A technology and crafting based modpack that focuses on NuclearCraft and the complex custom multiblock reactors it adds. In addition there are a wide range tech machines from simple smelting machines all the way up to massive factory machines to help automate your production
Other highlight mods in this pack are

- Open Modular Turrets - A mod that lets you craft stationary gun turrets to defend your base starting at potato canons all the way up to laser guns
- Pam's Harvestcraft - An in-depth farming mod that adds 160+ crops, fruits trees, and animals products that create over 600 new food recipes. Crops grow in certain season which is added in Serene Seasons
- Railcraft - A tech mod based around locomotion and using trains to move large amounts of resources long distances
- Thermal Expansion - A simple tech mod helps you increase your resources with simple and easy to learn machines that work well with more complex mods in the late game
This along with many smaller quality of life and decorative mods make for a in-depth late game experience
