get into it several times, but me and create just don't mesh. I'd love to see someone who looks good at create do it. Especially in your video style!
Psst backpacks are busted AF and can be placed in the world with so many stack upgrades, I sometimes use them over drawers, especially with the auto condensing, memory functions, and voiding. Loved the backpack I had at the end of a vanilla iron farm that I kept chunk loaded lol. Also no melanism footage, but the rest of your vids are all create? I get not wanting to go through it every time, but I haven't seen you go through it every 😂
ez fix for refine storage not seeing infinite storage is gathering all your drawers, placing them in the line with a line of chutes and line of drawers under them. You then connect bottom line to refined and upgrade it with emerald upgrades so it stores a lot of stuff.
Wither explosions won't destroy things in FTB claimed chunks in most packs. The withers can still break things by ramming into them, but a crusher should always be able to destroy a wither before it can do that.
At the start you already start waisting emc.. Logs burn for 1.5 items Planks burn also for 1.5 items.. But you get 4 planks per 1 log Charcoal can smelt 8 items.. But costs 1 item per smelt resulting into 7 profit smeltable items.. A charcoal block coats 9 charcoal but burns as if it were 10... By simply smelting your logs to charcoal you make a profit of 79 items instead of 1.5 items or for planks 6 items per log Each log being 32 emc means that a charcoal block costs around 0.5 Emc And planks cost 8 emc The only "down side of charcoal is that you need to smelt stuff in 80 but you need stuff in large amounts anyway"
@@Hobble.not all packs have coal blocks enabled but this one does.. And some might have them but change their burn time... Which this one also doesn't do
@@Hobble.also there are more things that could have been done for reducing emc than coal blocks.. Example: lava buckets can smelt 100 items.. And in one of the dynemo types makes a very decent amount of power for only a little bit of emc.. There are also the solar panels from Powah!... But they cost an investment to set them up but will repay you over time with free FE There is also the thing of being able to make steel using charcoal instead of coal in mekanism 4 charcoal ia basically 1 coal
Coulda used create with brass funnels and refined storage redstone things to have the system request items from drawers as the crafting recipe calls for them
Ya as someone who has done normal Project Ozone 3 this kind of end game crafting with creative level stuff gets crazy. That pack on normal is an expert pack then it has 3 more difficulty levels.
you could have made a simple gas burning generator or an array of cheap windmills from mekanism to fix your issues, mek is the power source and the hog
can i have to download the map for recreate the mechanisms? im kinda newbie into tech and this modpack is being a puzzle itself putting this mechanisms into litematica or sumth will help ! ty
I never heard someone pronounce "dirt" like deer-t before, and it only now occurred to me how weird it is we spell dirt d i r t when in most American accents its pronounced like "dert"
That's right, since posting this video I have tidied up the channel and removed the older/worser videos. In the Atm9 video I did recently I did go through Mekanism while explaining what's going on. :)
fair enough, started the playlist from the first entry so not there yet, why delete rather than unlist and then dump them all into a playlist so that anyone that wishes to do archeology can go do archeology?
@@sampfrost They are just privated in case I want to do something with them in the future. I'm not proud of the quality of that content so it shouldn't be visible imo :)
@@Hobble. fair enough, so long as they’re not lost to the void- might be something useful in them, at least that is what i tell myself to justify keeping my notebooks from my A-levels
Rftools crafter can be set to outputc which basically makes stuff like buckets, philosopher stones, and infusion crystals stay in the main inventory when autocrafting
Honestly, I'm not sure If Mechanical Mastery is actually considered an Expert Level Pack.... It's automation effort and grinding pales in comparison to ModPacks Like: Enigmatica 2, Ftb Infinity Evolved, All the FTB StoneBlock packs and even simple packs like Feed The Beast. But still, The fact it got craftable creative items and Mekanism (the nightmares of every modpack completionist) already makes it a pretty hard and challenging mod pack. It also has Projecte which already makes the Pack one of a kind. (even though that automatically makes the pack a bit easier it still requires a lot of effort) (((It also got Create which personally, Makes me die in the inside everytime a Pack includes Create)))
Having gone through it, I would agree with you on it not being really that expert. However, the pack developer called it an Expert pack on the Curseforge, so I rolled with it as it sounded good! :) It was fairly easy to over-produce items for the most part, and IMO for an expert pack, that would be much harder and require much more skill to do. :)
I agree. It was not very hard. But really give create a good try. It's so different than every mod you think. The problem I think is that it doesn't feel as fun when it's in a tech pack.
Refined Fuel...is a fuel source for a dynamo, that managed to keep up my power topped-up from first unlock till advanced mekanism, and I needed is to add a few more dynamos with good thermal expansion upgrades...also seeing how spread out your machinery is makes me feel uncomfortable, mine fit within a 30x30x5 area (pre-mekanism reactor) and was still very fast because thermal speed upgrades are op.
The "cinder flour" in the lava cakes reminds me of a video i once saw of a guy putting sawdust in bread to taste how much you could put in it until it became gross, and if diff kinds tasted different- xD
I'm glad I'm not the only one who cries whem Mekanism is included in a mod pack because the 500 step process to making a reactor is always a "fun time." (It is not.)
Should just be able to load it up as skyblock setting. On Curseforge there's a link to their Discord who can help you set it up correctly if you get stuck :)
Someone once asked before, and I tried to track it down but I couldn't sorry. It's not in my usual folders so it must have been downloaded for only this purpose.
14:00 you don't need a pipe for the loop of the Philosopher stone. Next time set the crafter as "ExtC" and not in "Ext" so you output everything exept the item needed for the craft
I like the idea of 1 episode for the whole modpack. i'd like to see more of this with other short modpacks
There's a playlist, two modpacks in it so far! :)
You make it look so easy… but as someone who has played with mekanism, I feel your pain. Great video!
It's such a cool mod but the grind and repetition every modpack is painful lol.
Thanks! :)

And the huge gratifying feeling achieving new heights brings
Or am i just too far gone with gtnh...?
Either way, amazing and entertaining video to watch
I didn't read all the previous comments, and I didn't know if anyone have said that. But I want to tell you that actually you can put the evertide amulet in the basic fluid tank to make an infinite water source just as you put the amulet into the valve.
i really liked the video. keep it up.
although, have you thought about putting out two versions?... this one, plus an extended cut? not sure if the editing time would be worth the number of views it would get, though. just an idea.
i don't think it would need to be too extended. just a bit more of the building footage.
or... maybe just do one longer version, but include chapters so it's easy to skip over the parts you would normally cut out? and just name them something that makes it obvious which are the extended bits that you found on the cutting room floor.
I know I have said it three other times but i absolutely love this idea of a series and will be watching along as long as this series goes on! ❤😊
Man, you think thats hard? Wait till you try the divine journey 2 modpack
Haha! :)
with the rftools thing theres actually a setting where you dont have the use pipes to return the philosoper stone 13:58 justclick the Ext thing and there should be a setting there that does what i said
Oh that would have been easier. Thanks:)
"Ahh, look at this scenery, i can imagine a factory of mass production just behind that lake "
Really cool, enjoyed it🔥
Kudos for the amount of patience you had with the modpack!!!! Also, the choice of words make it seem exactly what it is: suffering with Hell 🤣
For the future, if you run into an issue like this where refined storage couldn't access the creative drawers, just have a regular drawer to hold the item and a creative drawer with an item pipe or something to export from the creative drawer to the normal drawer. Then set your system up to read items in the normal drawer instead of the creative ones
Edit: as soon as I typed this, I went down and read someone else already had the same idea and commented it before lol
Next Gregtech: New Horizons in 1 go? Te-he Impressive Work, liked and subbed OFC!
This was like seeing GamingonCaffeine but with an unadvised amount of caffeine.
As usual absolute satisfaction see how you make and explain yous creations.
6:53 im pretty sure if you just place the emc link next to the multiservo press and turn the right side to output and enabling auto output it should just work. and its not like you cant retrieve the crystals from your emc network later
fix-ish for the infinite item drawer problem: make a double storage wall. one with the infinite upgrades, one actually connected to the network that has a high storage limit + void just incase you forgot to disconnect something or get item feedback. then pipe items directly from the infinite drawer to the networked drawer.
well, if you have some reason to keep playing for a while after finishing the pack...
I have no idea what half of this means but you explain it very well and that helped me alot😊 great video man, keep it up ❤❤

For the intro - Wanted everything spinning and looking cool! :)
>Ultimate Automation Modpack
Laughs hysterically in GregTech New Horizons Community Edition
wow this deserves more views, maybe try changing the title to "I finished an X hour Minecraft Modpack in one video - the Movie" - the algorythm might like it better (AKA people who are not familiar with this modpack will click on it as well, hence it might get exponencionally more views
Thank you! :) I'll consider it!
nice you did it
06:16 use a drawer as a buffer between machines for an early game filter.
I didn't have time to watch it all, but this is absolutely amazing! Great job Hobble 😁
Thank you! 😁
the first 8.5 minutes was genuinely enough to make me want to go back and play mm again. i stopped at tier 1 cus i lost interest after not seeing the stack limiter to alleviate the rod issue
i would love to see an enigmatica 6 expert video :D
Even if i dont have a pc and java but expert modpack are one of my fav kind modpack even tho i dont have brains for expert modpack anyways good video and happy 100th birthday lol❤
Try Mystical Block for a laid-back modpack experience. Mekanism is installed but not required for progression.
It's on my list of to do soon, as it does look quite chill :)
35:00 congrats on 2k subscribers :⁾
First time Ive come across your content. Really enjoy the style of this play through. Subbed and hoping for more like this.
Mechanical Mastery is a fun pack, I played through it in about about a week. As experrt packs go its not that expert. Im not expert lol
Never bother with mekanisms solar. Skip straight to wind turbines or gas gen if you want mekanism power. But I went powah too. I love the way powah handles wireless power distribution.
It describes itself as expert, and I can see some parts could be tricky. In all it was a great pack, but a fair bit of afk-ing needed for the end.
There's another video in this playlist, this time tackling an easier tech-reduced pack. More planned in the future, just waiting for the right pack! :)
@@Hobble. I'm playing through Enigmatica 9 Expert. That's a real challenge for me. It's very strongly magic based and I'm a lot more comfortable with tech mods. I don't think it would lend itself to a one episode play through. Huge amount of content. Good let's play though.
I see you played through Create: Above and Beyond. Have you looked at Create: Arcane Engineering? That *might* be doable in one (long) episode.
I'd not heard of that one, I'll need to check it out. I tried out a bit of Create: Astral, but like most people it seems, I gave up on it. :)
@@Hobble. I second the request for Create: Arcane Engineering, I've tried to get into it several times, but me and create just don't mesh. I'd love to see someone who looks good at create do it. Especially in your video style!
I did the thing
“Glorious Nether octopus” 😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂
Ah yes, turning minecraft into factorio.
Imagine if this mod pack had Ex Nhilo instead of just giving you the resources. The grind would might take double lmao
Looking forward to when you get to FTB Neotech
Psst backpacks are busted AF and can be placed in the world with so many stack upgrades, I sometimes use them over drawers, especially with the auto condensing, memory functions, and voiding. Loved the backpack I had at the end of a vanilla iron farm that I kept chunk loaded lol.
Also no melanism footage, but the rest of your vids are all create? I get not wanting to go through it every time, but I haven't seen you go through it every 😂
ez fix for refine storage not seeing infinite storage is gathering all your drawers, placing them in the line with a line of chutes and line of drawers under them. You then connect bottom line to refined and upgrade it with emerald upgrades so it stores a lot of stuff.
Great idea :)
Wither explosions won't destroy things in FTB claimed chunks in most packs. The withers can still break things by ramming into them, but a crusher should always be able to destroy a wither before it can do that.
I'd tested it, in this specific instance the things were destroyed by the first wither explosion. So it's worth testing out in each pack :)
At the start you already start waisting emc..
Logs burn for 1.5 items
Planks burn also for 1.5 items.. But you get 4 planks per 1 log
Charcoal can smelt 8 items.. But costs 1 item per smelt resulting into 7 profit smeltable items.. A charcoal block coats 9 charcoal but burns as if it were 10...
By simply smelting your logs to charcoal you make a profit of 79 items instead of 1.5 items or for planks 6 items per log
Each log being 32 emc means that a charcoal block costs around 0.5 Emc
And planks cost 8 emc
The only "down side of charcoal is that you need to smelt stuff in 80 but you need stuff in large amounts anyway"
I'll need to remember to come back to this comment the next time I play a pack with EMC like this! Thanks :)
@@Hobble.not all packs have coal blocks enabled but this one does.. And some might have them but change their burn time... Which this one also doesn't do
@@Hobble.also there are more things that could have been done for reducing emc than coal blocks.. Example: lava buckets can smelt 100 items.. And in one of the dynemo types makes a very decent amount of power for only a little bit of emc.. There are also the solar panels from Powah!... But they cost an investment to set them up but will repay you over time with free FE
There is also the thing of being able to make steel using charcoal instead of coal in mekanism 4 charcoal ia basically 1 coal
Coulda used create with brass funnels and refined storage redstone things to have the system request items from drawers as the crafting recipe calls for them
I love mekanism… right up till I get to the reactor stage. Take out the later half of mekanism and it’s just about perfect.
100% this
Opposite for me. I love automating the reactors. Max size is fun. I only used the gas burning generators recently.
Ya as someone who has done normal Project Ozone 3 this kind of end game crafting with creative level stuff gets crazy. That pack on normal is an expert pack then it has 3 more difficulty levels.
you could have made a simple gas burning generator or an array of cheap windmills from mekanism to fix your issues, mek is the power source and the hog
can i have to download the map for recreate the mechanisms? im kinda newbie into tech and this modpack is being a puzzle itself
putting this mechanisms into litematica or sumth will help ! ty
I don't currently have a world download available, sorry! :)
@@Hobble. its fine, thanks for your answer !
I never heard someone pronounce "dirt" like deer-t before, and it only now occurred to me how weird it is we spell dirt d i r t when in most American accents its pronounced like "dert"
I hope he knows that a sink also has infinite water as well but the amulet is as good as well.
do more please it's so good to watch
Making the process of getting steel via Immersive Engineering this short almost feels criminal. Making steel is my least favorite part of IE.
Oh wow this is high quality content i love it ❤❤
have you unlisted a bunch of videos where you went through mekanism stuff or is that in the create tutorials for some reason?
That's right, since posting this video I have tidied up the channel and removed the older/worser videos. In the Atm9 video I did recently I did go through Mekanism while explaining what's going on. :)
fair enough, started the playlist from the first entry so not there yet, why delete rather than unlist and then dump them all into a playlist so that anyone that wishes to do archeology can go do archeology?
@@sampfrost They are just privated in case I want to do something with them in the future. I'm not proud of the quality of that content so it shouldn't be visible imo :)
@@Hobble. fair enough, so long as they’re not lost to the void- might be something useful in them, at least that is what i tell myself to justify keeping my notebooks from my A-levels
9:10 song is Fantasia by infraction music
Yes it's amazing! It's also the intro music :)
i played this pack once but anything past tier 3 broke me... I was not ready...
now to achieve ultimate mastery of automation you got to do GT:NH :D
Rftools crafter can be set to outputc which basically makes stuff like buckets, philosopher stones, and infusion crystals stay in the main inventory when autocrafting
Expert level mod pack, BUT THE SHORTEST ONE CLICK WONDER!
Yep and they got much more difficult than this too lol
Honestly, I'm not sure If Mechanical Mastery is actually considered an Expert Level Pack....
It's automation effort and grinding pales in comparison to ModPacks Like: Enigmatica 2, Ftb Infinity Evolved, All the FTB StoneBlock packs and even simple packs like Feed The Beast.
But still, The fact it got craftable creative items and Mekanism (the nightmares of every modpack completionist) already makes it a pretty hard and challenging mod pack.
It also has Projecte which already makes the Pack one of a kind. (even though that automatically makes the pack a bit easier it still requires a lot of effort)
(((It also got Create which personally, Makes me die in the inside everytime a Pack includes Create)))
Having gone through it, I would agree with you on it not being really that expert. However, the pack developer called it an Expert pack on the Curseforge, so I rolled with it as it sounded good! :)
It was fairly easy to over-produce items for the most part, and IMO for an expert pack, that would be much harder and require much more skill to do. :)
I agree. It was not very hard. But really give create a good try. It's so different than every mod you think. The problem I think is that it doesn't feel as fun when it's in a tech pack.
I legit just realized you replied to my comment after I decided to rewatch this video (I liked it a lot).....
I feel so honoured right now😭😭@@Hobble.
I would love to see you beat divine journey 2 but it's such a grind
Refined Fuel...is a fuel source for a dynamo, that managed to keep up my power topped-up from first unlock till advanced mekanism, and I needed is to add a few more dynamos with good thermal expansion upgrades...also seeing how spread out your machinery is makes me feel uncomfortable, mine fit within a 30x30x5 area (pre-mekanism reactor) and was still very fast because thermal speed upgrades are op.
I was honestly so confused when you said that you waited and reached 2000 subs. I thought you had at least 50k
you're underrated omg
did this modpack get updated recently? just started playing and for some reason a lot of the crafts you use are different
Yeah, I believe a few popular channels started to play so QOL updates were pushed. I played on 1.1.0 and it's currently on 1.5.0 :)
@@Hobble. I believe the reason the recipes were missing was cause for some reason I was playing alpha version 1
Cool. Now beat GTNH in one episode.
The one I've just finished took me nearly 2 months, I don't think anyone can do GTNH like this haha.
The "cinder flour" in the lava cakes reminds me of a video i once saw of a guy putting sawdust in bread to taste how much you could put in it until it became gross, and if diff kinds tasted different- xD
howd you get the bottle o' enchanting for the boomshroom spores?
Industrial Foregoing and the Dissolution Chamber. Seems to be the only way to get one
@@Hobble. did you use mob crushers?
Either the Crusher or the Slaughter factory, whichever one generates the exp
you can also use modular routers it has an upgrade for collecting xp and you can select either fluid or bottles
Its the first Video of you i have ever watched but I´ve been using your skin for years now xd
I'm glad I'm not the only one who cries whem Mekanism is included in a mod pack because the 500 step process to making a reactor is always a "fun time." (It is not.)
It's fun the first time, then it is the worst! :)
You should do the modpack "epoch runner"
14:01 you could set the recipe type to ExtC and not need this looping part
how do i get the map?
It's not currently available as I have no way to share it, even after trimming chunks It's file size is too large for discord, sorry! :)
@@Hobble. do you know how I can make one for myself or do I need something specific?
Do you mean the modpack? You can get it on curseforge, I may have a link in the description to it :)
@@Hobble. no I have the mod pack I meant is there anything special the world needs? Because I can probably find a sky block island
Should just be able to load it up as skyblock setting. On Curseforge there's a link to their Discord who can help you set it up correctly if you get stuck :)

17:42 How did you get feathers, please i need gem armor
You get eggs from a quest, or I think you can haunt dough into eggs
@@Hobble. Thank you, I can now die peacefully knowing I have creative flight and good armor
Yo sick video bro
uhhh where does the gravel come from 2:40?
im confused
It's a by-product from the pulveriser, It's just a very efficient cut haha. Sorry about that.
"this so called expert pack is going to be easy for sure" sometimes foreshadowing can be obvious
This is going to quick :/ Can you release a world download? So i can have a closer look at how some of the things where automated
bit late and i dont know if you read comments still but whats the song at 27:35? i'd like to know
Someone once asked before, and I tried to track it down but I couldn't sorry. It's not in my usual folders so it must have been downloaded for only this purpose.
I’m probably the only one but mekanism is by far my favorite minecraft mod
It's a great mod, but for a long time it was in every single modpack with no recipe changes, so it got old fast lol.
