I don't know what the capacity limit of the drawer/transfer node combo actually is but the main bottleneck is the speed of the cobblegen. If you really want to optimise this hop into creative and start testing. You can run up to 5 cobblegen nodes into a single drawer and extract...

Technically you want a massive load of actual cobblegens at the bottom and there's no need to have multiple drawers for higher compression levels. You definitely don't need more than a stack upgrade and maybe some speed for the upper transfer nodes, which is a massive cost reduction if "full of...

Removing AOBTD might break some important compatibility mechanics (mainly thinking of using TC purification on mod metals here) Then there's the matter of defining what is "essential", if you're a tech freak you can go without Thaumcraft, Blood Magic or Botania, but if you care about...

You also have to build the containment out of sandstone or mod blocks and have to ensure the thing keeps running or the fire will go out. See this post for an example setup (not mine). Someone also claimed the fire had infinite spread range through air, so build an outer shell before you light...

Oh yeah, one extremely convenient one I forgot is being able to teleport Aura Nodes via Blood Magic Teleposers. Costs virtually nothing, moves obsidian boxes along with the hungry node itself and doesn't damage the node in any way (obelisks explode if you port out their node though). Add a...

That can also go wrong in the most terrifyingly hilarious way if the fire gets out...

You have to spawn exact copies to get more "champion" mobs from an MFR spawner however, and those take a ton more power and essence. Here's a list of prefixes and corresponding abilities, most of them basically translate to "stay well away or kill ASAP" though. Of some note is the "Undying"...

ExtraUtils Cursed Earth+MFR mob spawner=synthesise almost any non-boss mob drop virtually for free Above setup+EnderIO=completely nullify ender pearls as a balancing mechanic, no dragon kill needed. Botania+any treefarm=easy free mana that never decays Pam's Harvestcraft+Agricraft+MFR=free food...

Bring a smeltery, 6 doors and a minecart :D

Last I checked shedding was disabled in the default configs for Infinity Evolved. The "vacation portal" wasn't though...

Greatly depends on your definition of "lategame", which kind of capabilities do you want to unlock quickly? Because producing 20k iron/second won't help you beat the Gaia Guardian 2.0, nor will a T6 Blood Altar produce RF unless there's an addon for that. You don't have TiCo, so you probably...

Signalum is only relevant for projectile launchers as those use a different stat set. On that second pick you actually want to replace the binding with paper or Magical Wood, regular bindings don't contribute to total durability and Thaumic only gives an extra modifier for the first piece, and...

The curious part is that your design is the absolute best when only considering vanilla+TiCo(+ExtraTiC, else replace Enderium with Cobalt), it is only outclassed by specific mod mechanics or a potential need for silk touch. Durability can still be relevant based on private configs, but my main...

I believe you can get slightly better durability (and less annoying crafting imo) by using a Thaumium tool rod, and save materials by using a paper binding as the stats don't matter. In the end it doesn't matter much if you stick a capacitor on it though, as you can't reach a better tier either...

How about "Factorio"? :D
